FALLOFMAN Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm starting a new build for music production and audio engineering and I need thunderbolt 3 support. All I need is a motherboard, ram and a cpu, at reasonable prices and mid/upper tier (canadian prices) these are my suggestions so far but I am by no means a hackintosh building pro so I thought i'd post it here to see if anyone could clarify MOTHERBOARD Gigabyte 7370 AOURUS gaming k3 s1151 CPU intel core i5 8600 3.0 ghz RAM Corsair Ddr4 Lpx 3200 16gb kit ALSO I already have mac os installed on the SSD I plan on using in the new computer. If I just plug it into the MOBO, will mac os run so I can install the proper kexts and kernels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Try follow this guide: [Guide] Sierra / High Sierra / Mojave on mobos Serie 100 / 200 / 300 / SkyLake / KabyLake / CoffeeLake DSDT 53 minutes ago, FALLOFMAN said: If I just plug it into the MOBO, will mac os run so I can install the proper kexts and kernels? At the first time, probably you'll have a KP. But before plug it, remove the unnecessary kexts, and just keep the essentials for the Hack boot up. If the macOS boot successfully, then, you can search and install the proper kexts for your Hack. Hint: Olarila app / Images and Folders Also @MaLd0n can help you by applying the right patches in your DSDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FALLOFMAN Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 So I just checked and its going to cost me about $1200 canadian dollars just for those 3 parts. Is there anything cheaper I can go with that has thunderbolt 3 support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
