am_yvr Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Asus Prime B360M-A or Asus Prime H310M-E : Which of these two motherboards would give less hassle in a Hackintosh build - requiring fewer after install fixes/updates to get everything working in Mojave or High Sierra? These are the only two Asus models that I can afford, fit the form factor in my build, and already have had a BIOS upgrade by Asus to 9th-generation - if I want to replace the CPU with an i9 in the future (for now I'll be using i7-8700 or even i3-8350k but I want to future proof a bit) Thanks guys!

LockDown Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 basically the same. i have tried both Giga H310M & Asus B360M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am_yvr Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks for confirming! I'm leaning towards the ASUS and I've got another noob question ... is there much positive/negative difference for building my hackintosh between the B360M-A i was thinking of (like the one in your pic) and these other B360M versions below? so many models lol to choose from lol: ASUS PRIME B360M-C ASUS PRIME B360M-K ASUS TUF B360M-E GAMING ASUS TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING ASUS TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am_yvr Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 None of the others seem to have many reviews, so I'm thinking from Asus's micro ATX B360M lineup, the B360M-A is the one to get ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think makes Gigabyte better? Gigabyte Z370M DSH could be an option but again not sure of Hackintosh friendliness on that particular board... I've been thinking Asus for a couple other reasons (for example Multi Core Enhancement to drive the i7 8700 a little bit faster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am_yvr Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Thanks! Do you know which asus boards or chipsets have problems?
