punk! Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi Guys, Can anyone help me with Chinese motherboard compatibility and CPUS Xeon E5-2689? I would like to set up Hackintosh, without spending a lot of money. I did a little research and found this Motherboard Kit With Xeon E5-2689 2.6ghz CPU. Could anyone confirm if using this kit I can mount a hacktinsoh to install macOS Mojave? I accept Hardware recommendations! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Yes, it is possible. https://www.applelife.ru/threads/huanan-x79-i-podobnoe-zhelezo.1947010/ Use google translate to read Russian. I have to recommend you video card Nvidia GT710 as cheapest compatible or AMD RX570 as very good supported and not very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etorix Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Good luck with that! It might be possible, but quircky, and I would not trust the listing on AliExpress for the actual specifications. For instance, the motherboard size is listed as "CEB" but the picture shows a rather small board with 2 PCIe slots dominated by the LGA2011 socket; it rather looks like Flex-ATX to me (uncommon even in server boards, but fits in any micro-ATX-compatibel case). You may have to install Window or Linux first to discover what hardware components are actually on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
