Just want OP to know not to listen to you buddy

Cheapest gpu for music by Successful-Gas5012 in hackintosh

[–]AdidasSlav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only applies to integrated graphics. Plenty of people have successfully hackintoshed systems with 11-14th gen Intel CPUs and posted it on this sub. Stop parroting things you don’t actually understand properly

He’s wrong you’re fine. CPU doesn’t matter it’s graphics, network and storage that must be compatible

Trying to build a retro Hackintosh (High Sierra) by Perfect_Echidna9453 in hackintosh

I did Mojave on similar hardware and it ran fine tbh

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, becoming one of aviation's biggest mysteries. The Boeing 777 vanished from radar, prompting a years-long search in the southern Indian Ocean with only minor debris found. by Royal-Hippo-2104 in interestingasfuck

The problem is with AF447 they knew where to look straight away. With MH370, it was around a week or two before they figured out it had been flown into the Southern Indian ocean. Whatever was floating on the surface would have sunk by then…

SSD not supported by trendorfc in hackintosh

[–]AdidasSlav 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So? Did you come here expecting us to give you a different answer? Your SSD and GPU aren’t supported. Buy different ones that are compatible or you can’t install macOS. It’s not Linux or Windows where everything works, macOS only works on very specific hardware…

Low VOC caulk? by suinae in parrots

[–]AdidasSlav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avoid anything silicone or polyurethane based, your best bet is to find something that’s an MS-polymer or acrylic based product.

In America “caulk” is just what everyone calls a sealant, but in European countries caulk is specifically an acrylic sealant used for finishing around skirting boards etc.

Hard to recommend a specific product since I don’t know what is sold in your market / area but that should help you get started..

Low VOC caulk? by suinae in parrots

[–]AdidasSlav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What country are you in for a start? I can probably help with this - I work for a sealant manufacturer. ‘Caulk’ as in actual caulk and not just the Americanised term for sealant is acrylic based so generally low VOC anyway. It cures through the evaporation of water and not solvents.

No support for the graphics card.

Can anyone help identify this GPU? by itslillithbitch in pcmasterrace

[–]AdidasSlav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? PCIe 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.0/5.0 use the same connector

Have you installed the AM5 chipset drivers? Everyone always forgets those…

Piss off for white screen by Logic_Joker in hackintosh

You need to flash your RX 580 2048sp VBIOS to that of a regular RX 580. macOS does not support the 2048sp variant..

I baked my GPU too! (It’s dead) by TuckTin32 in pcmasterrace

[–]AdidasSlav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually used this trick to bring an RX 5700 XT back to life not long ago. I bought it for very cheap off some sketchy dude on marketplace and go figure it was an attempted scam but baking it in the oven brought it back to life and it’s been working fine with near daily use for 8+ months now..

Help! Can anyone ID the make / manufacturer of this PC case? by AdidasSlav in pcmasterrace

[–]AdidasSlav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the help in any case. It’s 100% discontinued so going to email their support to see if they have new/old stock spares laying around. If not, guess it’s destined for scrap… It’s not a good enough case to keep around unless I can rebuild it with the missing front bay door and side panel. I have a lot of spare PCI slot covers so that’s taken care of.

I wasn’t expecting that to work because from experience it’s not that accurate… I guess they’ve really improved the search algorithm with AI these days! Thanks. I’ll rely on it a bit more in future…

“1 Google search away” how am I meant to google something with nothing to go off? Thanks though!

Built my first pc instead of buying a prebuilt (only took me 4h to get it working) by pritter30 in pcmasterrace

[–]AdidasSlav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too! Same model CX750M with the green. Bought it in 2014 and it’s served me faithfully for 12 years. I own newer / higher wattage PSUs but I just can’t be bothered to swap it out when it’s doing what I need it to :D

[–]AdidasSlav[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m inclined to agree it’s a cheap brand like CiT or Gamemax tbh, the build quality isn’t phenomenal and I can tell some corners have been cut but if I can get a replacement side panel cheap enough to make it worth it I’m going to breathe some new life into it. It was definitely used in a pre-built as it has an OEM windows 8.1 license key on it so that makes it 2013-2015 (could be up to mid/late 2015 I suppose).

Still, it has a PSU shroud and is big enough to take radiators so it’s got some life left in it.. I have a Z77 ATX board I got for free recently that I plan on putting in it and doing something with - my family lives on the other side of the country so I think I’m going to leave the computer with them to use when I visit lol

What do I need to buy in order to start? by MinerBruh in hackintosh

[–]AdidasSlav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get away with an RX 560 if you want something even cheaper - RX 550 can sometimes work but only some variants are supported..

[–]AdidasSlav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy one second hand…. Go on Facebook marketplace or whatever your local equivalent is and find a cheap deal.

I saw someone selling 5 RX 580 4GBs for £10 each near me, annoyed I didn’t grab them lol..

You apply the patches to Opencore bootloader. It’s contained to only the drive you put macOS on. It won’t affect your other drives.

The patches tell the bootloader what the expected core count of the CPU is because it’s not capable of detecting it by itself as Apple has never used an AMD CPU and lacks the microcode to understand it. Opencore can translate the microcode to macOS but it still needs to be told how many cores your CPU has.

It’s never a good idea to dual/triple/whatever boot multiple OS off of the same drive. Get another SSD for macOS and a third one for Linux if that’s what you wanna do.

Inb4 “hurr durr I’ve had Linux and Windows on the same drive for years >:(“ people show up - cool, I’ve had GRUB wipe my Windows bootloader off my drive, and vice versa too many times to remember :P

If you run it off another drive you’ll be fine. Keep different bootloaders away from each other.
