Jacob Barry Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) I am looking to build another hackintosh for my design team. Mainly using photoshop and illustrator. Also doing some video editing. The one I have built has been running Monterey steady for about 6 months now. Had a couple small issues in the beginning, but nothing since. I do have the occasional issue with it booting, but I am wondering if it has something to do with the Samsung drive I chose. Here are the specs of the first one I built I9-12900K CPU G.SKILL 128G DDR4 MSI RX6600 ARMOR 8G V1 MSI Pro PRO Z690-A MOBO CORSAIR RM850 ATX PSU NZXT KRAKEN X73 SAMSUNG 2TB 970 Evo NVME M.2 SSD What would you recommend for a build with similar or better specs. What would you change? I do know that I should not have chosen the 970 Evo as a drive. I have had no issues with it yet, but I know it could be causing a slow boot and maybe some other things? I would like a very powerful and reliable machine I can build for my design team. I would like a mobo with 10G networking or a 10G network card that will work. Would it be worth it to switch to DDR5? Is there much benefit over DDR4 for the cost? I do not really have a budget. I built the above machine for roughly $3200. Thanks in advance. Edited June 13, 2022 by Jacob Barry

Jacob Barry Posted June 21, 2022 Author Posted June 21, 2022 @MaLd0n What about a graphics card? I have been looking at a Sapphire 6900XT or a 6800XT. Is sapphire the best brand for a build or will other brands work too?

Jacob Barry Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 @MaLd0n I am building yet another Hackintosh. I am wanting to use different components. I thought I would ask you if these would work as there is not much online about these yet. CPU - I9-12900KS - I want to try this instead of the I9-12900K or the I9-12900KF GPU - SAPPHIRE NITRO+ PURE Radeon RX 6950 XT 16GB GDDR6 MOBO - GIGABYTE Z690 AERO D DDR5 is what i am looking at, or are there other higher end motherboards that would work better? I used the Gigabyte Gaming X DDR5 in my last build but I would like to get a much higher end Mobo for this build. NvME - Corsair MP600 Pro M.2 2280 2TB I like this motherboard as it has 2X RJ45 and thunderbolt. Will the thunderbolt work? Would all of these components work for my build? I am trying to go as high end and as many features as possible. Do you have any suggestions? I really don't have a budget for this. I just want the most top of the line hardware for this build. Thanks!

I would really like to have a high end motherboard with thunderbolt capabilities if possible, but not necessary. Or, could i get an Ethernet add on card that is 10Gbe?

Jacob Barry Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 @MaLd0n I am trying to install Monterey 12.5 CPU - I9-12900KS GPU - SAPPHIRE NITRO+ PURE Radeon RX 6950 XT 16GB GDDR6 MOBO - GIGABYTE Z690 AERO D DDR5 NvME - Corsair MP600 Pro M.2 2280 2TB When I try to install the OS, it just keeps rebooting. I have tried every USB port. I have tried the monterey and ventura images with the same result. This mobo has no USB2 ports on it. What do you suggest?

Jacob Barry Posted August 9, 2022 Author Posted August 9, 2022 Hi @MaLd0n I have tried the EFI you gave me. It gets stuck during install at line "Registered Core Analytics Hub Functions with XNU" I had to get a different MOBO - It is a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master DDR5. I am trying to install Monterey 12.5 CPU - I9-12900KS GPU - SAPPHIRE NITRO+ PURE Radeon RX 6950 XT 16GB GDDR6 NvME - Corsair MP600 Pro M.2 2280 2TB Any Suggestions? @MaLd0n I tried with the other EFI folder. It gets to "Warning: Unsupported module-level executable opcode" @MaLd0n There are no USB 2.0 ports
