14-core iMacPro Killer | Ultimate Hackintosh Build 2020

[@CarlosGarcia-yg9je]

No one has more Hackintosh expertise than Teress. I have spent months going over websites and KZbin channels but she is, in my opinion, the best at building Hackintoshes. I became a monthly Patreon and enjoy it 100% . Besides all the freebies that she gives to Patreons on a regular basis, if you ever have any difficulty with your build Teress will contact you via Skype and walk you through your installation. Do yourself a favor and become one of her Patreons. You will not regret it.

Thank you so much for all you have done! I've been a $30/month patreon supporter for August, and you helped me build the EXACT computer I was looking for. After using Mac computers since 2008 as an audio engineer and producer, I really dreaded the idea of switching to Windows because the new Mac product line just wasn't what I wanted. Your videos and personalized help were the sole factors in keeping me in the Apple environment. I'm now running a hackintosh on Mojave that would easily have cost over $4000, but I only paid a small fraction of that cost! You have really been a lifesaver. I'm so happy with my machine. Thank you for communicating with me on all the details and helping me get up and running.

Hello again Teresa (hope I'm writing your name right, lol), I just realized the Gigabyte Z390 Designare has a built-in "integrated graphics processor". Do you by any chance know if it is compatible with macOS? If so, what do you think are my chances of getting it to work just fine while I save money to buy a better one (or do I even need a better one?)

Absolutely brilliant, my machine as an absolute beast and cost very little. Reading other guides they all make it so complicated, and even found some that say parts of this hardware don't work on this motherboard. I can say I have working USB, Ethernet, Wifi & bluetooth, (not native on the board), thunderbolat and built in audio. I'll say again, Absolutely brilliant!

Hi Teress Do you think if I build a hackintosh as the tutorial, I can use the feature as Apple sidecar? Thank you 🔥

[@TheHealingGrid]

If you need help to build a Hackintosh, like I did, then I highly recommend Teresa. Teresa’s videos are very clear, but if you’re limited on Hackintosh knowledge like me, you can still experience some tricky elements to the install, as all Hackintosh’s are different, so require careful configuration, which Teresa has helped me with. I’ve saved many thousands of £ of my hard earned money with Teresa’s help, so it’s a no-brainer to sort her out for her time - don’t be one of these people that expects somebody’s time and effort for nothing! If you do expect something for nothing, then simply figure it out for yourself. Think about it - an IT technician would cost you $40+ per hour, so Teresa’s help via Patreon represents amazing value!! Yes, you can figure this out for free by following the excellent online guides, but if you’re like me and don’t have weeks of time free to absorb all of this great info and guidance, then have to go around in circles with repeated trial and error scenarios, trying to get the machine working smoothly, then Teresa’s help is a wish come true! I’ve just built a super-power Hackintosh for a fraction of the price it would have cost me to buy the equivalent iMac Pro 14-core machine. My specs are: CPU - i9 9900k Motherboard - Gigabyte Z390 Designare GPU - Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse RAM - HyperX 32gb 3600 Mhz Everything works, inc. all motherboard internal and rear ports, case front ports, Thunderbolt 3 etc. I’ve got a quiet case and silent aio cooling - it is literally silent, even on heavy CPU load. My Geekbench scores are: Single Core - 6840 Multi Core - 39715 14 core iMac Pro Geekbench scores are: Single Core - 5192 Multi Core - 41344 Impressive right? I can’t recommend Teresa enough - THANK YOU!! :)

I would like to build a hackintoch too. I never done it before. It's nice to see it in a apple case as well. I have one like it and want to use it. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any videos on how you assemble them? Do you have videos on that? That would be really helpful.

[@TrackItRight]

I'd like to give this build a shot but some of the parts don't seem to be available anymore. Can we get an updated comparable list? And unless there's a lot of price gouging going on, I'm far over the $2400 that this system is claimed to be built for - and I still have a couple of components left to add.

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

main components are still the same and easy to buy and gpus you can buy any you want, I showed in my videos lot of compatible variants

[@sebastianflores5607]

Whats a good case you recommend for this build? Also, didn't see a US purchase link for the cooling.

[@MoechtegernPimP]

hello. can all hardware components of this setup be shared on dual boot system between windows and mac? Does it need an additional disk? Thanks a lot

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

better first watch my video about dual boot kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ-4ppRsncugoNU

[@seanblahovici6543]

Great video! I was wondering if you could suggest a cheaper compatible alternative to the RAM sticks? They are quite expensive. Are they really worth the price, for a software developer / gamer? Thank you for your input

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

I have lot of great videos. You can choose any RAM you want :)

[@christiansirk]

that 750 power source is enough? i am about to build one just like you said and a lot of people told me that 750 is not the best option. And since you didn't said anything about the souce i just want to double check. Thank you!

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

750 is enough for my i9 + Vega FE

Hi Teresa, super cool vid, I was waiting for this one, but I have a little question. I'm mostly working in music prod and composition. I have a slave computer (maxed out Mac Pro 5.1) that handle every virtual instruments. My master computer is an hackintosh (7700k delided, z170 ultra gaming, 970 pro etc...) In the music field, DAWs require more speed than power, more real time speed than general performance, so more about single core performance rather multicore. The 9900k seems to have both, I mean it's super powerful and still super fast but I heard the 5GHz turboboost isn't really affecting all the cores the same way (mostly boosting the 2 first cores). Have you experienced something like that ? My best geekbench score with the i7 7700k OC to 5Ghz was 6270 single core and 20814 multicore. Is your 6700+ score on single score would be that noticeable gain in real time performance ? (I'm looking for upgrade both of my master and slave computer)

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

if you set correctly it in BIOS then all cores are maxed out at max frequency

[@BengalsFan2363]

I am trying to build this system but i cant seem to find the GPU anywhere. Is there an alternative that will work with same or better performance?

[@BrianMillbrookProductions]

GPU question. In this video description the GPU is listed as the Sapphire Radeon VII 16gb. On your morgonaut.cloud website the description on the same video shows the GPU as AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition liquid. Before I make a purchase, are both of these GPUs comparable? or is one leaps and bounds over the other in terms of performance when video editing?

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

both gpus are great and work great

[@BrianMillbrookProductions]

@@MorgonautHackintosh thanks so much..once I buy all of the parts I'm going to sign up for your patreon so I can get the necessary files and support.

[@MediaEasier]

Is there a tutorial anywhere on how you converted your macpro case shell?

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

I converted lot of Apple cases, but I did not do any video about it because it's very complicated and takes really lot of time to rebuild such a case

[@scotthendersonart]

Hello & thank you for these fantastic video resources. I am new to building PCs and I am building according to your parts list, however I am stumbling on the GPU. The one spec'd is $1679 US. I am wondering if there is a difference between the Sapphire Radeon VII and the PowerColor Radeon VII which is $699 US? To my eye the info looks the same. Am I missing something?

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

yes there is, I am talking about it in my last video

[@scotthendersonart]

@@MorgonautHackintosh Ok, thanks, just found it. If anybody wants the reference it's at 15:36 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rajYemaGeL2nl7M -

[@flyinlo1474]

Where can I get a copy of the EFI setup for this I9 build? This is my first Mac build and I ordered all the exact same parts. Thank you very much for the tutorials. I went thru the video on using clover configurator but this video mentioned you would provide the EFI files for this build. That will be most helpful.. Thanks again!

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

Sorry, after numerous constant attacks against me personaly from some st___d people I don't provide any free gifts anymore

[@marcussVRLinux]

Your videos got me going on the Hackintosh subject. I won't be able to afford that iMac Pro killer... but I will see what I can do for about 500 bucks. Very informative channel!

[@TheAndyroo770]

Can you recommend a WiFi/Bluetooth module for the z390 Designare? Or does the included WiFi work?

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

for wifi/bt I recommend these 2 solutions: first: amzn.to/2U2ToFf = adapter amzn.to/2URNKD3 = card itself second: Wifi: amzn.to/2YgrDYY BlueTooth amzn.to/2Vnkd8B

[@andyvandj]

Also Teress, what case do you suggest for this ? I can't find one that has 2 Thunderbolt ports ? (Just found Fractal Design one that has 1 on front)

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

probably no case has TB on case, only USB-C

[@andyvandj]

@@MorgonautHackintosh what case do you use ? Or do you know one with 2 USB-C connections?

[@dannyfritzgerald5712]

Good video ! At 4:59 what is the dual fan in the back of computer below radeon graphics card and in front of z390 designare? I don’t know if this comes with the power supply or is a extra cooling fan for temperature control. And where does the fan plug into I know exactly where the alpha cool lt360 plugs into which is the cooling for the frontier edition. Anyone with help would be great ! Thanks @ Morgonaut again !

[@appleale]

Great Teresa! Can you explain how to setting up motherboard bios?

[@MorgonautHackintosh]

why don't you watch my 2 videos about bios settings??

[@appleale]

@@MorgonautHackintosh Do you refer to kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4aZlaaubr9mZ5o ? I tried but it's really different from the Designare latest release F9b.
