Bought one recently after letting my very old Dell T5400 Dual Xeon go after many years. I have a E5 1620 v4 with 16g ddr4 2133 dimms and a 970 Samsung Pci-e ssd. Going to install another 32g ram and upgrade the cpu as well. Amazing how much these machines can be upgraded. Cool video.

[@sembutininverse]

awesome videos as always, and nice to see you back 👍🏻

[@ps0111]

Nice to see your back man! keep up the great videos!

[@EliezYT]

This is pretty neat bro I’m making one quite like it.

[@jaffo73]

I've just come across this video and I have acquired a Z440 with the 18c/36thread and 256GB Ram and 8TB Hdd. Looking for steps to complete. I've downloaded the linked EFI folders

[@joelwisdom-peters5024]

I brought z640 because my MacBook broke, tempted to try this

[@mohamed_Sultan1504]

awesome

[@elilaird2454]

I think this is a great hackintosh I use this computer as my main system and it's great! Only thing that sucks is the cooler isn't the best for the Cpu I wonder if there is a better cooler that would work perfectly in this.

[@ashk3734]

try the coolermaster coolers, they work great.

[@memesyandhorrorshorts]

Same is it easy to hackintosh this z440 ? I've done it before but idk if it changed since but what version of Mac os are u running?

[@memesyandhorrorshorts]

​@@ashk3734 but the original cooler is 6 or 5 pin 😂 how are u going to connect a 3 or 4 pin cpu cooler to it 😂

[@ashk3734]

@@memesyandhorrorshorts dude, f it then, get a external fan you know😭🤣👍 what I mean

[@NoodlesTBograt]

Surprised it worked at all with the main power to the motherboard not seated correctly 15:45

[@averystech8218]

It was re-seated after the clip, it actually popped out

[@sozonpv]

How would this compare with a z4 12-core ?

[@Al5olasabyAndrew]

Hello I have z440 and i installed hackintosh sonoma successfully, but i wanna ask if i buy bluetooth usb and a wifi usb would i enable airdrop ? Or it’s hard for z440 to have airdrop on hackintosh ??

[@computerenthusiast402]

What version boot loader are you using ?

[@ayitiannfelansanm]

Good afternoon can you please me i have been fighting to set up a Hackintosh sonoma on a Z440 core i7 everything installed no problem except for my video card i can't get to work i am tired of trying its a NVIDIA gtx 1070 . I have followed all the tutorial to enabled it i have no luck it still said 8 mb of RAM please can you help \\\ Thanks

Didn’t expect to hear In the Car lmfao

[@averyplays7576]

Haha you are the 1% of people that actually recognize the song

[@oliebimbol7371]

I have a z440 with a 2666v3. It works but the turbo boost is disabled by default, does it work on yours ? Cheers

[@drg19841]

2 things. 1) make sure the chipset drivers are fully installed. They do not automatically install from windows. 2) check the bios. It's possible that turbo boost was disabled in the bios.

[@kabaFouji]

This EFI will work on P410 LENOVO, E5-2680V4 64GB DDR4, K4000 OR RX 560D , FOR SONOMA OR your recommended mac os. ? thx

[@LACARRETATACTIC]

WHICH PROCCESORS ARE COMPATIBLE WHITH THE HP 440 I CAN NOT FIND THE INFO

[@jr4scarelessyt242]

e5 16XX/26XX V3/4

[@BluebirdHH]

Hi, Where do I find the mentioned EFI from you? I would appreciate to get it as a basis.

@@averyplays7576 Thanks a lot!

[@averyplays7576]

@@BluebirdHH No problem, hope you can get it working!

[@pwestra123]

nice build, but ditch the Sandisk drive. You can by HP Turbo Drive G2 for cheap on e-bay, which gives you loads more throughput than a 6GBps Sata ssd.

[@mengshilim7364]

Does sleep mode work?

[@TDP808]

What gpu would be good to pair with this that isn’t bottlenecked? Used and less than 200.

[@drg19841]

Anything less than a 3070ti should be fine from Nvidia, and a 6800 from AMD. In my own system I have a 2060 and it matches up nicely, but there's definitely CPU headroom. Your biggest issue is going to be the PCIe 3.0 spec.

[@patrickwynne6666]

great video, i do have a HP Z440 with 1650 v3, can i change to 2696 v3 ??? .thanks

[@averyplays7576]

Yes, this is what im currently running in the Z440

[@patrickwynne6666]

@@averyplays7576 awesome!!!, thank you, i will gho and order that cpu. thanks again.

[@jaffo73]

Anyone able to help me get my Z440 Hackintosh working ?

[@averyplays7576]

What are you stuck on?

[@DeletedContent]

Will the E5--2697 V3 work on Z440?

[@averyplays7576]

It should

[@markjo254]

Such low benchmark scores. Is the ‘Mac Pro’ listed the 2x 6 core 5,1 cheesegrater, because that still seems to beat it?

[@averyplays7576]

2019 Mac Pro

[@rogerdewitt3042]

whoa that doesn't look like an X thermal paste looks more like he put a hex on that poor cpu, get a spatula and make it smooth like a cake iced fool

[@davebing11]

Very poor idea to allow ssd to 'float around'

[@NovvaOfficial]

It weighs a few oz’s and I’m sure he isn’t going to be mobile with a z440, lmao.

[@jonos138]

​@@NovvaOfficialI've got 2 floating in mine. 😅

[@rogerdewitt3042]

this guy got his arm in way half video, totally useless video can not see what going on. Redo your video delete this desaster

[@averyplays7576]

Thanks for the feedback Roger

[@toseltreps1101]

That google drive link is useless, it stripped out all the Kexts for example. Upload a ZIP of your EFI folder instead. Also DO NOT STRIP OUT SMBIOS/Model data other than you serial
