Fellow 2008 MacBook (Pro) owner here in essentially the same situation. I also happen to be lucky enough to be borrowing a 2012 Mac mini. However, my Hackintosh journey started in the Lion era and my MacBook also proved very handy while dealing with Windows 10!

I just got my MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Armor 8G OC today and while it's working fine in Windows 10, my reason for posting is to share my experience of how it operates in El Capitan (v10.11.6). I have a UHD monitor plugged in via DisplayPort as the primary and a HDMI monitor plugged in as the...

That appears to be the case since a 2010 Mac Pro is defined as MacPro5,1. Now whether this means everyone has to go with this or another definition remains to be seen. I personally used MacPro5,1 on my very first Hackintosh, but it required a lot of editing of some Mac OS files which got...

Yes, it's amazing how well the MacPro3,1 system definition works on so many different Hackintosh hardware mixes.

My update experience was an odd combination of bad and good luck. The bad luck started when I noticed a rather odd and enormously slow response from my Hackintosh while downloading the v10.11.4 update. To further emphasize how wrong things were going, I was able to download AND apply the same...

After all the effort that's been put into making the icons look 3D(ish)...

It's a hell of an upgrade from my GTX 780, but the $1000 price isn't something to be taken lightly.

While I haven't done a lot of testing, I do get a memory allocation error if Generate P and C States are used in "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" with an overlocked setup. It doesn't seem to matter what the specific settings are.

I'm not sure if this will help, but on my overclocked dual boot setup, I can run the default Prime95 torture test for 13+ hours on Windows 8.1 and that Generate P and C States is a no go; it prevents Yosemite from booting at all.

Well, it looks like my speculation about desktop sized Retina monitors that I made two years ago is becoming true. I'm not sure if I'll be buying one of these new Macs since I'm (more) looking forward to something like Dell's Ultrasharp 27" 5K monitor. That will most likely mean having to buy...

I use the same CPU and mobo as you, but there are some differences: GTX 780 video card 16 (2x8) GB of Corsair DDR3 RAM I'm using UEFI vF9 and Mavericks 10.9.5, so it could be considered a test since the OS update has only been available for a day. But so far, no freezes that I can attribute to...

While I can't be absolutely certain about ALL of the listed motherboards, I am absolutely certain about the GA-Z87X-UD5H being unable to update the UEFI from F8 to F9 via the Q-Flash utility. I had to do it via the @BIOS utility, which meant booting up Windows first.

Obviously, I'm not the only one that didn't want to wait for the new Mac Pro to become available, but I decided on a Corsair 650D case and went from there. :lol:

I'd say the easiest prediction to make is that there will be an OS 10.9.2. :D Perhaps Apple will make a new iMac or Mac Mini (in whatever form factor) that uses flash storage since that's what the rest of their Mac product line has switched to for built-in/out of the box primary storage. I'll...

I have what's essentially the "opposite" problem: my Hackintosh doesn't STAY in sleep mode, it wakes up within a few seconds (although the monitor stays in sleep mode and I can simply press a key to login).

Try disabling Wake on LAN in the UEFI. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I found something of interest. The following discussion thread doesn't specifically mention Haswell, but since we're using a very iMac like setup, I think it's worth a look...

The one for ALC898 in MultiBeast of course.

I have a very similar setup to yours and was wondering about this: does the iMac 14,2 profile work better for audio? I'm using the default MacPro 3,1 profile and if I use the audio long enough (perhaps within half an hour) for anything (games, various online videos, etc.) it eventually gets...

I have the EVGA 03G-P4-2781-KR, so I guess that's why LuxMark works for me (and I imagine other OpenCL apps will too). I don't know if I'll be making another Hackintosh anytime soon, but I'd rather know what to look out for than buy something that'll cause frustrations. But knowing that...

I also share your concerns, but I'm curious as to which apps you've encountered these crashes with. The only experience I have with OpenCL on Mavericks with a GTX 780 is LuxMark v2.1 and I've not had any crashes.
