Aight, I doubt there are many Alienware x51 users on here, but just in case you might find this useful, I have some nice tips here. I personally use an x51 R1, but it should work exactly the same on R2.
Read the entire guide before attempting this
Dual Booting Note
If you want to dual boot with windows, first install windows, then pre-prepare a second partition on which you will install OS X, doesn't matter what file system it is.
Stage 1: Installation
Now installation is really easy here, no issues should be had, I recommend using unibeast method, for that you need to prepare a unibeast memory stick. I will not guide you through that as it can be a pain and is universal; google it. * Boot from memory stick and choose to boot from mavericks install
Choose your language
At the top press Utilities then Disk Utility
If dual booting Press the pre-prepared partition, go to erase, and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then erase
If mac only Press Partition tab, click current and change it to one partition, click options and choose GUID partition method, name it whatever and make format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then partition
Close disk utility, then follow the steps of the installer selecting your mac partition
Once installation completes, reboot and leave your unibeast memory stick in
From the unibeast menu, select your new OS X install, Don't press enter
Type: GraphicsEnabler=Yes
Press enter
After a while your OS X should boot
Stage 2: Post-install
- Ethernet should work out-the box, wifi probably not
- Download multibeast Put this on your memory stick before the install in case your internet does not work
- Run multibeast
- From quick start select DSDT Free
- Drivers>Audio>Realtek ALCxxx>Without DSDT>Optional 3 port audio enabler
- From Disk select 3rd party SATA
- Nothing from graphics
- From misc select:
- ElliottForceLegacyRCT
- EvOReboot
- FakeSMC
- NullCPUPowerManagement
- USB 3.0 - Universal
- From bootloaders select the latest chimera
- Customize>Boot Options> The following:
- Basic Boot Options
- GraphicsEnabler=Yes
- From SSDT pick appropriate for your system
- Pick any system definition
- Pick any theme
- Go onto build and press install Your PC should now reboot without the unibeast memory stick! Just a few more things:
- Download this and this
- For the .kext file, open it with kext wizard, a program that should already be there
- Run the other program then restart
Your hackintosh is now set up
Everything should work now, comment on this if otherwise, I'll try to help since I'm somewhat of a veteran with hackintosh, happy hackintoshing and good luck!
