DAW Hackintosh Build!
Just recently finished a new DAW hackintosh build for Music Production (with Logic X) and Video & Photo editing (with Adobe Photoshop & Premiere).
Specs OS - MacOSX El Capitan 10.11.3 CPU - Core i7 4970K 4GHZ Ram - 16 GB DDR3 Motherboard - Gigabyte Z97Z Gaming 3 Graphics Card - NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB Storage - 1 x 512 Crucial SSD 1x Samsung 256GB SSD 1 x 1TB Western Digital HDD Cooling - Cosair H105 Watercooler Case - NZXT H440
I followed the basic guide on Tonysmacx86 for installing El Capitan.
Then I ran multibeast to install fakeSMC + plugins & ALC1150 audio (though I'm using an Apogee Duet 2 as my audio interface)
I installed the NVIDIA Web driver for the GTX 970
After I used clover configurator to;
- Boot from the OS SSD automatically
- SMBIOS for iMac 14,2 (This was needed for my GTX 970 to work, even with the NVIDIA web driver)
I followed Tonysmac guide to generate an SSDT for my CPU power states.
System is now running beautifully, and it's probably the fastest OSX system I've ever used!
