This is my first hackintosh and my first build. I saw that the Azus Z170X - A is on the list of compatible mobos but I've also read that there can be problems getting the sound and ethernet network to work. Do you think I might run into these problems too or has this been fixed? If I do, it looks like they can be sorted out. Hopefully it's not too difficult. I've also read that the PSU and CPU cooler will not cause problems with OSX (which makes sense to me). Can someone confirm that this is true? I also read that the AZUS STRIX GeForce GTX 960 will work fine. I feel like I've done a lot of research but please let me know if I'm missing something. I plan to dual boot El. Capitan and Windows 10. I plan to use the SATA SSD for OSX and the M.2 SSD for Windows. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
