32 Comments on Hackintosh: GTX 1080 Ti + 4.6 GHz i7 = Quiet, but mighty!

1. Nice build. Let us know if you are able to get Message to work and what features do not work as compared to stock apple.

   • Jim Martin Thats one of the things i hear that makes me dont even bother.
     Also i’ve hear a lot of programs on MacOS dont work very well on Nvidia cuz they are not optimize for Nvidia on MacOS….. idk much about that.

   • PowerhousePR I built a hackintosh last year with older Nvidia GeForce gtx 460 and it work okay with Nvidia’s OS X web drivers. However I can’t get message to work due to non compatibility of bluetooth/WiFi setup

2. i hate that Apple doesn’t support games as much as windows, if not i would had a mac for years now!

   • Jason well cuz mac is more professionalism an more for adults they are trying to keep their elegant image for like business an for Hollywood I don’t blame them gotta keep apple clean an elegant

   • 2 words: XBox …I long ago (dating myself: 1990s) tired of messing with the latest greatest graphics cards, Windows, drivers, incompatibilities, noisy tower PCs, yada yada… use a MacBook or iMac as a general purpose computer; use an XBox (sure, go ahead and substitute Playstation) for gaming. Life is good (better).

   • allierogers Or just build a Windows PC that does both?

   • @CC …of course you can build a PC but as I indicated, I long ago tired with “messing” with it constantly… I prefer to just turn on my MacBook or XBox and get on with it… if you enjoy the process of building, rebuilding, configuring, reconfiguring, upgrading, fixing, etc. then, by all means, go for it and enjoy.

   • Well with hackintosh the possibilities is endless. Plenty of people run a dual boot windows/linux or a mac/windows setup on the same PC. There a lot of people who don’t like windows and like to do things on Linux, and they only use windows to game on.

3. awesome build , cant wait for the tutorial

4. Technically illegal now right?

   • Not just technically, actually illegal, yes. As all Hackintoshs are.

   • Michael Garry it’s legal 🙂

5. I am a simple man. I hear Jeff’s beautiful voice, I click like. Also, pin for no reason?

   • Yes, his voice is the biggest asset to this channel. It’s tailor-made for most of us refined subscribers.

6. Well, of course, we want an entire tutorial and then some on this new venture of yours. Also, after owning my first non-iOS Apple product (brand new 2015 MB Pro) for 10 weeks now, I can honestly admit to preferring a purely Apple made PC over a Hackintosh….for now. You, sir, had a heap to do with me finally taking the Mac plunge; thanks to your pleasant and informative Apple oriented overviews & reviews.

   You’re a huge credit to YouTube techdom!

7. Ayy I have the same mobo!

8. Since this is a Hackintosh, does the Apple wireless keyboard and touchpad work?

   • yes you can get them to work with a non apple product as well because there just using bluetooth

   • Last time I did a Hackintosh was in 2008 on an MSI netbook. Peripherals worked but not fully functional. Macbook Pro with Touchbar is BS IMHO. Could have used those resources to ramp up graphics and other I/O.

   • +Ed Lim yes

9. That cable management screams mac user.

10. Replacae GPU WITH AMD RX480 and check BruceX.

11. Cable management looks a mess

12. why not use EL Capitan?

13. does imessage, facetime and continuity work on this hackintosh?

14. This is really cool!

15. Hackintosh FTW ! Using it for like 2-3 years… amazing.

16. Any ETA on when the full tutorial will be uploaded?

17. how does it game? esport titles,

18. Cost half of Macintosh preform double of Macintosh 😉

19. Hide the serial number dude
