More of this. This is what differentiates your channel. It's nice to have gadgets and eye candy gadgets, but adding value to the channel. How to build. How to code. How to learn. Advice advice. Thank you Aivars.
Manu thanks for feedback and support. I appreciate that!
you are one of the most authentic people I have seen on youtube. keep it up!
Thank you! I'm just being myself and getting fun playing with video and communicating with all you here :)
@@AivarsMeijers greetings from munich/germany
What a beast build! I'm waiting for comparison with MacBook :D
Yeah, it's great. Will do side by side tests eventually
Your workplace is magical
Thanks! I tried to make it nice and comfortable
Thanks for a super good video.
You talk like an adult and in an intelligent way. Some should learn from you
Has been incredibly interested in building a Hackintosh.
I work with 3D animation
Since Apple released M1 hackintosh building is less attractive. M1 offered great performance for affordable price.
Sure if beefy video card or lot of ram is needed, then Hackintosh still is nice way to go, but interesting what Apple will release in this year. Probably there will be good products for that niche as well.
Thank you for your videos!
I did similar way to your's recently: Mac Pro 5.1 + PCI m.2 SSD and Mac Book Pro 13(2017).
It is great to have powerful machine and small portable notebook!.
Thanks for sharing! I will get small ARM MacBook as soon as they will be around
the only reason i allow youtube notifications on my phone is your channel. My phone's notifications looks dirty but it was worth it :)
Wow! Appreciate that. Thank you! :)
Correction. Nvidia is comptible up to High Sierra. If you want software that is 32-Bit and 64 bit, then use High Sierra and your NVidias up to the GTX 10 series is compatible
That's right if you are ready to use oldish Nvidia Cards and outdated macOS versions.
Keep in mind that you will be not able to use the latest Xcode versions on that machine. If iOS development is in the scope for that Hackintosh build, then High Sierra is not an option. For Final Cut Pro updates you will need Catalina as well, so I do not see any point in using High Sierra today.
@@AivarsMeijers I have both, Radeons and 10 series cards mac. 1080, and 1080 tis still great for mac. Also, If you have 32 bit apps, no need to move higher that High Sierra for now
@@JoTokutora Xcode and Final Cut Pro are the main apps for me, so no way to stay behind the updates.
I used 1080 in eGPU on High Sierra. It was ok, but now I gave it away and updated GPU to RX5700XT in hackintosh. Agree that 1080 is still ok, but if you are looking for high performance, AMD has better options for Hackintosh and they are supported in actual macOS versions as well
Is that 49 super ultra wide not too big ? I changing my 32" 4k to a 34 ultrawide from Dell, these 49 super ultra wide are extremely expensive in my country. But I always wanted to use then
What monitor are you using and what resolution/hz is it running? Is there a limit with hackintosh that they can't for example run 144hz and 4k?
I have 60Mhz monitors only. One is 24" 4K another one 49" 5120x1440. There is no limitations for it, but for sure depends what video card will you use.
@@AivarsMeijers Thanks for the reply! Very helpful with the video, I'm in your boat now after my graphics card on my 2012 imac gave up, haven't built a pc ever but I'm kinda done with enclosed computers from apple since you can't even clean them let alone upgrade them, sad that hackintosh will die eventually as well after the arm chips but until then I guess we have no other choice if we want to run macOS and have a modular computer without paying 6000$+
@@boyananakiev4896 Intel Mac and Hackintosh will be around for the next 4+ years. I don't think Apple will drop support earlier, so we still safe for a while
Super helpful video!! Thanks Aivars!
Glad you liked it!!
Hey Aivars a lot of developers faced the same kind of problem as you did, I use the same Model too and it heats up a lot while charging and running all my programs. I'm worried that I may face the same problem too
Yeh, my 16" MBP was in repair twice already. That's not normal for sure :(
@@tommuc442 wow, that's not good at all
@@AivarsMeijers we have 2 mbp 16" for about 3 months as a replacement for 2017 15" models and had noticed this effect as soon as an external monitor was connected. but it seems to depend on the monitor - here on my eizo 32" 4k it works without problems. without external monitor everything is fine anyway.
@@tommuc442 sadly but seems that quality is going down :(
One more reason to stick with Hackintosh + cheaper MBP. Sure that's not an option for corporations
@@AivarsMeijerswe are no apple fanboys but i think quality and price is still much better than the competition. i just sold a 10 year old 27" cinema display for 500 euro and also for the 3 year old macbooks we got 1300 euro each. but hey we took a similar approach like you with your hackintosch :) since we mainly do cad (solidworks) with a lot of rendering (maxwell) we work almost exclusively on macpro. and since you don't know at the moment what comes with arm and the 2019 one is very expensive we for now just upgraded our six old 2009 4.1 for small money.1000 euro per unit: 12core 96gb ram amd wx7100 8gb vram usb 3.2 all samsung ssd.
For local network you could remote in with nomachine to use the desktop, nomachine is very low latency so it should`t feel like a different machine.
Thank You for the second hackintosh video. I have a followup question. As a Unreal Engine game dev/artist all I need is MacOS for is making builds for mobile (bcoz of AR Kit) otherwise I can make builds straight from Win10. What would you recommend :? Creating Hackintosh, using some cloud service, maybe there is some other option (other than buying Mac ;) ) And in the first video I understood , You've differentiate installing MacOS on regular PC and building Hackintosh. Did I understood You right , those are two separate things ? Any advice for my simple "build" needs would be highly appreciated
Hackintosh is "installing macOS on PC". There is just a list of no-go PC parts. For example - nvidia GPUs
You have to read a lot if you like to get Hackintosh running with zero knowledge. I could suggest you to start from OpenCore documentation: dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
Building in cloud may be more time effective for you
Keep going, very good content. I really want to build a hackintosh too.
Thank you :)
It's a really fun project to do.
Nice useful video, thanks man!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Hi Aivars. Do you think hackintosh is still a good idea now that we're in the new ARM generation of Macs?
I don't think it worth it with current price/performance of current M series chips.
If your work is in macOS get whatever M1 ... M3 fits your budget and you will be happy to use it.
If you are working mostly in win or Linux OS and need macOS just once in a while, then Hackintosh still may make sense.
Awesome@@AivarsMeijers. Thanks.
7:15 LOL, awesome..
I've got a question about upgrading hackintosh hardware. Currently I am running a Catalina build with a gigabyte z390 m gaming, intel i5 9600k, red devil rx 5700 xt. Everything is running fine. Cyber Monday I bought the i9 9900k. Do you have experience with upgrading your CPU to your current Hackintosh build? Do I need to change anything in smbios before or after swaping the CPU?
hey! Congrats on the upgrade! I don't have such experience with processor upgrades. If processors are from the same generation probably you will be fine with just swapping hardware.
I would google first if can find a post about that. For GPU I updated config with one additional boot argument and that was it.
Hello from Colombia. Amazing vids.. 👍
Cheers 👍
Can I copy the see through case? If so link pls 😁
But, due to recent apple's announcements ( about the processor architecture changes ), will it be possible to maintain a hackintosh in the near future?
I already answered this in my first Hackintosh video: czcams.com/video/P09FJfy9N0w/video.html
can you run xcode project on mobile device with a hackintosh?
Yes, that works just fine.
Aivars Meijers no issues whatsoever when it comes to signing?
@@chuddywarrior7996 Nope, seems fine. I didn't released any update yet, but generated certificates from this machine to install the app on the device.
Great nice to know, since i was previously told that xcode wont let you run on a device if your running hackintosh.
Hi sir is there any scope in ios freelancing
Hi Aivars,
I have been interested in looking into hackintosh, I have a few questions below, also I maybe will be doing it after some of the new hardware gets launched, could I ask question on the comment thread or DM, if I have any general questions?
1. Do you need to make a separate iCloud account from your own Mac, incase Apple will not allow it?
2. How do you store local files, incase the computer has a kernel panic (or just has some problem), how do you store the data?
Hi Arvin
I'm trying to answer all the comments, but you can catch me on Twitter or Instagram as well and DM there also
1. I saw no problems to upload and publish iOS apps from Hackintosh, so I guess no need for another account.
2. I have multiple levels of backups + USB drive with a copy for EFI partition, so I can get it back and running in a short time. Here is my backup strategy video: czcams.com/video/OVcuaswBsYw/video.html
@@AivarsMeijers great, thank you for the replies, I will get back through DM if I have any questions, I am not building one for a little bit as new hardware is on the horizon but when I do, I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks :)
Great video!
As a programer on a budget this is amazing
Glad you enjoyed it
I also want to build a hackintosh, I am also a developer. A lot of servers are constantly raised locally, many windows are open, and many tabs in browser in the same tine, and my Mac cannot cope. But I also use 4 4k monitors. Tell me who knows if it will work comfortably on such a system as in video (only with rx5700xt) on 4 4k monitors
My Hackintosh with RX5700XT running 24"4K + 49" 5120x1440 screens without problems. I didn't test it with more screens but do not see why GPU couldn't handle 4 x, 4K monitors. There are 3x Display ports + 1 HDMI
@@AivarsMeijers Thank you for reply 🙂
i run a local docker container on mine. 😀 its a beast.
Can you help me building a hackintosh? I'll pay you 😅
Can you develop for iOS on the hackintosh?
Yes, you can. I'm doing iOS development on the Hackintosh
@@AivarsMeijers great! Thanks!
No more mbp 16 for developing?
It will be around to work from couch or during the trips, but not as main machine anymore
Is MacOS any good on a virtual machine?
Hard to say, didn't try for a while. About 7 years back it was challenging to install and quite slow to use
yooohooo
High five notification fam 🙌 :)
Hackintosh Needs Hardcore Patience And Courage🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was kind of easy ride for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3:26 - "Новый Год" - xDDDDD
:D yep, it feels so
Aivars i write you in mail u don’t answer(
Done. I'm receiving a lot of emails, sorry :)
Your code is not fengshui anymore if you are coding on hackintosh :)
:D yeh, you probably right. I hope after delivering to the iPhone trough AppStore it will become fengshui and even cosher again ;)
