#CDOCK 10.8.5 MAC OS#
The Chimera version is the most current one available and I boot from the drive with Mac OS installed on it.
#CDOCK 10.8.5 DRIVERS#
The ‘Real’ apple drivers may be an option, but I haven’t tested them.
#CDOCK 10.8.5 DRIVER#
The Disk selection is a personal preference (normal disk icons and I’m not using the GSATA connectors.) Using Lnx2’s driver for networking may or may not be necessary, but it seems to be working fine. The Audio selection is driven by the fact my board has an ALC889a audio codec. The user DSDT is the one I used with Mavericks and works with 10.10 Yosemite.

#CDOCK 10.8.5 INSTALL#
At the Chimera boot screen select Yosemite (or whatever you named the install disk) and enter the same “IGPEnabler=No nv_disable=1” boot flags, then select your installed OS. Again use an F key (F12) to select USB-HDD as your boot device.
After the install completes, the installer will reboot your computer. I did not test the Display Port nor HDMI connectors during the install. Only the DVI-I video port was functional during the install. I used a wired USB mouse during the install. IGPEnabler=No nv_disable=1The IGPEnabler is required until MultiBeast is run and the nv_disable until the Nvidia drivers are installed. In Step 4 (Install OS X Yosemite) item 4, I used boot options of:. Once I had everything prepped, I installed the video card prior to starting the OS install. In Step 3 (Recommended BIOS Settings) Use the Gigabyte AWARD BIOS instructions to check your BIOS settings before starting the install. Also drag your DSDT file and the Nvidia WebDriver installer to your USB drive as well. The last item in Step 2 is to drag MultiBeast to your completed USB drive. In Step 2 (Create a Bootable USB Drive) item 18, select “Legacy USB Support”. This is for the same reason as the Nvidia drivers, sketchy video will make finding things on the Internet difficult. Note for other motherboards: If you need to install anything else in order to boot your Hackintosh with working networking, download it before you start and place it on the USB drive. You will have sketchy video output (at least I did) until you have the Nvidia drivers installed and working, so accessing the Internet to download things will be problematic. I have found a maintained list of the versions drivers. I suggest downloading the current Nvidia WebDriver before you begin as well. In Step 0 (Before You Begin) in addition to MultiBeast and UniBeast download from the DSDT database the DSDT file appropriate to your motherboard (if you don’t have a copy from a prior install.) I used the one I had previously downloaded for the Mavericks install. At one point, I had an old note with the wrong version written down. Reboot your computer and make note of your Firmware version before using or downloading a DSDT file. Use the tonymac guide to create your bootable USB drive and perform the install. I have 2 DVI monitors and did not test the Display Port nor HDMI connectors during the install. The actual install of the video drivers onto a working and updated Mavericks OS was straight forward and instructions are at the end of this.ĭuring POST and the install process only the DVI-I connector worked for me. Instructions are in this guide.Įven though I had Mavericks installed, I performed a clean install to a spare Hard Drive to test disaster recovery with only the GTX 970 installed. There is an edit required to have the graphics drivers and sleep work correctly. Due to the video card, this was more complicated install than the typical Yosemite OS install.
