Advice on Hackintosh GA-Z270X-Gaming 9 + 1080Ti
Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2017 12:23 pm
Hi all,
I am planning to build a Hackintosh for Resolve. After several discussion with some French hackintosh specialists, here is a configuration that I'm thinking about. But before going anyfurther, I was wondering if anyone has already built such hack or if you'd have some advice or recommendation. As I am a Mac guy and I am entering in a strange world…
• Motherboard Gigabyte AORUS - GA-Z270X-Gaming 9
It is expensive but has 4 16x PCIe slots.
(With 1 card : 16x, with 2 cards : 16x, 16x, with 3 cards : 16x, 16x, 8x, with 4 cards : 8x, 8x, 8x, 8x)
Wich is fine for 2 gpu + DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G.
Has already built a Resolve hack with this moterboard ?
• PC box Be Quiet Dark Base PRO 900 Noir
Expensive but with a good fan system
• CPU Intel Core i7 7700K
Kaby Lake 4 at 4,2 GHz
• CPU Fan Be Quiet Dark Rock 3
As I am not too secure about watercooling
• RAM Vengeance LED RED DDR4 4 x 16 Go 3000 MHz CAS 15
It should be fine.
• HD System Samsung SSD Serie 960 PRO M.2 PCIe NVMe - 512 Go
For MacOs. But I'm thinking about adding a Samsung SSD Serie 960 EVO M.2 PCIe NVMe - 250 Go with a Win 10 boot, in order to install or update some piece of hardware and even use Resolve
• GPU MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X - 11 Go x2
The package sold by MSI seems to have a good fan system but if anyone can recomend some other build…
• DD Seagate BarraCuda 3 To x4
In order to set a Raid 5 with SoftRAID
• Power supply Corsair HX1200 - 1200W
It's a lot but I want to be able to add 3rd 1080 Ti if needed or to be ready for the forthcoming GPU generations.
• BD Burner Asus Bluray Burner - BW-16D1HT/BLK/G/AS Black
In order to toast !
• USB Keyboard Apple extended keyboard with numeric keypad
On piece of Apple hardware at last!
• USB mouse Razer Mamba Tournament Edition
For the 9 buttons!
• USB KeyCorsair Flash Voyager USB 3.0 16 Go
To install the hack
I know this kind of build is not mendatory for BM but I see more and more working hackintosh in grading rooms.
Please, any comment is welcome!
Thanks
