G4 Cube Hack - trial run

I recently picked up a working Power Mac G4 cube and then had the crazy idea to turn it into a Hackintosh. Since the internals were based on PowerPC, I had to gut it and retrofit a mini-itx board.
Asrock H370 ITX
I5 8400
16gb DDR4
256 M.2 SSD
12V DC to DC PSU
XBox One Power Supply (yep, I used an XBOX power supply)
.24mm Acrylic sheet
Cooling Fan (Extruder) 40x40x10mm DC 12V

The build was challenging. It took a few attempts to bend the acrylic when cutting and making the motherboard...

Hey guys.
I may be overlooking something, but I seem to only have *one* port on my mobo for "F_USB" which is, if I understand... a ... USB Header?

However, I've got two devices that require that port: one is my Thermal Take Riing Floe 240 cooling system/fan's RGB situation, another is some kind of LED situation in the front of the case for the HD LEDs or something.

There might actually be a third that I'm forgetting.

Anyway. Everything is running totally fine. I had just left things that...

Replaced Graphics Card, Now Doesn't Boot

Hi, first post here--

I was running a Hackintosh with High Sierra. My graphics card was XFX R9 280X TDF V3.0. Yesterday the GPU overheated and bit the dust, so I replaced it with an XFX R9 280X TDFD v2.4 GPU. I believed it to be the exact same thing, so I though my system would accept it and boot like normal.

Lo and behold, my computer won't boot. It gets to the apple logo, the bar fill about 1/3 of the way, then it reboots over and over. Can't boot in safe mode.

What is the process for...

So, I'm signed into icloud, everything overall seems to be working.

However, when trying to sign into imessage, I hear my HD do a little spin and then it drops back to the sign-in without going anywhere.

It should be noted: I am using my existing Apple ID to sign into icloud and everything.

Where do I go from here?

Mojav Bootable

Hi!

I was trying to set my current computer as a hackintosh, I did follow all the instruction and when UniBeast is done with the USB the computer doesn't seems to recognise it as a bootable usb, goes straight from selecting the USB with boot menu to loading my Windows partition.

Should I remove the Windows ssd in order to get it works ? Is this a problem having both ssd with different OS ?

(And yes before trying the Mojave USB I did apply necessary change to the motherboard)

Thanks

After I updated to Clover 4586 and could no longer boot up my computer, I was in a panic. I'm sure I wasn't the only one, and I'm sure there are still a number of others out there still trying to figure this out, so I felt a direct and easily-accessible thread was a good resort for anyone still struggling to get this figured out!

After searching myself to near-death for hours on-end, I finally found this amazing comment by @ukulele01 with a thorough explanation of how to...

F-USB on Designare Mobo --- only one, what to do with multiple things wanting that spot?

So, I only see only one "F-USB" spot on my Designare motherboard. However, I've got several things that want to go into it: there's at least the connector coming from my cooling unit (Floe Riing 240), and then also there's my bluetooth/wifi card situation, which has a connector that wants to go in there as well. I think there's another one but forgetting what it is at the moment: perhaps something to do with the LEDs on the front of the case for the HDDs and stuff?

Anyway. What do I do...

Clover won't boot MacOS after updating to v2.4k_r4920

Updated Clover with the Sourceforge installer. I checked it in Clover Configurator it said it hadn't updated (probably because I didn't restart) so I updated through that too.

After I restart the computer I can't boot into MacOS. I don't get any logo, just a restart after a couple of seconds back into Clover. Windows 10 boots fine.

I have dual boot on separate drives with Windows 10 and MacOS Mojave 10.14.3.

My NUC7 is the NUC7i7BNH, although I expect the guide will work on other similar models. Preliminary support for the NUC8 "Bean Canyon" has also been added.

I installed with 8GB RAM (one stick), and an SM951/AHCI M.2 SSD. Recommend two sticks in dual-channel.

Hello there,
I wanted to try to make a Hackintosh on this old pc of mine.

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.80GHz
4gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD5570

I have found few threads regarding HD5570 but most of them probably aren't answered or solved? Since the ones listed commonly were HD 5770.

Will I be able to make this pc into a Hackintosh?
If so what version do you guys recommend?

Thank you so much

So I have just finished my first build and I've run into a little problem. I am an Audio engineer and using a usb audio interface, my problem is that I am getting this constant popping and almost like static noise from the USB ports. The problem increases when I am running programs on my pc. I have tried all the different ports and still get the same result from each one. Anyone know if its a grounding issue or if its my audio drivers problem?
