Dual-Boot Snow White Hackintosh Pro Build Update & Walkthrough!

2013-04-20
hey tech fans welcome back once again a Tekkit of our I'm mark your host and we're here with buddy the dog our co-host now what are we doing well you guys all know we built the brand new wind lion totally custom white hackintosh / pc now this thing was a totally cool build but we had to actually make some initial changes to get it up and running and if my voice sounds like I have a frog I apologize I've been actually sick of the dog all week long and still doing these videos for you guys so check it out right off the bat when I was trying to build this thing the pcie from ocz the boot rod is going to use would not recognize the mac OS x at all so i couldn't get it to run with that whatsoever so i had to pull that thing out and we switch it out for an a data 128 gigabyte em SE 2dr which we partitioned in two different sections we used one for the mac OS and one for the windows so that's good to go we also had to change the video card the EVGA one that we were planning on using it actually would only work over on the Mac Pro for some reason could not get it to boot in the PC whatsoever so we gave up and I just got one from gigabyte that we had that we use another build that's the wind for sedition so we put that one in there everything's actually totally working great now this week we're just going to talk to you about some of the things that we did first of all how we overclocked it we overclock the CPU to 4.2 we just changed it very simply up the voltage ever so slightly we also set the XMP profile of the memory to 2133 so what's running faster than hell actually we really increase our geekbench score man it went from 13 802 over 16 k in scoring which is actually amazing just from a simple couple changes because a lot of people when they build their systems they don't overclock it at all and a lot of times forget to set the XMP memory profile but we show you how doing that really makes a system kick more ass another thing that we had just a slight problem with i'll call it a wee problem i won't call it a total problem it's the audio now inside we're running Windows 7 absolutely no problems whatsoever but once we did all the drivers and this makes no sense whatsoever by the way you're going to agree makes no sense remember there are two different partitions but as soon as we install all the drivers on to the PC sooner we start the computer back up in the macworld we got audio but it only came out of the rear audio jack so we went out we bought this new force really cool headphone amp really small thing sounds great it's USB works in both absolutely flawlessly and hey it's actually a really great headphone amp so if you got some really you know hi um headphones you want to listen to it this thing actually kick some ass anyways from what I've read them from what I've heard it seems like most hackintosh users actually prefer to use an external audio source USB seems to be very popular also if you guys would like to pick one up you guys can see that right below that like button which I know you're going to hit and you can pick one up for yourself now as far as media goes and storage check this out we used a pair of kingston hyperx 3k 480 gigabyte SSD s14 the scratch for the mac one for the scratch for the pc and as far as the media storage goes we took a single two terabyte drive split it in half so that each system had one terabyte of media drive now I know I see a lot of people like they made a lot of negative comments about the thermaltake level 10 GT I don't know why guys because I dig it for one thing all of my drive bays are right here very simple once you do the wiring the case anytime you want to change any drives do anything add or subtract anything it's all right here and if your motherboard has hot swap ability hey it's even better you guys all know I use the gigabyte that's the z77 ex UD 5h that's a really good motherboard it's like one of the highest recommended for building heck anti systems and the reason you're able to do this is this particular motherboard has a dual BIOS system which allows you to not have to use the DS DT to boot up your system now I know a lot of you other guys we're asking about the key thing about turning it and I initially wanted to do that as a hardware mob but it ended up that we just didn't have to do that whatsoever now when you first put the system up if you don't touch anything at all it automatically boots into OS X 10.8 point three mountain lion but if you want you can hit the Nek most of you guys have the any key on your computer don't you where is the any key and once you hit that any case you gave an option of choosing whatever OS you want to do simply by scrolling through as you can see here you can boot easily into windows 7 or easily into the mac OS very simply easy dual boot system it rocks we'll bring you guys another update next week is we actually compare all the scores against other machines and then we'll jump into the pc side of things and see how this thing kicks ass in gaming so me and buddy will see you later make sure you hit that like button and I was laughing some guy goes oh man he's all it's not fair if you say that you're gonna make buddy the dog sad if we don't hit the like are you serious come on we're like just joking around here man we preach it you hit the like button and no we do not make money off you hitting the like button are you kidding me we like interaction with you folks that's why we kick down you guys why would you 100k system why we're giving you guys stuff some of you guys got no sense of humor but hey me and buddy the dog we're off to do some kung fu fight alright and one last thing folks before me and Buddy hop out of here make sure you guys check out the surprise deal of the day in the lake of the description below see ya
