Few weeks ago I introduced in my video real ultimate hackintosh build for year 2019, real
14-core iMac Pro killer.
That build had huge success.
And I did some further updates to it and in this video you will find additional useful
information and tips how to increase already great performance.

Last week I posted updated Geekbench scores of my brand new another hackintosh build based
on same components, which were really impressive and lot of people asked me, how to achieve that?! :)
And I will tell you in this video, how to get the same results, so let’s have a look at it
As you can see I’m running the Intel Core i9-9900k paired with great memory I recommend
the HyperX running at stock 3600 MHz.
Important note, this build is not overclocked!
Again, yes, no overclock, this build is running at stock settings, stock voltages, stock everything.
So let’s run the benchmark and see yourself what a great results I get from it.
6862 single core performance and 40238 multicore score.
Just for fun let’s compare these scores with other Intel CPUs.
So my single core performance is on top of the chart :) And my multicore score is right
between two 14-core CPUs, the i9-7940x and i9-9940x, which costs quite 3 times more then
my i9-9900k :) So how can you ! also get the same performance?
First you need of course the Intel Core i9-9900k :) and by my opinion best motherboard for
Hackintosh, the Gigabyte Z390 Designare with native Thunderbolt 3 onboard.
And the memory I use, or better :) BTW links to all of that you can find now in my video
description if you still don’t have it.
This i9 CPUs currently on the market have two revisions, P0 and R0.
P0 works on this motherboard from BIOS version F3, but the newer one have support in BIOS
from version F6.
So if you have already new CPU and you plan to buy this motherboard, make sure it has
already newest BIOS or ask your seller to update it.
I recommended in the past to everybody to stay at the F5 BIOS version, which worked
the best.
But with that new CPU revision I had to test again latest F6 BIOS.
Newest current version is F6_n which you can find also in this video description.
Previous versions did not allow you easily use the full potencial of this 3600 MHz memory.
Now you can.
So you need the CPU, this motherboard and this memory.
What else?
You need my already prepared and tweaked EFI folder for this build with Vega GPU.
I use the latest macOS version, which is at the date of shooting of this video macOS Mojave 10.14.5.
And the last step, but mandatory and very important is? - correct BIOS settings!
Lot of people still think tweaked EFI is all they need.
No, you need also to set correctly your BIOS :) And as I always say “I cannot make it
easier for people”, in this video description you can find also prepared BIOS preset for
the F6_n BIOS version with all neccessary settings prefilled, so all you have to do
is to just load this profile in your BIOS, save the BIOS and reboot.
That’s all :) So on this hardware you can easily achieve those amazing results too without
any overclocking, which I don’t recommend by the way - it’s not worth the much higher
power consumption, lot more heat, need for better colling system and shorten lifespan
of your components.
Just update your BIOS to version F6_n, download my tweaked EFI and the BIOS preset which is
all free for my supporters and enjoy your increased performance of your ultimate Hackintosh
build :) So I hope I made your day again little better,
