🖥️ This video is a continuation of my master class on building a computer for Windows/Mac Hackintosh.
I talk about
- The Intel 13/14 CPU issue and try to approach the situation and help people overcome fear
- Updating to BIOS with Intel fixes (0x129 Microcode)
- Adjusting BIOS based on this thread: [ Ссылка ] to achieve lower power/temps/voltages, while keeping performance nearly unaffected
- BIOS settings important for Sonoma
- Creating Windows 11 USB Installer
- Installing Windows 11
- Updating drivers
A lot to cover!

For this computer build, knowing I need the computer to work on Windows 11 or Mac Sonoma, recipe 🍲 is:
📺*Asus Z790 ProArt Creator Wifi* - [ Ссылка ] - fantastic motherboard with great dual GPU support, thunderbolt 4, tons of connectivity options
*Intel 14700K* - [ Ссылка ] - don’t worry about all the Intel fear spreading - I show you in how to set BIOS to achieve better stability
*AMD 6950 XT Red Devil GPU* - [ Ссылка ] - Not the latest/greatest, but excellent GPU and current best GPU that will work on a custom Mac/Hack
*G.Skill Trident Z5 2x32 GB DDR5 6400 Memory* - [ Ссылка ] - on Asus Qualified Vendor List (QVL)
*Western Digital SN850X NVMe SSDs* - [ Ссылка ] - tried and true for Hackintosh
*Samsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD* - [ Ссылка ] - also among the best NVME SSDs in terms of stability/performance/price on the market
*Samsung T9 Shield USB SSD* - [ Ссылка ] - super reputable, fast external USB SSD
*Western Digital EasyStore 5 TB, and 8 TB* - [ Ссылка ] - reputable USB HDD solutions for backup
*Thermalright Phantom Spirit Evo 120 Cooler* - [ Ссылка ] - Known as best air cooler out there, especially when paired with an awesome case… like the…
*Fractal Torrent RGB Case* -[ Ссылка ] - A legend, one of the best cases you can find
*Corsair RM1000X Power Supply* - [ Ссылка ] - Rock solid PSU, as Corsair continues its hugely successful and well performing RMX PSU line
*Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste* - [ Ссылка ] - known to help get a little bit of extra thermal performance out of your system
*Thermalright CPU Contact Frame* - [ Ссылка ] - a tried and true contact frame replacement that is known to help get a little better cooling performance for Intel 13/14 Generation CPUs

I go into ludicrous detail - don’t expect YouTube shorts from me! - so that inexperienced people can follow and get up and running. Every step is fully explained, including important settings in 0x129 Microcode-fixed BIOS’s to make your Intel 13/14 Gen CPU working at lower power/temps/voltage and performance similar to default Asus Enhanced OC settings. Also some important nuances in BIOS needed for Mac Sonoma to work. As well as going through full Windows 11 install including ensuring all required drivers are automatically updated.
So get ready, find some time, and enjoy this detailed guide on building a fairly high end computer for Windows or Mac that will rock in music production, video editing, as well as 3D content creation.
