Hardware Compatibility

This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.

  • ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
  • Please add hardware into tables.
  • This is for 10.12.6 builds only.

For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

  • Sleep, Wake: works (in Clover only provide: darkwake=1 and dart=0)
  • Graphics: Dual Heading works (with GeForce 210, in Clover only provide: nvda_drv=1)
  • Graphics: Internal Graphics Intel HD630 deactivated (dual heading can't be made possible with acceptable investment of lifetime, I went for that GeForce 210 card instead: 40€!)
  • Hibernation: not tested yet
  • HDMI Sound: not tested yet
  • Audio: Realtek ALC1220 not installed (b/c of running RME AIO)
  • Remarks: Stable installation of Sierra 10.12.6. I had to read a few pages here and there (I would provide them, but it looks like, there is heavy word filter here in this wiki), but it was a lot more simple than my EP35DS3 10yrs ago, where I even set my DSDT. I had to replace the EB36 DS3 now, b/c of Ableton 10's requirements.

For some reasons far away from my imagination, this Wiki seems to block and censor certain words (products) from other sites as spam. When nameless2k and I started to work on EPOS and matching SlimBuilt-PreBoot disks for Snow Leopard ten years ago, this just wasn't the case. Sad, guys. Information should be free and know-how should never be censored!

1. Installation

  • created bootable pen drive with UnBeas (version 7.1.1)

  • Customize: (System Definitions): iMac 14,2
  • then click Build

2.2. Clover Configurator:

  • ACPI (Generate Options): Generate PStates, Generate States

USB IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b DWA-131 D-Link Realtek 8192cu There are several existing version of this device (A, B and E). I purchased mine this week (oct 2017) and it is a "E". OsX drivers are not on the included discs but available here : http://www.dlink.com/fr/fr/support/product/dwa-131-wireless-n-nano-usb-adapter. Procedure is : don't plug your device, install the driver, then plug your device in. The dongle is tiny (no ugly antenna) it is not too expensive and it works great.
