The Unibeast worked well for me. Never tried the Niresh one.
Mine is working pretty good even if i'm scared to update from El Capitan to Sierra.
I have issues with some Adobe products, having kernel panics when launching them so I just tried with older versions and it worked.
Good luck anon

depends. what problems do you have? and did you try to boot with -x -v

Also does anyone know if 290x works with Sierra?

Im using a gigabyte ga-z170x motherboard , intel processor with an nvidia gtx 970 graphics card. I'm pretty sure I meet all the requirements and I got up to the apple logo but it doesn't progress bar doesn't move which is where I'm stuck at.

I tried the UEFI boot but I'm gonna switch to see if the legacy boot works.

It's not really a choice, I need xcode and emulating osx is the definition of aweful.

I purchased a Nvidia GTX 680 video card for my 4,1 Mac Pro. On the card there are 6-pin and 8-pin ports. I am confused as to exactly what sort of power cables to purchase. Am I to buy this?

Are you sure your bios settings are 100% correct with regards to the guide you're following on tonymac? Bios settings can make a difference.

I would also consider using Yosemite or an older version of OS X, if you continue to have problems. I've ran a hackintosh in various hardware configs since 2012 and el cap has been the most difficult to install and the least stable by far.

Have fun with your broken shit, not sure why you people think the troubles are worth it.

Also, have you searched the tonymac forum using the model number of your mobo as the search term to see what setting others have used?

I would also try installing with the graphics card removed and see if you can run OS X successfully.

Niresh is never a better approach. It's a hacked together mess of old shitty kexts and are made by basement dwelling Russians who add custom crap like custom notifications, login screens and similar crap to OS X. Basically it does not install OS X as it is supposed to be. They've marked the entire install with their Niresh shit. So don't bother with it or other 'distros'.

Unibeast with Clover is the best approach. If you know what you are doing, you'll be having a top-notch 100% working hackintosh up quite easily.

You use -v as a boot argument in Clover/Chimera/Chameleon or whatever Unibeast uses these days. There might be a graphical choice named "verbose" there that is the same thing. It'll stop on whatever stops it from working properly, you Google it and find the solution, fix it, and repeat until it works. Once you got it working properly you'll need to test certain stuff like SpeedStep and getting all the peripherals working.

Your setup should work perfectly. It should be a rather easy build to get going.
