hey welcome back to the channel today we're doing another hackintosh build but
this time we're using an i7 8700k coffee leak processor so here we go so
like I said this machine is using an i7 8700K processor, I actually did a build
video on this machine a few weeks ago so I'll put a card up here and a link down
in the description to that video and also have a parts list if you want to
check any of these parts out so in addition to the 8700k processor I'm
also using 16 gigabytes of gskill TridentZ RAM and these were both
installed on the Asus tuff Z 370 pro gaming motherboard 256 gigabyte SSD
drive and an Nvidia GTX 1070 video card. So that GTX 1070 is actually one place that I
had a little bit of a problem with this build. The reason for that was not with
the card but with the drivers available on the Nvidia site, the latest web
drivers actually slowed things down considerably there was noticeable lag it
turns out some of the newer drivers don't work as well in High Sierra and
some of the old what drivers work better so after doing a little bit of research
I found a really good script I'll put a link down in the description to this but
it's out on github and it's by a guy named Benjamin Dobel I hope I'm
pronouncing that right but it's just a script that you download you run it from
the terminal and what it does is it goes out and finds the best Nvidia drivers
not necessarily the newest but the ones that work best on the operating system
you're on I've used that on High Sierra and it worked great the drivers that it
installed work fantastic no lag or anything so other than that I really
didn't have too much of a problem at all with this build everything worked pretty
much out of the box the only thing I had to do was go into clover configurator
after everything was installed and do some tweaking in there if you have no
idea what that means I'll link down in the description to a
article out on Tony Mac that lists you through step by step on how to get
started not necessarily for this build but just for a build in general and
after reading that you'll know exactly what I'm talking about so jumping into
the performance of this machine on day to day activities as you would expect
this thing performs phenomenally well browsing the
doing word processing moving files around all that stuff completely smooth
no hiccups no kernel panics nothing it's been rock-solid now I don't put a lot of
credence into benchmark games I'm more of a hands-on kind of guy but I know a
lot of people like benchmarking so let's jump into that so on Cinebench for
OpenGL we got 130 2.41 frames per second and the CPU was fourteen sixteen on
Geekbench for single core score we got a 5905 and multi-core score was twenty
five six zero seven which is actually a really good score it's kind of right
around what you would expect for this processor now because of this gtx 1070
card of course I had to do some gaming benchmarks I did just a few just to get
an idea for how it performs so first that the thing I did was seven days to
die at the highest setting there was a minimum of 2.7 frames per second an
average of 74 frames per second and a max of 117 point two now as you can see
in this chart that 2.7 minimum was just a quick dip down so you can kind of
discount that I never saw that during gameplay
shadow of Mordor at 1080p Ultra settings there was a forty two point eight
minimum frame per second a ninety six point nine max and it was right around
sixty nine frames per second was sixty eight point nine totally smooth gameplay
again there was a little bit of fluctuation in there but I never really
saw too much of an issue I never saw a drop or anything it seemed pretty
consistent while I was playing so then I wanted to try a game that wasn't as
graphic intensive and rimworld that I had installed so I tried that out solid
60 frames per second no problem as you would expect games like this can run on
pretty much anything so they're gonna run just fine on this system so the
other thing I do with my system a lot is video editing so I wanted to test out
both premiere and Final Cut Pro now Final Cut Pro is one of the best
optimizes applications that I've ever used the scrubbing and everything in
there was completely smooth with 4k video right off my camera I didn't have
to do any proxies or anything smooth scrubbing cutting and moving
Clips around no problem even putting in transitions things like that absolutely
no problem at all I did the Bruce x5k benchmarking and it
took 34 seconds to support that and then I had a nine
minute video as a nine minute 4k video with a couple of layers and you know
basic transitions and stuff nothing too fancy exported that and that took about
20 minutes now that seems like it's a little bit high because one of the nice
things of Final Cut Pro is a fast render times now the deal is Final Cut Pro is
much more optimized to work well with AMD cards so if I had an AMD card in
there I'd be getting much faster export speeds it's a little bit slower with
that gtx 1070 but it's still you know it's not bad at all twenty minutes to
export a 4k video is not bad next up is adobe premiere now adobe premiere
perform great on this as well the scrubbing around the timeline wasn't
quite as smooth as it was on Final Cut Pro but again I didn't have to make
proxies and just by sending that preview level down a little bit from fall down
to half or quarter it sped things up it was definitely workable it definitely
didn't have to take the time to generate the proxy files and stuff like that and
then with multiple layers and transitions and color grading and some
audio effects exporting a nine-minute 4k video to h.264 or 4k it took about 15
minutes so it was significantly faster on this machine in Adobe Premiere just
for the rendering then it was on Final Cut Pro and again if I had an AMD card
in that I am almost 100% sure that that render time would be much much faster in
Final Cut Pro so overall been really happy with this high sierra works
fantastically well on this machine i have a dual booting with Windows 10 so I
switch between Windows 10 and I Sierra and they both work great on this
computer so if you're considering building a
hackintosh this is a fantastic machine this processor works awesome the the
motherboard is great I haven't had any problem with the RAM I haven't tried to
overclock it yet this is just standard clocking but everything's worked great
and I can really recommend all this stuff the only thing that I would change
if you're building this solely for a hackintosh is you may want to consider
consider getting a AMD card rather than an nvidia card just
things are a little more optimized in mac OS so hopefully you guys have
