An Intel X299 motherboard with an Intel Core i7 7800X processor was upgraded to an Intel Z890 motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor. The result is a smooth and enjoyable experience, ideal for video editing in this case. Just in case, it's not the work desk, but the standing desk for assembly and testing.

My main Hackintosh was updated. Successful installation of today's update to macOS Tahoe 26.6. To reactivate Wi-Fi/BT and native audio it was necessary to install the corresponding KDK and run RP-Core 1.01 again. As a result, AirDrop works from iPhone to Hackintosh and from Hackintosh to iPhone, as well as Handoff, Continuity, Unlock by Apple Watch, Universal Clipboard, etc. GPU spoofed as RX 6900XT.

Minimalist, compact, and elegant. Assembling this case was quite a process, but totally worth it. The components must be placed in a specific order; otherwise, nothing else will fit. Deepcool surprises more and more each time. Since it's not possible to control ARGB on macOS, I installed a remote-controlled hub and voila.

Another Hackintosh success. For those interested in enabling AirDrop, Handoff, etc. on macOS Tahoe, I recommend using OCLP Plus 3.2.2 (Tahoe compatible) for Wi-Fi, and MyKextInstaller 1.8 to enable integrated audio. We previously used RP-Core 1.01 (Wi-Fi + audio), but it gave us some stability and compatibility issues, such as kernel panics (Wi-Fi + Intel i226v 2.5Gbps Ethernet) and issues with using 10Gbps network cards. Those problems are now resolved with OCLP Plus 3.2.2 (completely stable so far).

I finally got my hands on a Core 7 Ultra 270K Plus to test in a Hackintosh. Complete success! Absolutely responsive; I'd say it's the most responsive Hackintosh I've ever seen. Even though the test was quick, I was blown away. Here are the CPU-only benchmarks. Finally, WiFi/BT with AirDrop and everything else will work perfectly, as I've documented in my previous posts.

Without a doubt, this case is one of the most attractive for those who appreciate minimalism and the absence of RGB lighting. With real wood accents, it exudes presence and elegance. And if that weren't enough, it includes a complete fan kit (intake, exhaust, and HDD/GPU).
