Hibiki - The i9 Dan A4-SFX Big Sur Hackintosh PC Build
My cinematic ASMR Hackintosh ITX PC build for video editing purposes. Built with an Intel i9-9900K crammed in a DAN A4-SFX, alongside a 16GB Radeon VII, 64GB DDR4, 4TB of NVMe storage, and a lot more. In hindsight, I'd choose a lower-end CPU for better thermals, but the machine currently works 100% as expected now so I'm happy. Will consider an upgrade whenever the Zen 3 chips come out and/or if I can get my hands on a FormD T1 :). Parts list and timestamps below.
