Hi, I have a Gigabyte Z77N motherboard and am considering adding the Gigabyte GC-THUNDERBOLT 2 PCIe card. Does anyone know if the native intel Z77N graphics would automatically route through and be available on the displayport connection on the Thunderbolt card? My reason for wanting this, is...

Hi - I see you didn't get a response to this, but wondered what you ended up doing? Did you get the AT-DP400, and if so what is the resolution/performance like?

Hi all, Thought I would share a modest victory with you. PROBLEM: On wake form sleep the display remained black, but every thing else woke up (i.e. disks spinning, system sounds from display speaker etc). Required a power down, cycle of the mains supply, wait 5 secs and reboot for display to...

Hi - I see a few of you on this thread have Z77N and GTX 660 TI set-ups. I was wondering if you'd got sleep / wake successfully working? And if so how? On mine the system auto sleeps, and I mean completely, i.e. hard disks spin down, fans off, monitor off. But when I hit a key everything fires...

Yep. Plug the antenna in, that did it for me. also just installed 10.8.2 from the combo installer, this has fixed my white square artefact and the wake problem. basically I have no issues at all now. Gtx is even peaking at 100fps in heavenly.

Salch - all up and running 10.8.2. Not a single problem. Running like clockwork, with no messing around! Onboard bluetooth even works with no tweaks!

Hi Salch - about to do a near identical build to you - Z77N, i5, EVGA-GTX-660Ti Do you definitely need the DSDT for the Z77N? I'd heard you could get away without it using UEFI? Ethernet is important to me as I am not bothering with WIFI at all as I have a LAN socket close by... How's it all...

Hi, I am looking for an entry level card that will give me a displayport out for my Apple Cinema Display. It needs to be compatible with the Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI I am using for my ITX build, and be a known Hackintosh friendly card as this is my first build. Could anyone recommend anything? Best...

Hi - great guide and very welcome as the 660 seems to be the cheapest entry level card with displayport for my Apple Cinema Display (ACD). I am about to start my first hackintosh build and want to use my ACD. Will the ACD plugged into the displayport work during BIOS/multibeast initial...

Thanks - so I think I have now figured out what I need if I want Cinema display, basically a graphics card with a displayport connector. This would support higher resolutions and the additional data channel for the camera/usb sockets in the monitor. The cheapest I can find is the EVGA GTX 660...

Hi all, I am about to pull the trigger and order the bits for my first build. Before I do, can anybody see an problems with the below spec? Gigabyte Motherboard GA-H77N-WIFI Intel Core i5 3570K SanDisk Pulse 128GB SSD Corsair Memory Vengeance low profile 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz Seagate 2TB...

Hi all, First off, I must say this is a really great site, and has single-handedly convinced me that a Hackintosh is the way forward now that my Macbook has finally died. Before I embark on the journey though, I just want to manage my expectations on how much hassle/time this will involve. If...
