If you plan on dual booting osx and windows, its worth it. If youre only doing osx, get the gigabyte. The golden build a buddy built has had zero issues. Mine has had a few.
That's a sweet ass motherboard. Comes with the voice modulator, which mine (gaming series) didn't.
If its anything like their gaming series, you will need to patch the bios with pmpatcher. Its failing because the MSI bios locks a resource the installer/osx uses.
Good luck trying to get encryption to work, it simply won't. It is after all, a hacked version.
I wouldn't bank on using time machine for a hack, i'd use a disk cloner instead.
I completely fried a motherboard on ubuntu when I removed a usb flash stick without stopping it first.
Usually though, you're using stock device drivers in that setup, so afaik there SHOULD be no difference.
I don't see many complaints about the kexts for usb on here. No one I personally know...
On a whim I decided to set my bios to defaults and everything is back to normal.
:headbang:
(but I think this is stupid because I didn't change anything)
Now its freezing regardless of bios options. LOL Yeah, this works just as good as a real Mac alright. LOL
Back to mountain lion I go, for now.
Something is weird with 10.9.1 and the onboard audio.
Uninstalled the razer software and the computer will boot with the onboard sound enabled...
Spoke too soon, once I got internet back the onboard audio disappeared from sounds. And the computer freezes unless its disabled from the bios.
Make up your mind Mac! LOL
It was working heavenly! And has been since I started, this is the first time stuff has been weird.
I formatted about 6 times until it started working again.
Its painfully obvious that I lack the knowledge of the interworkings in OSX. I really need to understand the kext files so that I can...
ok I went back and installed the kexts for my audio and Ethernet.
Spinning wheel.
Disabled onboard audio, boots right in.
So all of a sudden my onboard audio doesn't work with OSX when it was working fine. Also, I already disabled it in the bios once and that didn't fix it earlier. So yeah...
The power went out 3 times, but im on battery backup, and during all that, this time I was able to get in to OSX without -x. I also unplugged my windows hard drives.
Getting closer to you know what, yall.:twisted:
