Yes. See my comments on http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-guides/175199-guide-simple-fully-functioning-install-el-capitan-gigabyte-z77-ds3h-2.html#post1163998 - the guide itself has info that is either wrong or troublesome, depending on which Atheros chip you have, but the fix is easy.

Yes, they worked fine for me. I got the "HWSensors.6.18.1394" package directly from the author's site, not from here. (If you can find that version or later here, I'm sure it'll be fine too.) Does anyone have a link handy to a post that can provide either a recipe for working USB3 5gbps ports...

As it did for me for quite a while in 10.8.x. Then I started trying to move files to an NFS server. Instant freeze every time. Other activities (generally involving sending, not receiving) would also trip the bug. If it's working for you, great, but that's only because your particular use...

This is working very poorly on my box. It does run at variable clock rates, up to the OC I set in the BIOS, but the problem is that it's almost always running at or near the OC (4.4GHz). I almost never see any cores running at the base rate (1.6GHz). Before disabling EIST, I didn't get the OC...

Please do NOT use ALXEthernet.kext. It is BROKEN with this motherboard (or just broken, period). You will randomly get crashes while transmitting ethernet packets (receiving works OK, so if you never upload, you may never trip over this bug, but it's there). I put up with this for ages, and it...

BUT!!! http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/374-atherosl1cethernetkext/ Tada. Fixes everything, so far. Large file copies work flawlessly, whereas before they froze and rebooted instantly.

No luck. The project needed to be built from source. I did that, booted with it, same exact behavior as with 1.0.2 - casual light use is fine, but the second I drag a file to my NFS server, the machine reboots. This is especially sucky because you need to use this ethernet when getting imessage...

Same problem - locks up on heavy network use (always sending, AFAICT). But check this out, a possible fix! https://github.com/Dolnor/OSX-ALXEthernet I will try it tonight or tomorow...

For both the iMac13,1 (fully working graphics) and the MacPro3,1 (66% slower graphics, barely faster than the Intel 4000) the config looks like this: <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key>...

Has anyone got this working in 10.11? I do, using iMac13,1, but that's not a great match for my build. Using MacPro3,1, I see the same bizarre problem I've had in everything after 10.8.3 - graphics accel works, but only at about 1/3 the correct speed. I tried Detosx's clover config edits, but...

RehabMan, any chance you could help with this? Thanks...

Hi. I've got a hack with an old Intel PCI 82541 (8086:107c), confirmed as visible with that ID by DPCIManager. There is a hnak driver for that, but it crashes after sleep. Since I'm trying to use this instead of the builtin Atheros that crashes occasionally under heavy load, that's a nonstarter...

I have not been using Clover, so far. I had hoped to avoid learning too much about this - I spend enough of my life on hacking, professionally - so I went totally plain-vanilla until I bought this card. That means standard unibeast/multibeast. And everything worked fine in 10.8.x (except...

Detosx, Can you tell me more about how you set up your machine? I too have a Tahiti LE 7870, and I've found some very odd behavior in 10.9 - so much so that I've stayed on 10.8 so far. In particular, it gets recognized as a D500, but the performance of the system in various benches and games is...

Thank you, that's both helpful and informative. Any thoughts on my question about the graphics power management kext? My concern was that removing it would leave my graphics card running at full power permanently.
