Issues Present:

* No back usb, and the front one's only work with some drives (I installed the La'Cie Kext from MB) Anyone have a 100% working fix for this?
*5ish seconds to boot off an SSD? Anyone have an Idea to speed this up? (Yes I installed Trim)




UPDATED FOR IVY BRIDGE 02/04/2013


1) New Bios 1604.
2) Bios Repo has been moved (Link Below)







UPDATED 10/15/2012

1) Update to 10.8.2 to increase USB3 SPEED!







UPDATED 08/14/2012



  1. [*=left]Unibeast drive with Mountain Lion
    [*=left]Patience
    [*=left]MSRDumper to test Speedstep (Not needed for Ivy Bridge)
    [*=left]Maximus V Gene (Obviously)

So inorder to install OSX 10.8 on this system I had to jump through a few hoops, but now have it stable and back to 10.7.4 condtitions.

1) First: Had to flash bios to get Native speedstep/sleep, the file from here: Latest Version: 1604 http://biosrepo.wordpress.com/asus/

*Inorder to do this Format a flash drive to FAT32/16, then copy the bios file to it (Should be named M5G.CAP). Insert the flash drive into the white ROG connect port on the back of the motherboard and press and hold the button until it starts blinking. Then wait until the light finishes blinking, and you're set!


2) Second had to set up bios with basic hackintosh settings and any other settings vary from build to build. Internal PLL overvoltage: DISABLED

*Update*: No difference has been made with the above setting and Ivy Bridge

*Before i did this I of course created my Unibeast drive with my newly purcashed Mountian Lion App :)

3) I now have a 680 so GraphicsEnabler=No worked for me | Users with a 560Ti or similar will need PCIRootUID=0

*Then installed normal, then booted from USB with no boot flags and it booted right up. May need to use PCIRootUID=0 again if that doesn't work.(Only if you had to use in order to boot)

4) Run Multibeast, selected ALC898 without DSDT. Intel Ethernet Kext is needed. Nothing for graphics (depends on your setup/card), 3rd Party Sata (Not necessary but all your Hard drives will show up as external), USB3 WORKS NATIVE, and that's it. EasyBeast is not needed with the flashed bios, but the User-DSDT/DSDT-Free install works great!



*To fix the slow boot time, move your lion drive to the Asmedia Sata port (the bottom ones).

*Update*: I have my ssd in the 6Gb/s ports with no difference in boot time. (5 secs) If anyone has any idea how to speed it up, I'd love to hear it!

*MISC* You will Need Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement from 10.7.4 to get speedstep working (after you remove NullCPU of course) if you slected easybeast without flashed Bios.


*MultiBeast Pictures 5 Pictures! If you DID NOT flash your bios you will need Patched Cpu Management from 10.7.4, also depending on your system you will need graphics enablers, or a SSDT for Sandy Bridge CPUs Etc. Please ask if you are confused.


NOT UPDATED FOR IVY BRIDGE YET

If this works also for my Maximus V Gene with i7 3770K then you are my hero :)
I've been trying for 2 days now without succes, constantly white screen of death or kernel panic after multibeast and then reboot.
 
Could you maybe provide me with you bios settings and exact multibeast settings u used?
For some reason after i run multibeast my system doesn't boot anymore past the loading screen.
I'm using a i7 3770k and HD4000 for graphics.
I updated to the newest bios and i can boot into the installer without using PCIRootUID=0 probably because i detached my hd6950.
But after using multibeast and installing chimera 1.11 and rebooting it's over.

Koala Man,

Pardon my ignorance and noobishness to the Hackintosh community, however I am working on installing ML on my Maximus V Gene with integrated video and Corsair Vengeance ram. I have used unibeast and ml, but I keep getting a kernel panic or bios saying no boot device. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. I have already flashed bios with M5G and tried reinstall. Thank you again.

KoalaMan,

Have you checked Sleep/Wake working? No DSDT needed or still need DSDT? If I get this board I will most likely use the EVGA 550ti 2gb vram. Maybe I will get the 560ti not sure yet. You are using the Corsair Vengeance over the Kingston system memory that ASus usually recommends for most of their boards?

I had another question you did say after the Bios Patch that AIPCPM does not need speed step patching to fix the dreaded kernel panic correct?


I am stuck between getting this board since I had great success with the X38 Asus Maximus formula Bios Converted to Rampage Formula and still running perfect or the Asus P8Z77-V Premium a lot more money just to get Thunderbolt, or the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5-TH.

I bet thunderbolt could be added with a PCI card later no?

No boot device can be fixed my moving the drive on which you wish to install Lion/ML into a SATA 1 port. Report Back.

No DSDT is needed, yes sleep and wake work. And yes, after the bios is patched you do not need that.
