I have run into a curious issue on an install of Sierra 10.12.6 This is on a machine I just built from a new ( but older ) MB and CPU I had sitting in my office gathering dust. Machine Name Orange MB Gigabyte GA-Z87X-HD3 rev 1.1 f4 BIOS CPU 4790K PS Corsair...

Hi all, I haven't been here in a while as life does what life does... and my Hacks have been running fine ( Thanks to all at Tonymacx86.com ! ). I am now contemplating a new build using current CPU's and a Z87X motherboard. Thinking of the GA-Z87X-UD5-TH as the price is currently less than the...

Hi All, This just started happening an hour or so ago. Z77X-UP5TH 3770K not OC, Coolermaster V8, Seasonic 750W modular, 32GB Corsair Vengance,Sandisk SSD, Cooler Master HAF XB case - Mtn Lion 10.8.2 MacPro3,1, no DSDT, on-board video. Temps were running cool @ idle ( < 28°C ). had speedsteps...

I wanted to change to a quieter video card in this particular Hack and I must be doing something foolish. This Hack: Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev 1.3 f12 BIOS 2700K - not overclocked yet 16GB Ram ( 4 x 4 Dominator ) Seasonic 750 W Samsung 830 SSD 240GB 10.8.2 works fine with EVGA 9800 GTX+ ; but it is...

I have been trying to find some consensus on the max CPU temps for overclocked 2600k machines. On my UD3H machine I am getting 70•77•77•71°C while stress testing ( these temps are from realtemp under Windows 7 32 bit ). Some places I have read that < 80°C is fine; elsewhere I have seen <70°C...

Hi all, I am sure many of you know about the extreme flooding in Thailand; 500+ people have lost their lives and millions are struggling with the effects of the flooding. But this flooding has also severely damaged the Hard Drive production capacity of Western DIgital and Toshiba. WD has lost...

I do not know if this is possible or reasonable from a work stand point, but... I have been trying to keep all of my installed kexts colored so that they are easy to find within /S/L/E . Especially now that I have been moving toward putting all the kexts there vs having them in both /E/E and...

Hi all, I am toward the end of the optimization of my Z68X-UD3H-B3. I have been doing the OC testing in windows 7 pro 32-bit, using CPU-Z, LinX, RealTemp, Handbrake, and GeelBench 2.3.x . I am up to 4.7 GHz with a 1.395 vCore and I get a GeekBench 32bit windows of 14132. Not too bad, ( but...

I have done this before with similar machines ( 775 board setups cloned to another 775 board, 1366 setups cloned to another 1366 machine ). This is the first time I have tried it between two LGA 1155 boards; and in this case the receiving machine has the potential for onboard video ( although...

I have a Z68X-UD5-B3 machine that normally runs Snow Leopard. Last night I booted into Lion 10.7.1 to do some testing on a firewire card; everything worked perfectly. But... When I turned on the machine today - I got the Gigabyte splash screen... and I always turn it off... and then no boot...

The title of this guide should actually be: “How to allow installation of the new iLife ’11 programs that came with your relatively new Snow Leopard Mac on to all of your other macs.” - but that wouldn't fit ;) I have been thinking about a tutorial topic for awhile. Hopefully this is not so...

To all who would like to comment: I would like input on which utilities are being used to display CPU temps, HD temps, CPU utilization %, Network I/O, etc in the menubar. I was using iStat Menus, but they did some changes after version 3.05 that killed the Hackintosh utilization for me; and I...
