Hi YoungMalcolm, I haven't been able to fix the Firefox slowness after waking up my Hack. Sometimes it's just quicker to just close it and open it again. Your mouse disappearing sometimes sounds like a video card issue. I'd look into that (I haven't had that problem, yet). And just FYI, my Hack...

Hi guys, I'm just checking in. I was surprised to come home from vacation (after one week) to find that my SSD was throwing errors when I was trying to boot up my Hack. Long story short- I had to reformat my SSD and start over (reinstall Mavericks and run TimeMachine). I actually had to go back...

No worries Carp, I've been busy and out of town. I will put up the highlights of this thread later this week :)

There you go, Magnusb1. You figured it all out by yourself :P. I did the same- if you read this thread from the beginning, it was a lot of trial and error. And, as you found out, that if you set everything in Multibeast as per the instructions I put together, it will work. Please post anything...

Carp and others, can you look this over and make sure I've put everything in here, and in the right order? Quick instructions for getting the Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7 G1 Motherboard up and running. These are the bare-bone instructions. For more detailed info and other fixes (like getting USB...

Hi Magnus and Carp- I will do a highlights post here and Carp can tell me if I missed anything. Then I'll start a new thread. In the mean time, does anyone know why this happened in the middle of a simple task? I was just opening a new file in Illustrator and the screen filled with this text...

Thanks Carp, it's sleeping (and waking up) well now :) Hey kakar0tt, I'm glad everything's working better (sound-wise). I can't speak much to using the built-in graphics on the motherboard- I just used it briefly while doing the original basic install. My dedicated card plays youtube video...

This build has been running fine except for one small thing: I usually leave my computer on all the time and let the apple sleep function turn off the screens after 20 mins of no use. After an hour I have it shut down the hard drives and go into whatever mode is after "sleep" and before...

Hi kakar0tt - I can't seem to upload the AppleUSBAudio kext. It says it is a 10Kb "invalid file". Maybe you can find some older kexts somewhere on this site?

Hi Donkey, I have read all of the links below and they suggest tweaks in BIOS (which is fine, I can do that), but also Windows-only programs. I'm just wondering if it is possible to tweak a Hackintosh in OS X Mavericks alone.

4770k Overclocking for total beginners (no windows partition) Hi guys, is it possible to overclock a Hackintosh without a Windows partition? I've read some basic guides for the i7 4770k that call for running a couple programs in Windows that help you with your overclock settings and results. I...

Thanks Carp, mine seems to be running perfectly. The only thing that was slightly weird was that my computer would freeze up if I plugged a thumbdrive in a USB port, but this doesn't seem to be happening anymore. turbodsms- do you have Kext Wizard? Try running the "Repair permissions" and...

I do feel pretty accomplished after all of this! Thanks again Carp ;) turbodsms- I forgot to say which Audio drivers ended up working! In MultiBeast, under Drivers/Audio/Universal, check VoodooHDA v2.7.3 and install and restart. The ALC1150 drivers do not work for our boards (so far). Here is...

I figured the USB audio out! I copied the AppleUSBAudio.kext from the s/l/e on my regular iMac (where my USB speakers were working) and installed it in the s/l/e on my hackintosh via kext wizard and after a reboot the speakers appeared in the system preferences/sound area! On another topic-...

I tried to install the newest Voodoo kext in MultiBeast, but it popped up a window during the install that said the kext couldn't be installed. I kept trying the other older ones, and one of them worked- in my audio settings there were a bunch of options (including 4 HDMI audio, but not...

OK, does the HDMI port have to be activated or something? The monitor is not getting a signal through the HDMI cable... And I downloaded the drivers for my USB speakers... and restarted to find the errors shown below, in the screen grab. So, my hack won't boot without -x again. Should I erase...

[SOLVED] Help with booting into Mavericks with Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7 G1, i7-4470K, GTX 760 Alright, I've tucked all the wires away and shut the case- got it up and running right away this morning with my dual ASUS monitors (one horizontal, one vertical). The resolution on the vertical is maxed...

It works! Flashing lights and everything :shock: !!! Internet connectivity achieved! Wow, there is NO WAY I could have done this without your help, Carp! I hope I can call you Carp- I feel like we're closer now ;) ... And I will post more about this whole experience when I get back later...

Thanks Carpentry, I followed your instructions exactly and everything worked, but when I restarted there was still no Ethernet connectivity available (see attached pic). At least there were no kernel panics on restart! So, am I looking at the correct system window (Network) to check for...

Sorry, it keeps taking me a while to get back with the screen grabs- the hackintosh occasionally freezes up when I try to plug the USB drive in to get the info you are requesting. Then I have to restart, etc... I will worry about the USB later! Here are the newer DCPIManager pics: And here...
