It is indeed odd! Another odd thing I noticed is that the temps are exactly the same side by side for the 1st 15 mins of Prime95 testing in SL and Win 7 but at around the 20min mark the SL temps shoot up to 75 and in Win7 they shoot up to 67...

I made sure to remove fan power management options in BIOS so iStat menu's show all fans running at full RPM. I think this has something to do with an improperly installed or missing kext. Prior to installing ACPIThermal.kext my temps would run as high as mid 80's... I guess as long as It...

Using Prime95 in Win7 my max temp was 67c after about 13-14 hrs of testing using the maximum heat test. In Snow Leopard it gets to mid 70s after 20mins.

I believe I've found stability at 4ghz. I've made 24hour long tests in Linx and Prime95 without crashing or errors. My settings are as follows: 174x23 Ram underclocked @ 1392mhz vcore @ 1.28 QPI/Vtt @ 1.25 CPU PLL @ 1.70 QPI PLL @ 1.20 DRAM @ 1.64 Everything else auto/default After doing...

Heres my build. I forgot I even had windows on my computer cause I've been so immersed with this awesome OS. Edit: For some reason 2 of images are rotated after they are attached to the post. IMG_0781.JPG IMG_0780.JPG IMG_0779.JPG

What version of Snow Leopard are you installing? I used the 10.6.3 Retail DVD. At this point I would try using a different DVD or perhaps even creating an installation USB.

I'm glad you got it mostly working. If you choose the DSDT from the database and selected UserDST the bootloader is installed. You do not have to select the bootloader as it would be redundant and IMO may cause issues. In BIOS you have to change the Hard Disk boot priority and make the disk...

Madebyboris, I had the same issue as you when I ran Multibeast after install. The problem I feel is that you have to be very careful with what you choose in Multibeast. If you select and install something that is already being installed by the UserDSDT or is unnecessary you risk loosing the...

It took me several reinstalls to get boot working properly. Basically be sure to choose the right DSDT from the database and make sure your bios version reflects the version of the DSDT available. During the Multibeast step you would place the DSDT on your desktop, choose UserDSDT, Hard Drive...

I thought my Windows 7 Install was interfering with the SL installation. Though even after removing the Win 7 HD leaving just the DVD and a blank HD, SL would fail at AppleIntelCPUPowerMangement. Using a different drive and changing the SATA connection (DVD on SATA-0, Hitachi 1TB HD SATA-1...

Interestingly I had no issues install 10.6.3 with 8gb memory 2 sticks of 4gb.

Gabriel, Our motherboards aren't exactly the same but they are similar. I had the same problem until I tried a different HD and swapped around the SATA connections. I originally had my Seagate blank HD on SATA-0 and my DVD drive on SATA-1.. I swapped out the Seagate for a Hitachi, put the DVD...

Just wanted to post an update. I bought a 1TB Hitachi HD, switched the SATA connections and it miraculously installed 10.6.3 with everything working once I ran the 10.6.7 combo update, Multibeast and used my MB's specific DSDT. Just to clarify, I have my DVD drive on SATA-0, 1TB Hitachi (SL...

I am using the same setup as the OP. GB X58-USB 3 i7 950, 4gb Ram, ATI 5850... I changed all the BIOS settings to reflect tonymac's guide. iBoot loads fine but as soon as I put in the SL DVD and hit enter (or use the PCIRootUID=1 -x) the screen is black for a couple of minutes and then hangs...
