Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on these forums! I have an aging but still kicking Z68 build that I've been lazy about updating but am now planning on getting to the latest and greatest. I hear OS upgrades are cake once you're on Clover, so I figure I might as well update to High...

Hi all, I have tried and failed thus far to upgrade to Yosemite on my SSD. My home folder is currently on a separate drive, and until I get Yosemite installed I'm booting off a third HDD with a backup (Mavericks) clone made in CCC. My question is, can I erase my SSD and do a fresh install of...

Hi all, I made a Unibeast drive today for Yosemite and successfully booted into my installer. (I am trying to upgrade from Mavericks). I started the install, and it went for a while, but at the end I got this error message and it told me to restart: "Building boot caches on boot helper...

Hey toleda/all, I updated to 10.9.1 yesterday, and tried to reinstall my audio drivers (ALC889 w/ DSDT) as per usual. However, MultiBeast gives me an error message ("installation failed" - log text below). I tried installing through Multibeast 5.5, but that failed as well. I then tried...

Hey MacMan, I was trying to reinstall my ALC889 (w/ DSDT) audio driver today on my main rig and I kept getting an "installer encountered an error message." Any idea why that is? Thanks, Seamus 12/18/13 21:40:48 - Starting MultiBeast 6.0.1-20131109 12/18/13 21:41:13 - Installing...

I was hoping someone have some suggestions for my friend (snackbardan) and me as we try to get his Z87N-WIFI up and running. He's using the integrated HD4600 graphics on an i5-4670K over HDMI to a 1024x768 TV. We updated the BIOS today to F4 and installed OS X (using 10.8.5 and Unibeast 2.1). We...

As the title says, I want to remove my G5's PCI bracket thingy so that I can line up my mobo tray with the back of the case for figuring out where to cut. People have recommended using pliers, but I can't get the needlenoses I own between the fake mesh that surrounds it and the actual back...

I have a 5770 that's VESA modes are all 4:3. The other day I went into Windows and successfully edited my VBIOS to add a 1920x1080 option (it shows up as one of the modes in chimera now). I also added "Graphics Mode=1920x1080x32" to my boot.plist, made sure my theme background was 1080p, and...

Hey guys, I'm planning on using a Mountain Mods motherboard tray (2x80mm fan version of course) for my G5 mod and have been contemplating how to mount the motherboard tray inside the case. The thing I'm wondering about is the standoffs inside my case. The PowerMac I got is the single...

Hey everyone, I just got my G5 case so I figured I'd start a thread. I don't even have a mobo tray yet (so it may be a while), but I'll update this thread with pics etc. as I go along. Anyway, I'll post some pics of the parts I got for now. It came with the front panel cable...

[Solved] DSDT for Z68MA UEFI Breaks sleep Hey everybody. After a lot of troubleshooting, I finally determined that my DSDT is causing my issue of the screen not waking from sleep. I have a Z68MA-D2H-B3 that I recently updated to the UEFI BIOS. Everything went fine, but I decided I needed a...

Hey guys, I have tried just about every BIOS and darkwake setting in an effort to fix my sleep issues to no avail, so I figured I'd turn to the forum for help. Here's the story. Before the UEFI BIOS, sleep worked fine. I'd press sleep, and everything would turn off. If I pressed a key, it...

I found a for-parts G5 on eBay for about $26. Should I get it? Is this a good deal?

Hey guys, I've recently been trying to create an automator/applescript action that downloads the NYTimes crossword of the day and prints it out. I think I know how to do most of it, but I'm stuck on one part. Here's the problem: The nytimes crossword is posted daily as a pdf at a URL in...

Hey toleda, I updated my board to the UEFI BIOS and have since been working on getting my audio back to normal. I extracted a DSDT using DSDTSE, followed your guide for adding HDEF, and installed. This much was successful, as I now have working onboard audio. Then, I went to edit my new...

Hey everybody, when I start up my machine (2500k on a GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 w/ 8GB 1600mhz Kingston HyperX), I occasionally get this message at boot time: "The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes in voltage. Latest settings in BIOS may not coincide with current...

Could we have it so that the search bar searches directly, instead of directing us to the advanced search page?

Hey MacMan, Could you add Mountain Lion OS Detection to Chimera? I'm using the logintolion theme, and my new ML drive is being detected as a Lion drive. I'd like to have the ML picture for my ML drive. Thanks, Seamus
