Gigabyte Z87M-D3H (As listed in the TonyMacx86 Buyer's Guide October 2013) Pretty good deal on an LGA 1150 motherboard with the full-featured Z87 chipset for Haswell. Downside is there are only two PCI-e slots, which is fine for graphics and wifi, but if you need something else as well...

So I can't get Airplay Mirroring to work in MLoins. Attempted to change system model identifier to iMac12,1, but it didn't enable it. I look under "About This Mac" and it still shows the old model, "Mac Pro 2008", though the system identifier has been changed. Thoughts?

So I have a build about two years old I'd say, and it's time to update the processor. Socket LGA1156 on Gigabyte H55m-USB3 rev 2 board. Looking on newegg, theres 7 processors for this socket for sale, and none are i7. What happened? I wanted to wait for prices to drop, did I wait too long...

Went out of town for ten days. I SWEAR my machine was running fine. Autosleep and all. I installed a new theme to Chameleon right before I left, and I get back and I install two more sticks of ram (same kind). Now my autosleep isnt working. Tried removing the ram again, no dice, sleep is still...

Ugh. So, I had an almost perfectly working system. Sleep worked just fine. But my wireless card wasn't working, so I switched from 64bit to 32bit to see if that made a difference. Low and behold, my wireless card works great now. BUT Now my display won't come back to life after going to sleep...

Anyone have issues with their network card reconnecting to a wireless network after waking their mac up from sleep? Very, very annoying, I have to reboot which makes sleep pretty much pointless :/

Anyone? I got tickets to see in 3D Friday night!

I had a ga-p55a-ud3 rev 1, but theres definitely something wrong with it so it's going back. I don't want a rev2 because it'll have ALC892. So here are some of my requirements: Must not have ALC892 audio chipset[/*:m:37x8v6c5] Must be socket 1156[/*:m:37x8v6c5] Must have room for my pci-e...

Bought an XFX video card from newegg on 11/5. It wouldn't post (and the problem wasn't the mobo) so there was definitley something wrong with the card. So, I contacted XFX about RMAing it (which took two weeks) and finally they let me send it in, but I had to pay the unrefundable shipping myself...

Update: tonymacx86 2012 Recommended Builds and Components Buying Advice is a great forum to get the latest and greatest tips on cost/value of current components on the market. But if you need to know if certain components are compatible at all with building a hackintosh with Tonymacx86.com...

I'm thinking about buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, probably the Apple ones. But I've never used BT peripherals before, so I have a question that many may find silly but it's really stumping me. How can you get into your BIOS with a BT keyboard, if the operating system hasn't loaded yet...

Just wanted to share that I bought a Targus ACB10US (the silver version that forum members have had great success using) on ebay for $6.50. There is a seller selling them for $8 or best offer and they have quite a few in bulk packaging. I made an offer on one for $5, and they countered for $6.50...

I can't get anywhere in my build. This will be the third time I install OSX from scratch. My airport card has given me the ability to download Mac update combos, but I can't get my video card to work or my audio. If I want to try to use the efi-string method on my video card, I need to be able...

Can someone please give me a few straight answers? I've been trying to search how to do this for an hour. I want one hdd with windows, one hdd with OSX. It would be nice to be able to split my windows HDD up into partitions, one to hold my windows installation, and one to hold files I would...

Here's my build! I'm going to document my installation progress as it goes. GA-P55A-UD3 v. 1, Core i3-550 XFX GT240 1GB DDR5 2x 2gb ADATA Premier Series DDR3 1333 2x 500gb WD Caviar Blue HDDs Sony Optiarc AD-7260S Apple Broadcom BCM94321MC w/ PCI Adapter Card XFX XPS-650w Modular PSU...

Anyone run into a video error when using this motherboard? I haven't even plugged my harddrives in yet, just trying to configure my bios. Plugged cpu, fan, memory, video card, power supply, and I can't get anything on my screen when my video card is in my first (higher) pcie-x16 slot. Weirder...

In order to encourage other forum members to answer questions from new users, it would be nice to have a "Thanks" button phpbb mod installed, if there exists one.

I'm getting conflicting information about the ga-p55a-ud3. I just ordered one. I was thinking about buying an i3 chip. Newegg and board specifications say that it works with LGA1156 i5/i7 chips, but the CPU list at Gigabyte's website has a list of i3 processors. Ok. I plan on updating my bios...

Anyone know of any Gigabyte motherboard deals going on right now? I'm thinking of either doing an i5 system, or getting an i3/i5/i7 capable mobo where I can upgrade later. Are there any disadvantages to this? I'm also looking at HDDs. Not sure what I want to do yet, but it would be nice to have...

Use case: Current hackintosh user wants to upgrade their system with a new mobo/processor, and wants to sell their current gigabyte motherboard and processor that they know works well to another hackintosh builder on the forum. Where to do so? I'd love to inquire about buying a used...
