Hy Guys,
I have nearly the same configuration of cmfusco11:
gigabyte z170x ud5 th
i6700k
32gb ram
evga GTX970 4gb

Installation went fine, system boots, installed latest nvidia drivers, but... No gtx970. It only goes with OSX nvidia drivers. No way to make the 970 work with his drivers.
I tried clover way with confi.plist with nvda_... =1.
Nothing.
My card is connected via hdmi. When PC starts fans go. When OSx is loaded fans aren't going.
Sytem info at graphics just says: "Display 5mb".
Please help!
Thanks

Sounds close to my configuration. I had to have both nvidia settings turned on, AND I had to set the computer to Mac3,1. iMac 17,1 didn't work for video.
 
Hi Kevin,
thanks for the reply. I made a step forward (maybe). I put the nvda_drv=1 setting into the config.plist and now, after the apple logo and a short loading, I see a black screen.
What do you mean with "have both nvidia settings turned on". Which settings and where?
Can you send me your config.plist?
Thanks!
Alex

Hi. First at all Thank u a lot for the guide and video!!! Someone have this config work with dual screen?¿ I need know how i can do it?¿ ( sorry for my English )
 
Hello.

Looks like a great system and thanks for the video which is very straight forward. I am going to build one similar using the same mobo and cpu and my existing stuff.

I am curious about Tony Mac's memory recommendations however. I've noticed (for example) that the memory you used is not listed on the Gigabyte recommended memory list for that mobo.
(http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5479#memory support list)

Trying to find out more details on why tonymac recommends Crucial Ballistix in the buyers guide when they aren't recommended by gigabyte.

Thanks!
 
Did you use thermal paste on the CPU/cooler? Can't make that out from the video. Ordered a similar configuration today and assembling in the weekend. Can I download the latest 10.11.6 or should I find a 10.11.5 installation?
 
Download the latest El Capitan version 10.11.6 from the Apple Mac App Store.
 
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your great work and video ! I have a configuration closed to yours and you help me a lot to make it work. I have just one issue : audio don't work (same motherboard)
I tried to fix it with the toledo's file, but I probably do it wrong (this is my first build).
I mount the EFI with clover and then launch the command file (with double-click). I follow the instruction on the terminal but i have this message :
Code:
File: File: audio_realtekALC-110.command_v1.0o1
No Clover/Chameleon files, confirm Osmosis/other install (y/n): y
System Integrity Protection status: enabled (Custom Configuration).

Configuration:
    Apple Internal: disabled
    Kext Signing: disabled
    Filesystem Protections: disabled
    Debugging Restrictions: enabled
    DTrace Restrictions: enabled
    NVRAM Protections: enabled

This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.

OK to patch
Password:
Error: no IOReg/HDEF; BIOS/audio/disabled or ACPI problem
No system files were changed

What can I do ?
Thanks for your help.
