Thanks for that Stork. But I don't think it applies to me, or this particular install method (using this motherboard), although I may be mistaken. Which is my reason for asking. On the link you posted TonyMac states:

Here, in the simplest of terms, is the method for retail Mac OS X Installation using iBoot, UniBeast, MultiBeast without access to a Mac. If you have access to a Mac, use the default UniBeast guide on it's own.

I have another "Mac", and I assumed that since Ziglen's "installation instructions" don't start with: "Install Snow Leopard From Retail Disc", that it may not be necessary (as first mentioned in the beginning of the OP). I'm thinking that maybe it can be done with Mountain Lion on a Unibeast USB drive. The link you posted only further reinforces my hunch. But, thanks for chiming in with that suggestion. Have you installed ML with this mobo & CPU?

p.s. anyone knows about quadro performance on osx? with win7 64bit and cinebench i have 60 fps. mac version scores 48...

that's standard. The Radeon 7950 is way worse compared to the Windows side (halved). Linux is even faster for OpenGL. It's the main weak spot for OS X. Luckily render speeds are usually faster on the OS X side.

anyway, thanks to Ziglen. I have my GA-X79-UD5-WIFI 3930K machine running smoothly now. I just need to sort out the lack of audio.

You can't get any audio at all? Ziglen has the front audio ports working (if I'm not mistaken). I wonder what it could be. But you have the gigabyte supplied wifi working? What about bluetooth?
 
Gang,

See MacMan's article on the [url="http://www.tonymacx86.com/343-os-x-10-8-3-nvidia-6xx-opencl-benchmarks.html]OS X 10.8.3 and NVIDIA 6xx OpenCL Benchmarks[/url] issues.

ya, I have no audio. Sound panel Output shows no devices. I've tried all the files provided but still no go. Any tips? I'm running 10.8.3 for the AMD 7950 support so maybe that's the issue.
 
oh **** - just reinstalled the audio stuff and rebooted and suddenly front panel headphones work. Sweet. thanks again.

No kidding? Congrats! Did you check the rear? Is the mic input working? Can you tell us exactly what you did?

I prepared for the worst, and just ordered a cheap USB Behringer UCA-202 audio interface for $25. Although, I'm still going to do my best to try to get the on-board audio working.

the rear panel sound is working as well (the front panel is on my Corsair 550D). haven't tested mic input. never need it.

But what exactly did you do to get it working? Please let us know. Thanks.
