Thanks for this great thread and build details.

I see 3 motherboards in your sig Giacomo, which do you prefer, and why?

Asrock, Gigabyte or Zotac?

Look at post #10.

Went with the Gigabyte anyway.

Mostly due to pricing:

Gigabyte 85 Euros Special offer!

Asrock 129 Euros

Zotac 149 Euros.

Grazie mille!

I followed you great guide upto where I installed Trim enabler.

I can't enable trim though. Do I need the payed version of Trim enabler, called Trim enabler Pro? Or can I enable trim otherwise?

Thanks again for a great guide.

I don't seem to be able to set the enable trim switch to on in trim enabler. Does this mean it isn't supported on the SSD? It's an Intel X25-M 80 GB.

Groth's Trim Enabler is totally free. After installing the app, you'll have to turn it on (open trim enabler app and you'll see), then reboot. Done! Check in system report/serial ata

EDIT: here I found something interesting

Thanks again.

Unfortunately I don't have this rig anymore... did you try with hd4000 (and gtx650 uninstalled)?

Fixed by switching to iMac13,2 smbios.
I copied the stuff related to ACPI from Mac-F65AE981FFA204ED.plist (Macmini6,2) to Mac-FC02E91DDD3FA6A4.plist (iMac13,2) in s/l/e/ioplatformpluginfamily.kext/contents/plugins/x86platformplugin.kext/ in order to enable speedstep in iMac13,2.

Hi, i've an Hackintosh with the same motherboard and i5 3570k. I'm using default HD4000 graphics card.
Everything was working as well also sleep mode and auto sleep.
Now it's about 2 days that the sleep and auto sleep stop working.
The Kernel Flag in the Chamaleon plist is setted by default ad match_kernel.
ML is updated to 10.8.4
I tryed to check the bios setting and all seem to be ok.

Do you have any idea? What can i check to determinate the reason of this fail?

Hi,

ive got a small question regarding the gigabyte z77n-wifi miniitx board.

Im planning to build my self a new hackintosh... and trying to chose between those two motherboards: asrock z77e-itx and gigabyte z77n-wifi

i was first thinking to go with gigabyte, but than i saw your post:

"Gigabyte
Plus - no bios patching, minimum dsdt edit required
Minus - no msata, after wake from sleep - no matter what - any usb device plugged seems to be disconnected (and auto reconnected). That is really disappointing to me!"

is this sleep issue really annoying?
i was thinking to plug a bluetooth stick via usb, will it always connects and disconnects?

Can you give an advice?
or should i better go with asrock motherboard, as i understood theres no issues at all?

thnx.
Elijah

Hi.

Its been a while since last replying to this thread, my Hackintosh is running pretty smoothly except my Mouse.
Its the Logitech Performance MX and uses the Nano Receiver from Logitech, its really laggy and jumps allover the place.
Have tried all the USB ports but the same thing, Bluetooth seems not to cut the keyboard connection as much anymore.
The mouse works fine on my MB-Air, what could be the problem here ?

I followed the install instructions. I was able to do the install using -x and modify using MultiBeast. However, on booting up I keep getting the same error of "iobluetoothhcicontroller setconfigstate calling registerservice. Any advice?
