Is there any Asus motherboards you can use to build a Hackintosh?

Am contemplating a new build, and reading the threads suggest issues with some of the recommended motherboards above:

(1) All GA-Z87X boards unstable with 4 filled ram slots:

(2) GA-Z87X-UD5H: rear usb3 ports seem to fail

Should I assume from the fact that these boards are recommended that these issues are rare (or easily fixed)?

Is TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 still the recommended wifi adapter for Mavericks? I still have a lot of issues with it.


Works great on my GA-Z87X-OC/i7-4770K, just had to turn wake on LAN off in the bios.

Hey Tony,
Are you sure the Z87 board should still be on the recommended with the freezing issues?

Regards

Thanks for the comments. I'm currently using a Gigabyte Z87X board for my main rig, and we've done extensive testing on the recommended boards. As stated many times over, these motherboards are in our opinion the best you can get for building a custom rig. I am familiar with the threads in question, however I'm not convinced that the issues that are springing up are hardware related. Rather they may be related to other factors such as UEFI setup, RAM timings, peripherals, and OS X Mavericks in general.

Try Search. Use the keyword "Asus." You'll find some info on the Asus boards in the User /
Golden builds section.
 
Hey Tony will the wifi adaptor provided inside the Z87-UD7TH Works on 10.9? since that is 802.11ac and it sounds funny when I must buy the TP-Link wifi adaptor I mean waste money and lower speed since tp link use 802.11n ? Thank you

Tony, how come the customac pro recommends the ud3h and the ud5h but not the ud4h? I have that board coming in soon, so is there problems with it?
