I somehow managed to get myself locked out of my system. I backed everything up, updated Clover Configurator, Clover, and downloaded the combo update and nVidia graphics driver. Ran through the update and now when i get to the login screen enter my password and after a couple seconds, get...

All my motherboard USB ports (including the USB 3 header) are consistently getting around around 115-120 MB/s read/write transfer rates. These are using a cheap WB MyPassport USB3 portable drive. Are you using thumb drives? I've had wildly varying results with them.

I did not test audio over DP or HDMI as I am using a speaker connected directly to the audio out port. If I can find some time to check this, I will do so and report back.

I followed the "Idiot's Guide..." verbatim and had no issues at all. Sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear. I guess I got lucky.

Yes! Absolutely. This was one of my major goals after getting the rig up and running, so I wouldn't fear jacking it up without recovery. Since this is my first Hackintosh, I had to deviate from my usual backup method since I now had to also backup the EFI partition. I use SuperDuper but I...

Ledde, Not sure what could be wrong. My recollection is exactly as I described in the guide. Run the script, enter password, answer yes, yes, yes, reboot. The only thing I can think of is the password may be incorrect. Sorry, that's all I got. Toleda should be able to help you out.

Glad you found my other post helpful.

AndyC, no I did not upgrade to the F20 firmware. After reading the description, I decided to go with vesrsion F5b. The part about not being able to downgrade scared me off. I don't ever want to be locked in to something I can't revert back. Have you tried to load F5b anyway? Maybe it will work...

I can whole-heartedly recommend the Gigabyte GTX 950. Running in my box with a very similar mobo with no issues. Also very reasonably priced at around $169.

This is my first Hackintosh build, and overall I think it went extremely well. The following is a guide should you decide to build using the same motherboard/processor/graphics card combination. Suffice it to say, with the rig being up and running for about one week now, I'm still discovering...

Well, that alone didn't fix it. But I did find your Audio - Realtek ALC AppleHDA [Guide]. Followed section II. Realtek ALC AppleHDA Scripts and used the pikeralphaALC-120 script. That did it! Thanks for leading me to it.

Yikes! How did I miss that??? I only checked ALC892... I'll try that when I get home tonight.

So after lurking and researching for a few weeks, I have managed to put my rig together and working on getting the bugs out. So far all is going well but one major issue to this point is the onboard audio (ALC892) is not working. I did load the ALC892 driver in MultiBeast. I was under the...

I've got my rig up and running (with the GA-170X-UD3 Ultra). Currently I'm working on getting some minor bugs out and hope to post a "Build" post soon!

After looking at online reviews, dates and Gigabyte information, it looks like the GA-170X-Designare would be model that is most similar to the older -UD5 TH in terms of features and performance. Personally, I think I'm going to go for the GA-170X-UD3 Ultra because comparing the -UD3 Ultra and...
