For those of you having problems installing the 2018-003(17G4015) security update for 10.13.6(17G65)(you get a 'cannot complete install' message and a lengthy installer log), try this: download and apply the 10.13.6 Combo Update first and then apply the 2018-003 update. Yes, I know, this seems...

For those of you having trouble creating a properly working 10.13.6 USB install stick with Unibeast, try using a different USB Flash Drive manufacturer. I have been using Kingston 16gb Data Traveler USB sticks for years until I tried using one to create a 10.13.6 installer and ran into all the...

First of all, many thanks to jb007 for his very detailed response to the USB issue I raised in post #444. And thanks also to SebErr for his suggestion to try the new PMHeart patch for 10.13.6. I didn't know about this patch change and was using the one for 10.13.4-5. I made this Z370 Aorus rig...

I have just finished a 10.13.6 install with a Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 build(i7-8700k, RX-560, 16gb Vengeance RAM, Samsung 1Tb NVMe, F7 bios, Clover 4458), and it was not an easy build, despite the clarity and detail that HackaShaq provided. I have fixed all of the problems so far, the ones relating...

I have a X58A-UD3R rev 2.0 FH motherboard with a 10.10.5 install. Everything works perfectly - sleep, shutdown, restart, no CMOS resets. The key seems to be to install not only AppleACPIPlatform Rollback extension, but the AppleRTC Patch for CMOS reset. both of which are found in Multibeast...

Danny, I have no idea of how to fix that 'pci168c,30 cannot assert wake from D3cold' problem with your AJA I/O video card. Perhaps running DPCI manager would help clear the trouble out after you removed the AJA drivers/extensions from S/L/E. If the AJA card(or any other) didn't come with...

Danny, I would try using the MacPro3,1 SM Bios instead of iMac14,2 - nVidia's CUDA driver + web drivers specify MacPro3,1, 4,1 and 5,1 systems only. That might make a difference. I would also try this: go into the BIOS once again and set the memory profile to default rather than profile 1...

For what it's worth, I would avoid using the nVidia 346.01.02f04 drivers for the GTX-970(and possibly other Maxwell based nVidia cards). The f03 drivers, however work fine. The f04 drivers cause the mouse to freeze after about 2 minutes of use. Why this happens is a mystery... But this is what...

Danny - are you doing the Thunderbolt patch in Windows prior to installing Yosemite? There are quite a few threads on how to go about doing this elsewhere, but it has to be done in Windows into which you would download the Thunderbolt patch from Gigabyte and then run this downloaded installer...

Yosemite 10.10.3 installed on a GA-Z97X-UD7 TH/32GB Corsair Ballistix 1833mhz RAM/ EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0/ i7 4790K Generated a 10.10.3 UniBeast USB installer. Used -v -x maxmem=8192 to get to OS installer and Desktop. Wasn't necessary to go through Windows Thunderbolt BIOS driver installer...

I recently purchased the Z97-HD3 rev 2.0 F6 bios motherboard and found it a challenge to get working right, certainly far more difficult than Z87 or Z77 motherboards. I am using 8gb of GSkill RAM(F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL), very popular choice, Mavericks 10.9.5, an i5-4460 Haswell processor and an EVGA...

I have had one of these rigs for about a year now connected to my Samsung 40" flat screen for playing back videos , etc., via VLC media player. I was able to get HDMI audio via the lower HDMI port(video too, of course) by using the DSDT on TonyMac's site. However, the HDMI connection was...

Why is it that when I replace a GTX 660ti card with a GTX 560ti card that the Luxmark score(default Sala test) goes up from 682 to 1162? Wouldn't you expect that the older 560ti card to have an inferior Luxmark performance? The 560ti has 448 cores and the 660ti has 1344 cores... In all other...

There doesn't seem to be any solution to this problem, at least with my Z77X-UD5H, rev 1.1. I have tried three different Firewire 800 cards, the Startech, the Syba and an i.connect 800 card that I happened to have lying around. All three cause the same issue - no sleep(screen shuts down but...

Here's a useful tip for those having problems with sleep and shutdown, that is, fans keep running after initiating sleep but your rig won't wake up. Hard restart required to get back on line. This would be particularly helpful for those who are using the recommended TDN4800 Airport Wireless...
