    Gigabyte EX58-Extreme Memory Voltage Bios Sierra

    Hi! I know it's been over a year or so, but did you ever resolve the issue. I have had both issues (no shutdown and DRAM changing from 1.5 to 2.5 v) since I installed Sierra. I'm going to install High Sierra and see if this improves.

    X58 and OS X El Capitan? (X58A-UD3r)

    Thanks GB. No, to be honest, that's the one thing I haven't touched. Still using the same DSDT from my original build. I've never been game to play with my DSDT file - I'll download a new copy, backup my old and see how I go - I see there are some good guides on it, so I'll give it ago. Thanks...

    X58 and OS X El Capitan? (X58A-UD3r)

    I have just decided to install Sierra on an SSD in my machine. This one machine now runs Sierra, Snow Leopard (I still love), Mountain Lion and Windows 7 on separate drives....with a couple of extra drives for storage. Everything works fine, though I'm having no luck with shutdown on the...

    [SUCCESS] macOS Sierra GA X58A-UD3R REV2.0-FB i7-950 RADEON HD6670

    Hi SplintX. I've done a similar build with my old system, but Radeon HD 5770. Works nicely, although I have dreaded shutdown problem (won't shutdown). Have tried all the usual approaches to dealing with shutdown. Does your machine shutdown ok? Well done. Eco

    RAM running 1333 Mhz instead of 1600 Mhz

    Hi Hawaga. I'm sure you've worked this out by now, but VioletDragon meant for you to attach your config.plist file (in your EFI/Clover folder. (you have to first mount your EFI folder using EFI Mounter or Clover Configurator. :) Then, drag a copy of your config.plist file to your desktop and...

    Recording Studio Hackintosh Can I take working files from my iMac?

    Update: have just completed a quick Sierra build (in the same machine) and found that if I switch the Ensemble ON during the boot process, it is recognised and I now have keyboard control of the Ensemble! I will try a few kexts to see if I can solve this. However, for now, this is cool...

    Apogee Ensemble won't connect with Hackintosh

    Hey Wallace22! Gosh, it's been a while since I've been online, but I've been using my Ensemble still.....with Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion without any major issues since 2011......and I've now got it working with Sierra......without additional kexts (though there's a catch that I'm trying to...

    Does Carbon Copy Cloner Really Make a "Bootable" Hackintosh HD?

    :) Hi folks. It's been years since I have posted......my X58a build has worked flawlessly since it was built (Xmas 2010). All, I have really done is increase hard drive capacity. My machine now has 8 drives (but 2 are 'partitioned' drives) (including 1 SSD....purely for experimental purposes)...

    Recording Studio Hackintosh Can I take working files from my iMac?

    I agree. I am running both Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard with an Apogee ensemble. With Snow Leopard (my primary system) everything runs flawlessly including keyboard control of ensemble volume. However, this is not the case with Mountain Lion. I use the Maestro interface (or the old fashioned...

    Success - GA-X58A-UD3R

    Hi folks, Gosh, it's been a long time since I posted, but this is for 2 main reasons - 1) I've been busy, shockingly so and 2) I've not had a reason to search for help. This second reason leads me to therefore post an update and again, thank the tonymacx86 community. I built my machine...

    GA-X58A-UD3R (2.0) with Working USB 3.0 on ML 10.8.2

    Thanks again. I'll give it one more go and see if I've missed something......weird really because I've formatted several drives in exactly the same way without a hiccup. One more go... Incidentally, thanks for the driver......if I'm not mistaken, it was the one that I'd posted many moons...

    GA-X58A-UD3R (2.0) with Working USB 3.0 on ML 10.8.2

    Thanks John, No, I'm sure it's not the BIOS. My machine as we speak, several drives including Win7, SLeopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. This computer has been stable for 2.5 years now......it was the iLok and Pro Tools upgrade that did something 'naughty!'. I've got this down pat now and it...

    GA-X58A-UD3R (2.0) with Working USB 3.0 on ML 10.8.2

    Hmm? I've all but given up. I just cannot get pro tools 10 launching wirelessly using the same USB adapter as you. I may give it one more go from scratch. Which method did you use and did you delete any kexts? I hope you don't mind too many questions! I'm going to whip out my bass and play a...

    Hackintosh and Pro Tools

    Thanks BoomR, Shall investigate this a little further. Yes, when I'm 'wired' (via ethernet) all is good, but as soon as I invoke wireless, I'm stuffed. I'll keep plugging away.....as always, thanks for taking the time to respond. Regards Eco

    Hackintosh and Pro Tools

    Hi Boom R, I'm a little stumped here. Finally found that I cannot launch Pro Tools 10 or 11 UNLESS I have my ethernet cable attached and recognised in my network. This NEVER happened when I ran PT on LION, but has been a problem with my set up since Mountain Lion (which runs everything else...
