    Yosemite GA Z87X-UD3H + GIGABYTE R9 280X + EFI partition

    The build seems very stable with the last configuration but I wonder what could happen changing it from iMac 14.1 to iMac 15.1. I don't have any 5k monitor of course, but isn't the 280x more similar to the m290x of the iMac Retina than the nVidia in iMac 14.1? What do you think about?

    R9 280X problems (sapphire and asus)

    I installed this configuration with MB, moved the EXTRA folder to EFI partition, starts from SSD with no flags...it seems smooth and good but still no good results on the hardest Luxmark benchmark....weird. What do you think about setting the system definition to iMac 15.1(retina)? I don't...

    R9 280X problems (sapphire and asus)

    Here I am after purchasing a gigabyte r9 280x i did a yosemite fresh install, did the EFI trick but I have some issues. First of all the system sometimes goes to kernel panic at boot(apple logo loading), but it never panic if i flag -v. I'm thinking of the multibeast 1080 boot flag being the...

    R9 280X problems (sapphire and asus)

    You're totally right, I do have a time machine backup of the RAID0, it was just a first economical solution when I first built my hackintosh, I'm slowly improving the system. I don't know yet if it will be useful to restore a RAID0 again (a clear one, erasing the old) to store big Gb media and...

    R9 280X problems (sapphire and asus)

    My goal is to do a fresh install for Yosemite, as I currently run Mavericks on a RAID0 mechanical couple of disks. I bought a pair of samsung 250 Gb SSDs, one for yosemite and all the apps, and the second one to store the temporary FCPX projects (when the media files are not too big). I will...

    Sorry rwillett, is your version the tri-x one or the Double Dissipation? I'm wondering if is essentially the same, but with different dissipation set,because I can't find the DD here. Thank you
