Re: If intel new X79 support lion? Do you have Any recommendations for graphics cards & Bluetooth? My quadro 4k (Mac) only reads one dvi port... Is nvcap the key? Is it risky to make mistake? And I how did you get Bluetooth working? Iread somewhere installing pc will do the trick .. True? But...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? so my system is now up, in basic form. CS5, FCP, Quartz Composer, VDMX in flying color! audio got ableton with plugs, duet/m audio & internal sound cards working too.. what's still off is the x79 pro bluetooth (it doesn't register as having a module) and...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? Hmm so does it work 64 bit but the system just doesn't acknowledge it? If I pick easy beast do I not need any customizations? Why did you go custom vs EZ? The PCI root fix was the only way I was able to boot into osx after install. Will easy beast solve...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? this worked. thanks1 So now i'm updating with multibeast, and i'm checking out your settings. i see that you didn't use Easy beast or custom DSDT. how are you getting 64 bit support? I may be confused as to how this works, but it seems like i may want to...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? i'm still a little confused at the process of woroking with an external backup. you can use a mac laptop (for example ) to install multibeat & OSX on a partition. then yoy use Carbon copy to port it onto the machine? what about applications? should i...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? @kurtface LOVE IT! yeah, i realize water is the step up, but i was really hoping for a quiet system.. so i'm hoping that the noctua d14 is enough for mild overclocking for now... i hear the h100 is really noisy, is your system the 'davoz' system that was...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? Ooh I'm feeling the magic... Big Props to you pioneers, I've got a 3930k w Asus pro , 32gb rip jaw & quadro 4k dual ssd boot arriving this weekend.... So excited.. 1 question I still have: is 850W enough to handle this setup for normal use ? & overclocking...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? @ kurtface Yes the gt vs quadro debate.. I've only ever used a quadro but from the specs and what I've read it makes me want to re consider. Besides after effect and premiere I will also be doing a lot of cinema 4d and z brush which have high polygon count in...

Re: If intel new X79 support lion? thanks for the reply. it doesn't *seem* too complicated, and i have a friend who just put together the 'recommended' build here on the site. i'm pretty tech savvy, but knowing a few things will help ensure that i won't run into any problems. a few things...
