I think I've finally got it working. I'm using the ASUS unlocked BIOS version 1708 along with the standard i7 SSDT in multibeast. The unlocked BIOS eliminates the need for nullcpupowermanagement or appleintelcpupowermanagement. In the BIOS under "Turbo Ratio" I had to set it to "By Per Core...

I've been messing around with the computer all night and made a little bit of progress. I installed the modified BIOS for my motherboard and reinstalled mountain lion. On the reinstall I just chose the basic SSDT option (not overclocked) as I'd like to just get my 2700k's turbo boost working at...

I have a 2700K on an ASUS P8Z77-V. I thought I had everything figured out but after installing hardware monitor I realized my 2700K is always running at 3.5Ghz. I have the turbo multiplier set to 40 in the BIOS and the voltage set to 1.175v (settings I've thoroughly stress tested in Windows and...

This is what i like to do. I find that stock voltages are almost always way overkill. My 2700K would use 1.280v @ stock settings when turbo boost was going (3.9Ghz) and downvolt to 1.1v @ 1.6Ghz while the computer was idling. Using manual voltage I have the processor running @ 4.00Ghz on only...

If you're going to go with the 3770 (or any ivy bridge) make sure you get one of the z77 boards (the Gigabyte you have listed above is very nice, I'd also recommend the ASUS P8Z77-V Pro). The Z68 was designed more for Sandy Bridge than Ivy Bridge. Not only will you possibly need a bios update to...

I have two hard drives in my hackintosh. The main drive is a 128GB SSD that I have 10.8.2 installed on. The second drive is a 1TB western digital blue that I want to use as an internal storage drive. What specific setting in disk utility do I want to use to format this drive (particularly under...

If this is your first hackintosh your best bet is probably Gigabyte. Because they are more hackintosh friendly, more people tend to use them and it is much easier to get help or find information if you get stuck somewhere. I'm not too familiar with the specific Gigabyte boards as I usually use...

I have an ASUS GTX 660 Ti and mine worked perfectly out of box (running 10.8.2). Only thing you have to do is boot with GraphicsEnabler=No which you can set in multibeast. If you're interested, here's the exact card I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121653 It's a...

Thanks for this advice. I thought FakeSMC was installed by default when I selected "UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation" but I guess it wasn't. I ran multibeast again selecting just the options you mentioned and now iStat Pro is correctly reporting all my temps :D. Also, I managed to get my...

I just finished setting up my first hackintosh using the components listed below: Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V Processor: Intel Core-i7 2700K Video Card: ASUS GTX 660 Ti Memory: 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600Mhz Hard Drive 1: Samsung 830 SSD 128GB Hard Drive 2: Western Digital Blue 1TB Optical...

This solved my problem, I didn't have that set correctly in multibeast. Although I used the patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext instead of the NullCPU. There aren't any problems with this are there? Also, everything appears to be working great but I have to use graphicsenabler=no at boot...

So I finally got it working. Turns out only 2 of the USB ports actually work through the entire install. These were coincidentally the two ports I had my mouse and keyboard plugged into so I never actually tried the USB drive with these two ports. Everything was going smooth; I got 10.8.2...

I'm currently trying to install Mountain Lion on my ASUS P8Z77-V system. I created the flashdrive with a copy of Mountain Lion from the app store. Every time the installer freezes up on the grey screen with the apple logo on it and a little circle with a line through it appears. When I use...
