Hmm well I haven't mounted the standoffs inside yet, so no glue or jb weld etc in there. By centre section I mean the ribbon of metal that makes the main body, so the front mesh, rear panel and top and bottom of the case, I was pretty sure it was just anodised aluminium but I will look into...

Hey all, Firstly thanks to all the amazing people on this forum for helping me get my Hackintosh up and running. I decided I would mod a G5 case and get my full ATX rig installed. Since everyone has seen the many many G5 builds, and Mine won't be anything too unique I won't be doing a...

I was just saying thanks for taking the time to help. I was a bit reluctant to proceed because of the nature of the change. Am I right in saying, this process is changing the device addresses within the DSDT so that OSX basically 'sees' the HDMI port on the Discrete graphics card as an onboard...

Cheers mate. I've checked it out and read through everything. Unfortunately your guide is too vague when it comes to editing the update.txt to patch the dsdt with .. I foudn all the specifics for my set up in IOReg no problem but as I say, I can't follow the guide. thanks

Hi, as per message, this is my IOreg and DSDT. Doesn't match the IO details in your guide so I am stuck before I'm even able to make the DSDT edits. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. No worries if not.

Awesome pictures so so helpful, thank you!!! But, fyi, the main retaining nuts on the support bar are not T10 fit, they are actually HEX head 3mm. If you use a T10 there is the chance you could lunch the driver or the nut. I was removing them today, and although the other case screws, and in...

I'm in the process of modding a g5 case. soooooo many resources. Just google 'g5 atx case mod' or some variation of that and check out the results that point to a forum. there are lots. The usual method is reusing the g5 case standoffs. either in their current positions, or tap them off...

Great advice. I've actually been doing this already, cloned to an external USB drive, so unless I have some bios level usb failure I should be good to go. Ive got an external sata>USB drive mount too, so if it really went bad I could take out the HDD and use another PC to clone my old install...

Cheers mate, got it working by adjusting my sleep state in bios, moded bios, custom DSDT and using IMAC 12,2 smbios.. all good now.. :D

Tried the Mac Pro 5.1 SMBIOS caused a kernel panic at boot. Safe mode in, then used chameleon wizard to change smbios to imac 12,2 .. Well I rebooted.. all worked.. I then put to sleep..... all went quiet... I hit a key,, booom the computer woke up!! :D.. I then tried to put it to sleep...

I was trying to avoid the financial outlay just yet, but I had planned to upgrade the cpu at some point. If I go with HD4000 in a 3rd gen i5. i5-3570k, will this run ok? I did some research and it appears with the latest bios my board should support Ivy Bridge no problem, but have you had...

CHeers, I'll give this a try. Is there a graphics card (cheap) that you know will work with my set up? Also, I can just back up/delete the DSDT from finder right? or do I need to do this in a special way from terminal? cheers

Purely on the Dual boot with Windows front. I have a dual boot system now, with windows on one hdd, and osx on a second hdd. I'm not using SSDs but I do not see that this will make a difference. (I believe for SSD you will need to have a couple of different settings in your bios for TRIM...

I had these issues, with the DVI and VGA ports on my GT 210. However, the HDMI port stayed active and worked. I think this is worth a go. It also worked with an HDMI to DVI lead if your monitor doesn't happen to have an HDMI port. This is now working in ML with no additional driver kexts...

haha, not ideal.. Well I did some checking and it seems my bios does a good job of managing the fan speeds, it was just that when I flashed my modded bios yesterday it reset my fan speeds to FULL rather than manual, or auto. Back on auto and all is good again :-) still would like fan control...
