Thank you for the guide, it was really helpful. I've built a machine with the same MB+Processor, but I encountered a problem with Generate CPU states that gave me kernel panics. I've narrowed it down to the Turbo option in bios (while I had Turbo turned on in Bios I couldn't boot...

There's someone that added this piece of information in the comments on my post: '...got a little bit unlucky and ended up with a REV1.1 board from gigabyte. The REV1.1 board uses the Atheros AR8161 LAN chip that isn’t supported. Ended up buying the TP-Link 4800 card to get online.' You...

I would recommend using separate hard-drives for dual-booting purposes. I tried to dual-boot a long time ago (snow leopard time) and due to the amount of time I had wasted just trying, I went out and purchased a 2nd hard-drive. And that's the exact same method I'm using now, with switching...

I've succesfully installed the VIA audio board on GA-Z77X-D3H (not the same board, but the same audio card). Written the process here: http://mehigh.biz/hackintosh/mountain-lion-on-gigabyte-ga-z77x-d3h-tutorial.html I tried the best I could to explain the process I had gone through while also...

I got the sound working on this board in Mountain Lion using the following kexts (and instructions): http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=3041 It's basically a tweaked AppleHDA and a .kext file created for VIA2021 cards. I've written in the comments what additional steps I needed...

I got ML running 'almost' on this board (GA-Z77X-D3H, without the "U"), but it still contains Atheros network card and VIA sound board. It would be less of a hassle to install ML on the boards recommended in the Buyer's Guide 2012 (as they have the Realtek sound card which is easier to...

This board surprised me as well. As a matter of fact I had a Mountain Lion install running on Core 2 Duo E8400 on top of a DP35DP Intel MB. I swapped it with this board + an ivy bridge processor, and Mountain Lion booted successfully only without audio and networking. I've ran MultiBeast...

I got the sound working on this board in Mountain Lion using the following kexts (and instructions): http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=3041 (I've written in the comments what additional steps I needed to make in my own particular setup). It sounds great (only needed 2 ch out...

One small note - It upgraded successfully to 10.7.2 without any glitches. Only down side is that 'shut down' actually issues a reboot.

I'm attaching the multi-beast settings I used to set up Lion on: Intel DP35DP Geforce 9500GT SSD (therefore the Trim addition). VoodooHDA enabled onboard audio hnak's AppleIntelE1000e Ethernet enabled onboard ethernet EasyBeast Install was required to avoid kernel panics (installed it like 5...

Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe you're running a patched kernel, right? Or with the latest version of Snow Leopard that is no longer necessary (as they already released macbook pro's based on sandy bridge and snow leopard) ?
