Set Optimal Default in bios and disable Internal Graphic Card. Last but not least, be patient with time needing to see the setup screen.

I did had this problem with my first attempt, and i had to reinstall. No matter what parameters and settings i changed, it kept loading only via safe mode. Maybe it had to do that i had 2 simultaneously wrong settings. One with monitor connection and the wrong setting with "VT-d disabled".

Unfortunately my friend, i haven't got any guide for this Hackintosh. It was my first try with Tony tutorial and went really well, after some KEXTs installation. :) Yes HD Youtube playback is smooth either on 10.8 and 10.9 Bellow is my Graphics Cards System Report. NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290...

What Graphics Card output do you use ? It is important to NOT use VGA output with Internal Graphics Display. If you did so, you have to reinstall OSX with the correct display output connected (HDMI-DVI). Also, before you try so, set Bios to Optimized Defaults. :thumbup:

As for CPU, i have never try such an installation, but i am willing to hear news from you, if you try it. :thumbup: See this thread for more info... For GPU, every nvidia is fully recommended.:) Good Luck, and don't forget to inform us with your progress... :thumbup:

Yes my friend it is a full working Hackintosh. Though now it is 10.9.2 machine and not a SL. But it was full working with 10.8.5. And in fact, it is my working machine at work.:thumbup:

After update to 10.9.2 you have to reinstall audio, wi/fi and trim support. After all, it is a nice working 10.9.2 machine. :)

Thanks for your comment. I didn't face such a problem, i think just luck, and i didn't know the solution. :) Thanks a lot again. :thumbup:

Thanks for your comment. I selected only v100302 but i took wrong screenshot...:roll: Thanks a lot for your correction. :)

I always prefer lower spec CPU if i don't really need the performance gap that next step offers. BUT... i think it's just my objective opinion. As for example, when i build, for my 9 years old son, a Dual Boot Hackintosh, this Christmas, i preferred i3 CPU with high Speed Clock and a very good...

Go For it... No problem at all... :thumbup: I Personally prefer Gigabyte for Hackintosh projects.

I just upgrade the OS to OSX 10.9.1 with success. I Also Add Vga Card, Nvidia Gigabyte GTX 650 OC Edition 1Gb GDDR5, and disable 4600 Internal GPU. It was just a streamline procedure with no odd things. :) I Wish Everyone a Nice 2014 with Love, Full Of Health and... full of Mac...:D

Yes it's the same mother board with only different focus on the number of outputs and expansions. I wish you everything goes well. Don't forget to disable VD-T before start the installer. It was the only thing that made me search around for troubleshooting. Good luck ! :wave:

Perfect, nice guide.
