    Best CPU/Mobo for High Sierra Build (I need NVIDIA)

    Thanks for that. I should have mentioned that I intend to replace (more or less entirely) my current Z68 setup, motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU eventually, etc. The current Z68 setup will have a new life at the heart of an Unraid setup. I've edited my initial post to clarify.

    Best CPU/Mobo for High Sierra Build (I need NVIDIA)

    What is the most recent/most powerful CPU and Motherboard I can run with High Sierra? Is Coffee Lake an option with High Sierra? A lot of the Golden Builds are focused on Mojave and newer, which is cool, but I'm sticking with High Sierra for NVIDIA because I need it for the CUDA cores for...

    [In Progress] Ascending El Capitan with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and core i7 2600K from 10.7.4

    Glad to hear it, dell500! Yeah, I think the kernel panic thing can be really scary, but once you identify the cpu seems like things go more smoothly. I'm still getting intermittent Finder lock-ups. Very few and far between. I haven't been able to figure out a common trigger. What's weird is that...

    [In Progress] Ascending El Capitan with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and core i7 2600K from 10.7.4

    Awesome! Old school. Yeah, things were a bit more rough and tumble back then. Glad yours is working so well and went smoothly. If I'm giving advice it would be to do what powerpcg5 did. My system is running fairly smoothly now, but it was an awful lot of work getting it there.

    [In Progress] Ascending El Capitan with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and core i7 2600K from 10.7.4

    Best of luck! I was dumb. I picked UEFI and then upgraded my motherboard. Retrospect tells me this was a painful decision as I had taken steps to ensure my old install would still be functional while I monkeyed with this new OS. I was naive or brave or impatient and my reward has been a lot of...

    [In Progress] Ascending El Capitan with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and core i7 2600K from 10.7.4

    Update: I got my EVGA GTX 980 Working. In a related story, you're going to love it. So I was anticipating great pain. Getting my ATI card to talk to my first system was a bit of a bear. Here's the steps I took: Shut down the machine. Pulled the old card. Installed the new card. Power on...

    [In Progress] Ascending El Capitan with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and core i7 2600K from 10.7.4

    Update. I got my audio working. In a related story, you're not going to like it. Basically follow the instructions to install El Capitan and do the CustomMac Essentials. In looking up this problem I found this thread which had the same motherboard as mine but a different problem in that there...

    [In Progress] Ascending El Capitan with GA-Z68XP-UD3 and core i7 2600K from 10.7.4

    This is eventually going to be a guide for installing and it's going to say "Success" up there. It doesn't say that yet, and this will be a document of my progress with this hardware with the specific side-steps and caveats that I encounter as I go. Update: I got my audio working with MaciASL...

    GA-Z68XP-UD3 - Network stops working

    I think pulling the MB battery may have worked! My last procedure: 1a. Disconnected ethernet 1b. Shut off the the power supply 1c. Pulled the power 1d. Popped the little battery out 2. I was going over to a friend's to watch Hannibal anyway, so I left it for hours. 3a. Popped the battery back...

    GA-Z68XP-UD3 - Network stops working

    I really appreciate you linking those resources. I'm not using the Lnx2Mac drivers, but am using a GA-Z68XP-UD3 running 10.7.4 with a Multibeast setup. My machine had been running beautifully for months until I had the power go out at my house a couple days ago. Now the Ethernet doesn't seem to...

    OSX on a Microsoft Surface Pro

    Amazing work, fellas. I must say, I'm finding myself very tempted to try the Gendo method for multiboot. I've been looking at investing in a tablet (~$700) and would love to have an OS X tablet with a stylus. I have three questions: 1) How stable are you finding your experience to be with it...

    Radeon HD 6870 Dual monitor (DVI) not working SOLVED

    Dear aedon, You, sir, are a god among men. I would like very much to buy you a beer or three. I've been trying to get this to work for weeks and getting very frustrated in the process. Was trying to figure out if I had to flash the card, etc. There were hex editors and then the kext freaked out...

    how to run OSX with one GTX680 and Windows with SLI ?

    I really do hope you can figure out the CUDA rendering solution. Isn't that, like, 3072 CUDA cores? Ridonkulous. *fingerscrossed*

    Ubermick's Build: i7 3770K//Z77X-UP5-TH //GTX 670 OC

    I have not. I did have ML working for a little while there (without GPU,) but regressed to 10.7.4 before I installed the card. I'm pretty pleased with the card so far. Wasn't expecting too much, but it's currently driving a 27" (2550X1400) and a 24" (1920X1080) no problems. System is rock solid...

    Budget 27" IPS Monitors

    Ordered a ACHIEVA Shimian QH270-Lite "PERFECT PIXELS" 27" LED DVI 2560 x 1440 PC Monitor from eBay for a bit more than the others ($379.99 USD.) I'm a graphic designer and 3D artist so stuck pixels are pretty annoying and it was worth the extra dough. Wasn't sure if the power brick which was...
