I am on my Third Hack setup. First was 2500k i5, now a 4 series i5 recently reworked to get to 10.3. I'd like to get further but would need a new GPU ... and then it's really time to move up to 10 series, etc. As frustrating as the new M1 mini is, having no upgrade path I don't plan on a new...

I have a very similar setup and I've lost my audio with 2020-005 10.13.6. I use the standard headphone out, but now only have option for HDMI. Any audio issues for you?

Big Thanks from the Future, worked perfectly. I have a GTX 750 Ti, and was trying to get away without upgrading my card.

I had two issues the needed solving after complete install. The Audio did not work because the kext for my board no longer works [as of May 2020]. My board uses a Realtek ALC 1150, but instead the latest Universal VoodooHDA v2.9.0d10 will work. I found a tutorial to install it later with...

I have a Kingwin 2.5/3.5 hotswap in my case. Does anyone have true hotswap?, I will define that as being able to mount/dismount more than one volume during the course of a single session...[not having to restart the system] After install I found that a drive installed into the unit only...

Todesto, I have the same board... and I have maybe a similar issue. When I got my basic build done, sleep worked perfectly. Then I add a case mounted sata drive sled, that holds a single 2.5 or 3.5 drive. I found that a drive had to be installed at boot for it to be mounted, so I went into...

I used Q-flash, I put the file on usb key that was just formatted as msdos, not bootable. I used disk utility the same machine I updated, an already running lion hacktosh.

I just updated my GA-Z77-ds3h, my board shipped with uefi f5, and f6 was available. I formatted my usb stick as msdos in disk utility in osx. I extracted uefi with stuffit expander as suggested and it went very smoothly. I gave myself a moment of panic when my osx drive would not...

Thanks... I may get the full version and see. Assuming 64 is double 32... then 4500 may be a good result.

hot swap issue I have a z77, and I am also trying to get full hot swap. I have a tray less rack in my case, the kind you can pop 2.5 or 3.5 drives into. The connections are all pass through, so it is essentially an internal drive. I could only get a drive to mount in osx when It was...

Geek bench score? I just completed a successful build, same MB and CPU. I did the free 32 bit only geek bench and got a score of mid 4000's, I've been searching others with the same combo to compare scores. Also curious to see what model identifier other z77/2500k builds have, I notice yours...

I did several searches but did not find any discussion of this: I just completed a successful Build, one of my parts was a tray less hot swap rack.. Kingwin KF-252. this is the type that accepts 2.5 or 3.5 sata drives... they slide about halfway in, a great way for quick access to a naked...

I'd been planning to build a H-tosh for a while. I was planning on doing the 2011 confirmed build. Then agonized over Ivy bridge, but decided to stick with confirmed build. I put everything together at Microcenter, but found that all the z68 MB's were no longer carried. So I grabbed the Z77...
