If you plan to OC your CPU, look into a cooler. Stock won't do it. Corsair H60 is a pretty good one.

is the system pretty stable at that? Do you see any performance gain from 1333 to 1600? Thanks PG

I too was in the market for an editing/compositing machine. I built mine last week with similar components but with an EVGA 560Ti and the Gigabyte GA Z68X UD3H B3 board. All working! 560Ti if you can fit in the budget, go for it. As an editor, yes FCP(x) is not specific to nVidia but if you...

My BIOS CPU Vcore is 1.345v and set to Auto. QPI/Vtt is 1.050v Any value in setting the memory to XMP Profile 1 and run at 1600 or leave as is? Will I see a performance gain? Thanks

First time OC, Got the system setup with a 43x multiplier (4.3 Ghz) with Intel Turbo Boost Disabled; RAM still running at 1333MHz (not at 1600). Ran Cinebench, Geekbench and Prime for 3 hours. I am running the system with the Corsair H60 Liquid Cooler on it. Are these results okay and around...

I see mention of NullCPUPowerManagement which I installed during initial install. In Multibeast it states that it disables the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. Does that modify the AppleIntel... or just installs the NULLCPU... kext only. To remove this kext from the system, do I just remove the...

Hi, Just popped in the SIIG 3 Port PCIe Firewire Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6815150094. It recognizes the speed in profiler; is able to go to sleep but never wake up from it. It has T.I. Chipset and few have got it to work. Any ideas? Thanks PG

I tried this with my newest 1st build and I got a kernel panic after this. Pic Attached. Any thoughts/ideas on how to fix that or what caused it? Do I have to rebuild? Thanks

Thank you both. With the LnxMac driver from the blog site, it seems to be working okay for now. with this driver, does your sleep/wake work okay? Was it different (or better) with Realtek. If I choose sleep from Apple menu, it sits there and does nothing but mouse freezes. Another click...

Cool.. thanks jester969.. infact I used your build guide to get my system going so far. Thank You. GPU still needs config. EVGA 560Ti. gotta find a guide for that. Last time I ran MB from the desktop, it ran and when "registering components" it failed with Installation Failed message...

Where would I find the LnxMac ktext on my system (sorry new at this). Also, can I just run MB anything even if I booted from my HD or do I have to boot with USB, boot into my HD at bootloader and then run Multibeast? Thanks .. much appreciated
