Though I've seen this to be a common opinion, somehow I doubt it's because one of the companies is 'upset' or there is 'ill will'. It's a small playing field and there are not that many players at that level. Even if NVidia lost these rounds, I'm sure they'll keep on courting Apple, and Apple on...

From personal experience, I don't think that's true. Maybe I suck at finding good deals, but GTX970 is roughly double the price of GTX750Ti. Somehow GTX970/980/980Ti prices are still way too much for old cards. My old GTX670 died, and I had to change my graphics card urgently. After debating...

Have a feeling the 'golden era' of Hackintosh's is behind us. AMD cards don't let sleep work. And for latest Nvidia cards you have to go the cable-switching route. My old GTX670 just died few days ago. So I'm forced to upgrade the GPU. My cheap Korean 1440p monitor doesn't have a scaler and so...

I have exactly the same issue on this motherboard. USB Header 1 (USB30_1) does not work with in OSX (Mavericks), but works in windows 7. Headers 2 and 3 work fine in in both. Disabling xhci in BIOS makes all headers work in OS X. But that reverts all ports to USB2.0. Is there a way to turn on...

I'm posting my alphanumeric file that I used for injection, along with my org.chameleon.boot.plist for reference. I using the Z77x-UP5 TH motherboard with Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz HD 4000 Graphics and Nvidia GTX670. ---------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist...

@Axiom - Yes, your links were perfect, and in fact helped in writing the tutorial :D. However, I ended up writing it anyway in the hope that others don't make the same mistake as I was. Most tutorials I found show how to inject just one device ID, but do not mention that you cannot inject two...

Here is the tutorial as requested. These are the instructions on how to insert Ethernet EFI. Please have backups before you begin :). A couple of things to know – 1. What we are doing here is telling the OS that the installed ethernet card (such as the NC360T) is the primary network...

I used to have the same problem when I had initially installed the card. It used to fail on heavy loads. Then I reinstalled the OS and this time did two things (which is the right way to do it) - 1. Disable the internal motherboard LAN. Mac OS does not like three ethernet ports. On 10.8.2 I...

It might be related to a bug that is known to exist on 10.8.2. Many people with 'regular' Macs are reporting that on 10.8.2 the computer wakes up when 'Wake for network access' is turned on, and even freezes on some of those instances. My computer wakes up too in about two hours, and then goes...

Sorry for the last response. Was traveling the last few days and so was not on the computer much. I'll surely write one for you. Please bear with me for a day or two. Will post it soon.

For those using the HP360T, I have an update - I reinstalled 10.8.2 this week, and did some testing. Here are my findings for those interested - 1. Mac OS does not like three ethernet ports. You will start getting kernel panics. Since the 360T has 2 ethernet ports, when using this card...

Good question :). But unfortunately, I have no clue. My hunch is that if the motherboard sees something plugged in, it will reduce the bandwidth. If your BIOS allows individual control of PCIe slots, then disabling it in BIOS would be better. The best way to check might be to run cinebench with...

Have been scouring the net for a solution. I too have freezing that occurs after hours of sleeping. Turns out it is a bug in 10.8.2. There are numerous long threads on Apple support boards. Supposedly apple is aware of the issue and will fix it soon. Various people have been blaming graphics...

I finally gave up trying to fix the bluetooth (and random freezing) issues with my desktop and installed everything again. Glad I did it, cause bluetooth seems to be working much better now. Bluetooth has been relatively stable except for one or two instances. Even though my original issue might...

Great mod. I stripped out the IR receiver from my old iMac, before I sent it for recycling. Then I spliced one end of a regular USB cable, soldered the receiver wires to the USB cable. Then I put the receiver inside an old bicycle backlight :D (stripped out the LEDs, and drilled a hole at the...
