    [Success] Asus Z97-Pro + i7-4790 + Intel HD 4600

    Not beyond what's above. It worked out of the box for me. (That said, it's not working right now because of an NVIDIA GTX760; with the BIOS settings above, the whole system only uses 20W--25W at idle so I'm just leaving it on.)

    [Success] Asus Z97-Pro + i7-4790 + Intel HD 4600

    I gave up on USB through Thunderbolt and changed to a proper Apple Bluetooth + WIFI card for Apple keyboard + mouse but no problems at all since then. Have only used occasional USB gear, though. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by spleen.

    Wake-up GTX 760 on Z97-Pro

    Thanks for your sleep confirmation. All I did for the Thunderbolt II card are the relevant BIOS settings in my build thread and moving AppleThunderboltNHI.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions (and into storage) and then rebuilding the relevant system files by starting Kext Utility. I'm not...

    Wake-up GTX 760 on Z97-Pro

    I recently added a GTX 760 card to take over the duties of my HD 4600 IGP. Everything worked out of the box even before including the IGPEnabler=No option through MultiBeast, except I have one problem. My problem is that the machine no longer wakes from sleep. Instead the wake-up fails almost...

    Dual Screen Problem on HD4600 - Yosemite 10.10 / Asus Z97 Pro (Wi-fi AC) / i7 4790k

    I've found the HDMI port on this board to be problematic, at least with Chimera. Both DVI and DisplayPort work as expected for me.

    [Success] Asus Z97-Pro + i7-4790 + Intel HD 4600

    Yes. Mind you, I have specific needs (occasional video production and processing) and have not pushed to get everything working 100%. What I have used it for, I've been happy with. It seems to have been equally solid with BIOS 1204 and 1304.

    ASUS ThunderboltEX II PCIe Expansion Card - Testing Thread

    I've had it working off a GT9600, but poorly.

    tonymacx86's ASUS Test Build: Z97-A - i3-4340 - HD4600 - Thunderbolt EX II

    I can confirm that the Asus Z97-Pro board does have the CFG-lock option, that it is disabled by default, and that the MB works with the ThunderboltEX II card. I have checked with the Apple ethernet adapter and the Apple Thunderbolt Display. More details at...

    Mavericks 10.9.4 Asus Z97-C HD 4600 Cannot get to installer

    There seems to be something slightly fishy about how the Z97-Pro prioritizes the graphics ports. The priority seems to be DP > HDMI > DVI. I didn't succeed with an HDMI install but I thought it could have been because it was also run through a switch (with audio splitter). I did several installs...

    Mavericks 10.9.4 Asus Z97-C HD 4600 Cannot get to installer

    I had the same happen to me with one OCZ SSD, not with another OCZ model, and never with my current (non-OCZ) SSD. Could be coincidence ...

    [Success] Asus Z97-Pro + i7-4790 + Intel HD 4600

    A quick listing of my experiences with this combo: it seems a pretty good fit, basically. (An earlier version of this build included an Apple Thunderbolt Display through a ThunderboltEX II card connected to DisplayPort; I've abandoned this due to niggles: no-sleep, freezes, and more.) The...

    Mavericks 10.9.4 Asus Z97-C HD 4600 Cannot get to installer

    You do not appear to state in any of your postings that you've tried with IGPEnabler=No. Anyway, if you've run MultiBeast several times, I gather you may have accrued some crud that could affect your current installation. If the only option you see is to walk away, you may want to try the...
