I'm using a GTX 460 with 1GB of VRAM, which is another in the long line of Fermi cards that have had issues with OSX dating back to Snow Leopard. After running Mountain Lion nearly full time for a week on my workstation, the only graphic bug that arose was a 10 second freeze after waking my...

I would personally stick with NTFS because it is more robust than FAT32. To allow OSX to make use of that format, install Tuxera NTFS for Mac. They have a long history developing the open-source NTFS-3G. Another alternative is using EXFAT, which both systems support. The only issue with that...

Has anyone tried editing the voltages on their cards to ensure that the freeze/crashes aren't caused by wild swings in OSX's power management? I booted into Windows to show you what I've edited. While this didn't give me complete stability against the Fermi Freeze in either Snow Leopard or Lion...

So I had a tiny issue coming out of a 3D screensaver where the monitor also shut down due to energy saver timings. After waking back up, the screen froze for a few seconds but the mouse still moved. About 15 seconds later everything went back to normal with no corruption on the screen. My...

As with nearly all issues involving nvidia cards it's a driver and/or voltage issue. Once the card is recognized by OSX the bootloader has zero involvement.

Have any of you installed Kozlek's version of FakeSMC and the accompanying sensors to note the frequencies - and subsequently which states - your video card hits around the time it start corrupting or freezing? That could be a helpful way to troubleshoot and see if there's any similarities...

use it paired with the Apple Keyboard and Trackpad. does not work in BIOS, but i don't think many (any?) USB bluetooth dongles do, either.

I use a $2 bluetooth nub purchased years ago off focalprice that hasn't failed me on Windows or OSX. http://www.focalprice.com/CB006B/Mini_USB_20_Bluetooth_V20_EDR_Dongle_Wireless_Adapter_Black.html

I have the same USB-bluetooth nub packaging and a similar Cambridge bluetooth chip inside that has worked fine on my hackintosh for years. Perhaps this kext will help - it tricks OSX into believing that the Cambridge chip is a genuine Apple Bluetooth module and loads Apple's native bluetooth...

yes - buy a motherboard with a newer chipset that lets you use Intel's integrated GPU. the P67 series doesn't.

nope. it's likely the timing issue may or may not be triggered by a cold boot or a restart from a working OSX instance. i am able to boot 10.8 off an ESATA drive without needing the patch or Lion drivers, and once there, can reboot to chameleon and select the a 'clean' 10.8 install without...

Do you own a gigabyte board? There seems to be a timing bug in the 10.8 ACHI drivers. You can either use appleahciport and ioahcifamilly from 10.7, or by running BCC9's patch on the current 10.8 ACHI driver here - http://bit.ly/QCQvVy The patch works perfectly on my system, and I've not had...

just using GE=Y in Chameleon/Chimera. no extra files to activate my video card for OSX. my GTX460 loses power-management once it transitions from an OpenCL/3D screensaver that subsequently shuts off the monitor. using an edited AGPM fixes this, with the card returning to its idle clock a few...

Through HWMonitor - it's the evolution of FakeSMC with the addition of a bunch of hardware monitor sensors and an accompanying menubar app that tells you in real time whatever you choose. As you can see from my attached screenshot, the program is reporting to me the CPU's multiplier (16x) and...

you needn't stress too much about this. long as your system jumps between the lowest and highest p-states as load ramps up, adding all the various p-states between is rather meaningless on desktop computers. i searched out a solution to have my system (identified as an iMac12,1) utilize an...
