    What exactly is -f ? Oh and 980 GTX working :)

    I could only boot into Yosemite with my 980 GTX if I used the -f, every single other thing worked fine. Graphics acceleration is present when I use -f. If I do not use -f, using safe mode (-x) or booting from Unibeast and then attempting safe mode on the Yosemite install does not yield a...

    There needs to be a user vote system that allows people that have used or tested a component to rate it, that way we know whether the compatibility isn't just one or two people that say "Success, this motherboard works!", or actually multiple people. Just sayin. I bought the Gigabyte...

    Samsung 840 Pro - Speed testing and Speed degradation

    In case anyone else stumbles across this in the future... I FIXED the SSD speed setting problem. Oddly enough even ought I had never moved the SATA cable to the SSD, I moved the SATA cable to another 6gbps port and booted and viola, back to 550mb read and write. :)

    Samsung 840 Pro - Speed testing and Speed degradation

    Ok I updated to the Marvel 88SE9172 through multibeast, but the speed did not increase or decrease. If I were to do a reinstall of the OS then I know the speed would return to the correct speed, however I would be unable to boot from the SSD without the Mountain Lion USB. :(
