Hi, I'm thinking of getting one of these with the i7-4790K as dabs.com/gigabtye has a cashback promotion. Thing is, I have the 27" Thunderbolt Display and was wondering if this screen would work with this motherboard (using 10.9.4 / HD4600)? Cheers, Simon

Hi, It's going to sound like a daft question but, I'm currently running an GA-X58A-UD3R 2.0 in 10.8.3 with a GT240 & MB 5.2.1 and I'm looking at replacing the GPU with this Sapphire 7770: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009YTT5RW/?tag=tonymacx86-21 There's a lot of discussion about...

looks like the beta 10.8.3 update might resolve that issue, fingers crossed.

Great thread and the G5 looks awesome. I don't have the balls or patience to put something like that together. Just one question BoomR, do you get any of the lag issues with Logic 9.1.8 and the stock EQ's with Analyzer hi-res on? Seems to be a huge discussion on the apple boards about...

Does anyone have any issues with USB 3.0 their UD3R 2.0 FH? I upgraded from SL to ML and my USB 3 ports don't work now. I installed the 3rd party USB 3.0 drivers from the latest Multibeast 5.0.2. USB Super-Speed Bus appears in the system information USB section but the devices attached...

Just out of interest, what FPS do you get with this card?

Having a nightmare with 10.6.8. Got pretty much the same symptons as everyone else with 5770 and not booting up. Just in the process of doing a time machine restore from prior to the upgrade. Hopefully I can get a working machine soon. I think it's Apple's ways of making it a right PITA for...

Install with 4gbs or less, then add the extra memory after - maybe that might work?

Re: eelhead's G5 Case Mod [Done] Hi Eelhead - Thanks for getting back with the photos of your PSU mod. I'll probably do something simular, although I might use the 2 smaller Apple fans instead of the big 120mm on the top. Did you consider using the 2 smaller fans? Cheers, Simon

Thanks mate - the apple logo looked unstretched but it just loked like a 1024x768 picture centered in the middle with a bigger border. :(

Hi, Is there any way reversing this? Mine boot screen is now kinda squashed in the middle of the screen. Thanks

Re: eelhead's G5 Case Mod [Done] Thanks MiniHack - I saw these ones before and although the Mountain Mods look nicer, I think I'll have to go with the cheaper Lian Li's. I still need to get the multi-tool as well so its going to cost a bit. Hi EelHead - I think i understand - if you could...

Re: eelhead's G5 Case Mod [Done] Hi Eelhead - We've pretty much got the same hardware except for the GPU and I just pickd up a G5 case the other day. I've got a couple of questions I'm hoping you might be able to answer? 1. I want to mod my PSU to fit at the bottom of the case, have you...

Hi, I'm looking at replacing my graphics card from the GeForce Gt240 to a XFX Radeon HD 5870 card which is working ok, but it's lags a bit on some programs like Logic Pro. My question is, how difficult would it be to change graphics card within OSX? Would it be a case of swapping the cards...

Thank you Walaw so much for your post and suggestion. All working here now. After going back to 10.6.4 I thought I'd give it another try so installed 10.6.5, UserDSDT FC bios update, Multibeast Chameleon RC5, Rollback 10.6.2 and the new Tony Nvidia graphics drivers. Then booted a USB stick...
