@B-San Glad you got TB up and running on your system! And yea, I experimented with the t-bolt kexts too. I think that one of them in particular causes some issue with recognizing a t-bolt drive on startup (I think ThunderboltNHI.kext or something). So you can either remove just that one or all...

@samtimbaud Hmm... there are a lot of reasons that you could be getting a kernel panic. Is there a particular reason why you need the 5.1 definition? I think 3.1 should work just fine. @davidmoffitt In my experience, you only need to install Windows, run it once, and that is it. On one of my...

Sure, I believe they were like this: Realtek without DSDT ALC898 Disk 3rd Party SATA Miscellaneous FakeSMC FakeSMC Plugins Network Intel - hnak's Boot Options Generate CPU States 1080p Display Power Management Mode Desktop System Definition Mac Pro 5,1

I don't know if it matters but I happen to have Windows installed on its own disk.

My wifi card works very well - I didn't bother with BT though because I already had a little USB adapter working. Check out Kangaroos post for how to. His is a few posts down. @kangaroos - what memory sticks did you end up going with?

I don't think I said anything about loading Thunderbolt kexts from a Macbook Pro. I removed all of those kexts from System/Library/Extensions. Also, in my BIOS, I think I have Ignore Thunderbolt Option Rom Disabled and Security Level set as Unique ID. Not sure if either of those matter but it's...

I'm not really sure what you're saying here. Are you saying Windows recognized the drive through PCIE bridges or not? Because you also say that you weren't able to see it. For one thing, I'm using ML - not Mavericks and Windows 7 - not Windows 8. Although, some folks have reported they got TB...

Look in System/Library/Extensions - there should be 6 Thunderbolt kexts.

I have no idea how Windows is affecting the situation - maybe it alters how the motherboard presents its hardware during the initial boot process? That could be completely wrong... just guessing here. I'm using ML 10.8.5 stevep314, I haven't used a Thunderbolt Display so I don't think I'll be...

I have not tried disconnecting the Windows drive yet - that would be interesting to see what happens. I've got an 850W power supply though so I'm not sure I will test that out as it's not consuming much resources.

See my post here about achieving Thunderbolt functionality on the Z87X-UD5-TH board.

See my post here for a possible solution to Thunderbolt functionality on this board.

I've been trying to get the Thunderbolt ports working on my Z87X-UD5-TH for about a week and I think I've come across something worth sharing. A few months ago, I built a Hackintosh using the Z77X-UP4-TH and it has fully functioning TB ports (no hot swap as usual). What was interesting though...

I've been trying to figure out how to get the thunderbolt ports functional on the Z87X-UD5-TH over the past week or so. Fortunately, I believe I've figured out how to do so: you need a Windows installation. If you attach the device, boot into Windows, have windows recognize the PCIE Bridge...
