Ok, having a go at this again, since my PSU died and since the diagnostic stage removing stuff Windows things its now a pirate copy... (which its not) and Microsoft activation hotline hangs up on you after you do all the automated bit... Using 10.9 with latest Unibeast 6.1.0, using suggested...

My problem turned out to almost certainly be that I am using a 660 (not a TI) card, I plan to update nvidia driver in the installer or get cheapest card with native support.

So I went with a UP4 but can't get it to install, it hangs up at the PCI stage and no amount of tweaking or disabling of bios options seems to make it go any further (see http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/86733-ga-x79-up4-stuck-pci-configuration-begin-install.html). My...

Sadly, no. I spent some time on it, and concluded that the board has some incompatibility in some way. I have loaded Win7 on the machine as I have to get some work done more than I need to experiment with OS-X - I built it to edit my photos and videos and I would rather have OS-X but provided...

Thanks milddleman. Running bios F2 - others succeeded at this level, only other is F3 which is specific fix and a BETA so I avoided. Will check speedstep - dont remember BIOS option for it vt-d etc is off no bluetooth with this board need the onboard LAN need the USB3 legacy support...

Hi All, So first post, first hackingtosh. Done plenty of reading, lots of research again after this is not working, and I must be missing something really basic which is why the post as I am stuck and fed up of rebooting with different parameters! Hopefully someone can show me the error of...
