Just curious how you setup the hardware RAID volumes on this on a Mac Pro if the BIOS setup screens are unavailable. Also, I'm wondering if the BIOS can be disabled so you can just use this card as a standard 4 port host controller.

I think the graphics cards are just W9000 6gb workstation class cards (very expensive). Apple probably contracted a board maker to lay it out and use a pci-e connector on the end. They've truly taken the macpro and made it something only a professional would buy..e.g..the prosumer/gamer...

Whole lot of bad advice in this thread....run away.

I wonder if GB is actually putting any effort into fixing the UEFI issues or if U1H is it for this board. They are obviously not selling them anymore, I mean what's in it for them right? Kinda sad.

Article: Nvidia Releases Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Graphics Drivers I've only done some limited testing, but these drivers appear to have resolved my micro-stutter issues in Guild Wars 2 and my GTX670. There was no miracle increase in fps, but everything does seem smoother in game.

This actually turned out to be a really good tip - thanks. You don't need the IMac12,2 smbios, you can do this for any model identifier I think. I did it for my MacPro5,1 smbios - you just need to edit the appropriate plist in that directory. Just cut and past the "Data" portion of whats...

Becuase the hardware works as expected when booted into Windows 7 that has me thinking this is more a BIOS/hw initialization issue...but who knows. I almost returned the board for a z77 UD5 but rembered I got it on sale for $75 so I'm just going to live with it !

I do have this issue with my AAK and mouse and my rev 1.3 board and 10.7.4/10.8. I have my internal ethernet disabled. I use a genuine apple airport extreem card mounted to a PCIe carrier for my network access. The USB issue annoying but manageble. I either have to a.) wake from the power...

what i've noticed with bdmesg is that it will report correct p-state table creation, but when you use something like MSRDumper or HWMonitor, you'll see that only a couple are being used (when over clocking)

"copy all aml files to flash disk with Clover." What is this and why are you doing it? Are you suggesting to create a DSDT and SSDT from a dump in windows and use it with a boot loader?

Format your target Windows 7 drive as MBR. Disconnect all internal drives accept the one you are going to install on and your DVD. Install Windows 7 as normal. Reconnect your boot drive that has Chimera on it and set it as the first drive to boot. It will automatically see your Windows 7...

Yes, with a z68 board and UEFI bios. The original post is still valid.

Nevermind

Well if your whole question is when/if he is going to get around to rolling you a dsdt, why not just send him a forum PM? My point is the whole UEFI bios thing for z68 boards is still pretty new and most of them (beta or not) have the same issues like your experiancing.

Fixing this so others don't get confused.
