Bump?

G'day all, I am having an issue with my dual GPU set up (I think?). While general web browsing, playing with iTunes or something simple like that, I have no issues with my Hack. However, while I am video editing in FCPX, I will get random monitor shut downs. The monitor, a Visio 42" 4K TV, will...

G'day all. I have been successfully running my Hack for a few years now. Mostly used for FCPX. I love my 2 graphics cards but was considering swapping out my i5 4670k for an i7 4790k Devils Canyon LGA1150 My question is, if I were to undertake such a transplant, would I have to do a fresh...

Well, I figured it out. Thanks to you both for your help. I managed to get into the "other" folder and upgraded to Sierra. I'm typing this from my new UPDATE (not fresh install) Cheers J

I'm not quite sure how to do that now that I can't boot to the drive. Is there a way to save my install or should I just do a fresh one? Cheers J

Thanks again. Did all that and now I'm just getting a white screen with the beach ball. I thought I would just do an install from scratch but it won't get past Well I must have done something wrong. All I get now is a white screen and a spinning beach ball. I will be making a bootable USB...

Thanks for the link. Clover is now updated. I checked in my KEXT folder to copy to folder "OTHER" per Tony Mac's guide but there is nothing in there to copy. Now that Clover is updated, do I just download and install via App Store? Cheers

I would like to update my Yosemite Hack to Sierra. I have been doing my research but I am confuse by the term "Native". My install is via Clover. To me, at least, native would mean to click the update button and be done. After reading and reading and reading it seems though, that native means...

Just for anyone who might come across this question I figured it out. The boot order in the UEFI got messed up after I swapped out one storage SSD for a gigger one (not my boot SSD, just extra internal storage). I disconnected all the peripherals except the BOOT drive and set that to #1 slot...

Sorry, I didn't know what to title this question so here goes. I disconnected power and I removed a small 120GB SSD and replaced it with a 1TB SSD. After installing, I couldn't boot the Hack. All I got was "please restart your computer or connect boot device and press enter" (or words to that...

Thanks for your tips guys. I have turned BG rendering off and will try using it sparingly. I have clocked the CPU to 4.0 gHz Temps are at about 64C when running BruceX so I could could probably clock a little higher. Tallen, I am not using an SSD but am looking for a 1TB Evo 850 as we speak...

Dragon, Here is my situation. Maybe I'm being impatient. I just now, ran the BruceX test and from Share to Quick Time opening with the finished project was 11.8 seconds. I think that's quite fast. My issue is not with the final share but the work flow. I use a lot of affects...

Cheers Dragon, Would I be better off with Mountain Lion then? Or, is there another way to make the GPUs work harder?

G'day all and Merry Christmas. As you can see in my specs I have an i5 4670k LGA1150 Haswell. I would like my FCPX to render a little faster (a lot faster if possible). FCPX is just about the only thing I use the Hack for hence the pair of GPUs I chose. Would I benefit greatly from changing...

I am still running iOS 8x on my iPhone 6 plus due to Jailbreak. I don't need the extras of iOS 9 and the iPhone is running so smoothly right now. For the same reason, I am still running Yosemite on my Hack. I don't need the extras and she is running so nice right now thanks to you guys in the...

Here are two screen shots. One of the About This MAC and one of the Graphics cards. Shouldn't the About This MAC show closes to 6000mb Vram? They are 3GM of RAM each. J

Happy New Year! I have a quick question for you Rob, My system specs only seem to be seeing 1 of the cards. It shows up as "AMD Radeon HD 7xxx 3072 MB" but I have 2 cards installed. Should the system spec reflect both cards? Graphics/Displays under "hardware" shows 2 cards but both are in PCIe...

Rob, I don't know the SKU but the exact brand and model are ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5 Graphics Cards I bout 2 of them used from eBay from the same private vendor. They both are installed and work OOB Cheers J edit; they are the ATi SERIES cards if that makes a difference here is a link...

Thanks to the Christmas rush hours by the USPS crew, my 2 x ASUS R280X cards turned up 3 days early. Installed a larger PSU and both cards, one in the x16 slot and one in the x8 slot (my card doesn't have 2x16's) and fired her up. Booted straight away with no extra commands, kexts or otherwise...
