Speed! :) plus at the time i thought nvme drives topped out at 500gig but i need 1Tb on my main drive

Thanks for the reply. As RehabMan has mentioned i don't think hardware raid is possible at all :( And and don't think there is any greater source of knowledge on this matter. I found out that Samsung have a 1Tb version of the 960 Evo so will probably go done that path instead with my next build

Anyone? Surprised no one has tried or attempted this type of configuration

You need to backup your files as the install will reformat your drive. I would suggest you get a 2nd drive so you can dual boot

The board is supported. Suggest you look at this thread to begin with https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/

After a very generous tax return I though i would upgrade my "old" late 2014 Hackintosh to a bigger beast The main build will be based on a 7700k processor running on a Gigabyte - GA-Z270X-Gaming K5 Motherboard I plan to use 2 x Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 drives Though the motherboard...

Post OS X Yosemite Cinebench CPU and Graphics Benchmarks Your Mac Type makes a difference too. As a Mac Pro 3,1 I was getting about 20fps less in cinebench. Changing to an iMac 12,1 increased my benchmarks significantly

I have to agree. Setting my Mac to a Mac Pro 6,1 resulted in my computer losing network connection on wakeup from sleep. Setting to iMac 12,2 gave me far greater Geekbench as well as Cinebench results. Much happier with the resultant build now. Not even sure I wish to overclock as the...

Post OS X Yosemite Cinebench CPU and Graphics Benchmarks Here are mine :)

Yes it's the Z97i and besides having the WORST placement of connectors I have seen for a Mini-ITX board it was a fairly painless process to get Yosemite up and running I have the same Wifi/BT module and reading the MSI website I see nowhere where it says the WiFi Card is a Broadcom BCM94352...

I got the information from this guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/bios-uefi/143167-msi-9-series-motherboards-os-x-setup-configuration.html Looking at the MSI website. All the Wi-Fi/BT modules are based on the Intel 7260 chipset. So not sure why an official article has incorrect information...

Sorry for highjacking the thread but I'm looking at replacing my MSI Z97i Gaming ITX board with the Asus z97 Maximus VII Impact Besides the Ethernet issue listed here. Everything else installed without any major drama? It looks a great board, hence the reason for the upgrade

Hi all, I currently have a nice little Mini-ITX build running with an MSI Z97i Gaming AC board inside a Corsair 250D case To cut a long story short. The position of the connectors with my choice of case is doing my head in in regards to cable management. Basically it sucks Research has lead...

While a different board I had no issues installing with the GTX970 installed From memory my flags were nv_disable=1 GraphicsEnabler=No -x -v After install I downloaded the NVIDIA drivers and rebooted with the nvda_drv=1 flag

Might sound a stupid question but my recent build is defaults to a Mac Pro 3,1 as the type of Mac I have. It's a fairly fast build with a 4790k i7 as well as a GTX970 GPU So would be make a difference if I was to re identify the build as a 6,1?

Sound works with Multibeast and use the ALC1150 (as well as optional 3 Port (5.1 Audio)) Wifi I used a Dlink DWA-160 and for BT an IO Gear BT 4.0 USB connector The dlink you need to load a 3rd party KEXT to get it running. The included drivers WILL NOT Work

I'm not sure what went wrong but the upgrade went off without a hitch and i lost sound (as expected) as well as my NVIDIA drivers for the GTX970. A Reboot loaded fine (without sound) and NVIDIA graphics reloaded without a hitch. I then loaded mulitbeast and reinstalled the audio drivers...

Was this tested to see if it was true? Looking at the Gaming 9 link it says "The MSI GAMING motherboards come with an easily unpluggable Intel® Wi-Fi / Bluetooth module which also supports Intel® WiDi (stands for Wireless Display)." So they are not based on Broadcom BCM94352 HMB/AzureWave...

i think the preferred method is to install with the onboard video 1st and then add the GPU 2nd. So I think you have answered your own question I only did it the way I did as didn't read the documentation!!
