    Weird double Clover boot menus

    I'm in the same boat as GammaKappa - two stage boot with initial empty Clover menu and then the real deal. It doesn't affect performance but is a bit messy. Any suggestions on rationalising would be great. Running a BIOS only system with legacy settings, and a Samsung Evo 860 boot disk with...

    EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Fan stuck at low speed

    Howdy - I am using an EVGA GeForce GTX 970 with Nvidia web driver 346.03.05f02 on OS X El Capitan 10.11.3. I have been having some stability problems, although generally all seems pretty good. One concern is that Hardware Monitor is telling me that the GPU temperature is getting up into...

    Using hackintosh drive as boot drive for a genuine Mac

    Thanks - I suppose another alternative would be to install Mavericks on a external drive as a boot drive (via my friends Mac Book), boot into it and import all my settings, etc from my Hackintosh (which would be connected to the same same network).

    Using hackintosh drive as boot drive for a genuine Mac

    Howdy - I am going to be travelling and will not have access to my desktop computer. My travelling companion will have a mac laptop. I would like to have access to my apps and my data (for example to to sync and backup my iDevices). If I backup my hard drive to a USB drive, would I be able to...

    Geekbench v. Real Life - Me v. The Mac Pro 2012

    Howdy - I am able to turn out geekbench scores of around 14,500 on my Hackintosh. On geek bench, the new Mac Pros are generating scores of 22,500 to 24,500. What sort of difference would I feel as a user - are the Mac Pros really 50% quicker, or more powerful? Where would I see the performance...

    Still waiting for root device

    You are not alone - same problem - able to install ML, then run Multibeast, then on reboot get "still waiting for root device". A possible cause along with a possible fix are discussed here: http://www.insanlynac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=280062&st=0 There has also been some...

    The Forum "remember me" Login does not work

    Have deleted all tonymacx86 cookies - remembers details for a few revisits and then then requires me to log back in again manually. Using Safari 6.0 and OSX 10.7.4. Any suggestions?

    GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 F12 - can't get past "Still waiting for root device"

    There has been some discussion and suggestions of a possible fix for this problem - yet to apply it myself (not quite sure how to!) but others appear to be having some success: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/63815-still-waiting-root-device-after-multibeast.html...

    Same here - is there any way to avoid this (irritating) problem?

    backing up

    I use SuperDuper - I understand it works much the same as CCC. Using an external (or preferably another internal drive - faster and I know it will work as a boot drive if necessary), do a full back up. I have an SSD for Lion and 2tb drive for Data. I have partitioned another 2tb drive with a...

    Blu-Ray Drive Randomly Reads?

    I have a similar problem with my Sony DVD-RW drive, which otherwise functions perfectly. I have only ever run Lion on this system.

    Ugly horizontal line suddenly appeared on just 1 monitor

    I had a vertical line crop up on a Dell 22 inch Ultrasharp monitor after two and a half years - after a few months, a couple more cropped up - fortunately Dell replaced it under warranty (eventually) with a new 23" Ultrasharp. (Mind you, they sent me three "refurbs" all of which failed...

    iPad charging issues

    I thought that might be the case - I checked and it does charge (as long the it is not on) but, as you say, it is really slow

    iPad charging issues

    Hi All I have been very happy with my recent GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 based build - it is now stable at 4.0 ghz and doing nearly everything I ask of it. One thing it won't do is charge my iPad over USB while the iPad is awake (I know it is probably charging while it is asleep - see here). I have tried...

    Apple Wired Keyboard + GA Sandy Bridge Motherboards

    I had this problem once. Did not have to reboot, but did have to unplug my keyboard and mouse and reconnect to get responsiveness. Being concerned about this problem I hooked up my keyboard and mouse to an external hub (on my monitor) but now find that a double click on the mouse wakes the beast...

    My GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 ~ i5 2500K ~ Radeon 6870 ~ 4.5GHz

    Sorry to report a couple of KPs this evening while playing WOW :( . Have wound the settings back to normal (3.4 ghz, giving @12700 on geekbench) to see whether that is more stable. CPU temps were getting up toward 50C - I thought that was OK. Might have to check for some further possible options...

    My GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 ~ i5 2500K ~ Radeon 6870 ~ 4.5GHz

    Running the full 64 bit (actually paid for!). The updated version reports it the same way, despite the overclock Thanks - I will keep an eye out for any decreased GPU performance coming back from sleep - I had not noticed this - any suggestions for a resolution, other than turning off sleep?

    My GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 ~ i5 2500K ~ Radeon 6870 ~ 4.5GHz

    Used your settings - Geekbench a little over 16500 :D - had one Finder freeze but will persist and see how I go - how are you monitoring CPU temperature etc? I notice everything still says the CPU is running at 3.4 Ghz - which it clearly is not! Performance wise, this geekbench result is...
