    motherboard replacement from ex58 to x58a?

    Hello Going Bald, since our configuration is so similar, may I ask what OS version are you using? I'm on High Sierra, and just installed TurboTax 2019, and it showed TurboTax 2020 will require Mojave. Everytime I upgrade OS version, it gave me problems.

    motherboard replacement from ex58 to x58a?

    I also built mine with an i7 in Dec 2009, and later switched to x5670. I see x5690 on Amazon for $1xx - tempting. Somehow at the time I bought the ex58 instead of x58a. X58A definitely is a better choice. The build is so solid and it just works for 95% of my use case. The 5% being final cut pro...

    motherboard replacement from ex58 to x58a?

    You are right - Can't find anything on Amazon nor newegg, etc. There are some "factory refurbished" from China on ebay for $200. Not sure if it's worth it for a board that is 10 years old.

    motherboard replacement from ex58 to x58a?

    Thanks for the heads up! I am contemplating a new build but I feel like this small investment can still run a few years.

    Thanks toleda - I reinstalled just the audio - which I have done before, at least twice alone, but this time it works.

    No Audio Devices - AppleHDA Realtek Audio

    Description of audio problem - A 12 hour power outage likely drained the battery on the 10 year old EX58-UD5. I'm not sure if this is related, but High Sierra (10.13.6) losts all audio outputs. It was working fine months prior to the power outage. Another weird symptom is in Clover boot menu...

    EX58-UD5 graphics card update from 5850 to 760?

    Hi, I'm currently using GA-EX58-UD5 with HIS ATI HD 5850. I have three monitors and they are working perfectly on Yosemite. I'm planning on upgrading to a 4k monitor, but I can't unless I upgrade my graphics card. I'm eyeing on a GTX 760 OC card which should support 4k on display port. A...

    Painful path from Yosemite to El Capitan on EX58-UD5.

    EX58-UD5 F13 i7520 ATI 5850 Man, I have to say this is probably the most painful upgrading experience since my first Hackintosh since 2009. I can boot into system with the USB drive, but the system won't boot from the system drive, with AppleUSBUHCIPCI issue (picture attached). I...

    3rd monitor goes to sleep after waking up for a minute

    Hi, I'm having some issue with my newly added 3rd monitor. It works only when I unplug and replug the monitor on DP. When I restart the computer, the middle monitor (DVI 1920x1080) goes shattered images, and monitor info is showing incorrect resolution being used. I had to unplug and replug...

    How to change the default boot volume after switch HDDs?

    Hi, I have recently added a new drive to my hackintosh, and used the carbon copier to duplicate my old OS drive to the new one and everything works fine. However, the boot loader is still trying to start from the old one and I have to manually change the boot drive every time the computer...
