Microcenter - In store only. That said, this is not something they advertise or officially offer. I'm taking advantage of a technicality. And it just happens that the store close to my house have employees that don't ask questions.
I have the same board. Search for my posts, I've written a lot and they might help.
I've upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion to Mt. Lion with not many problems.
A few things:
1. You will need to run Multibeast and Install AppleHDA rollback after installing a combo update. (And before...
Thanks for the reply.
When I bought my CPU and MB, I bought an extended Warranty which will allow me to return the items and get a store credit for what I got the items for within two years. So this is all about taking advantage of a benefit that I paid for. I'm not due for another ten...
I apologize if this reply gets too long.
I only use my 5770 for three monitors. I use the two DVI ports and the Diplay Port. I noticed that, for some reason, the card (or OS) did not like it if both Display Port and HDMI port were occupied. Needless to say, I'm "only" spanning across three...
My signature should display my current setup.
I want to upgrade my MB and CPU without having to install from scratch. I will probably have to buy new memory but I'd like to keep my HDDs and Video Card.
Is it possible? If yes, what bumps should I anticipate?
I know I will have to run...
This guide is to address a few bumps in the road that I faced. Took me a few hours to figure out so I hope this might save some people some time.
My setup is:
Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3
Core i7 2600K
Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 1024MB (Bat Mobile)
120 GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
Crucial...
See if you can boot into safe mode by typing -x in the Chimera screen.
If you can then do a search for anything resembling "com.speedbit.driver.vadriver" Does not have to be exact name, but should at least closely resemble it (like maybe the "com" is not part of the file). Not sure, but it...

I've made a few changes to it though. I now have an i7 instead of an i5, and I also bought a Corsair 600T case for it. I now have a 120GB SSD, 16GB and two 2TB HDDs. I also have three monitors instead of two,.
Also, I...
I have no experience with the 6570. But stay away from the 5670. It caused me so much problems with Dual Monitors. With the 5770, I am able to use three!
I am not an expert, but from my experience, Cards that have only DVI/HDMI/D-SUB connections very good for dual screen.
I would buy a card...
First of all, how much are you wanting to spend total for your whole system?
I use the same motherboard, but my motivation was to be able to match Mac pro configuration.
If I didn't care about the performance much, I would have gotten myself a Mac mini.
My point is, if you have a budget of...
I'm wondering if my score is low. I've compared it to other I have seen on this site and I am nowhere close to the scores I have seen. Any ideas?
My specs are in my signature except for memory, which I have upped to 16GB, I have also added another 2TB Hard drive
Thanks
I can confirm that SATA III is natively supported with the Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard ports.
I initially placed all my drives in the SATA II ports per iBoot+MB guide. Then after everything, I tried booting off the SATA III ports and it worked fine.
I'm getting 420MB/s Write and...
