    Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave

    My Z97 Clover 4934 updated, but on the restart it the progress bar slowly got to full and just sat there. Had to reboot, and halts on boot again. To make a long story short, reboot on update was loading from the install Mojave partition (blind) and grinding to a halt. By hitting the space bar...

    Yes, per Apple help desk conversation just a couple days ago. Did v.6 'live' upgrade from App Store with no problems, just reinstalled my audio kext via Multibeast.

    SuSu Dual EFI boot "how to" for experienced hackers.

    This is a very general record of a success dual boot install of EFI version SuSe Linux "Leap 42.1" on a GA-z97mx-Gaming 5 with stable EFI (only) Clover/Yosemite 10.10.5 equipped with a SSD root and separate HDD /Users. I simply added a dedicated Linux EFI disk to the computer. Susu has...

    What Version of OS X is your Computer Running?

    We just changed from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.5. The Capture One v9 photo processing version required Yosemite so I spent a day (and a half!) switching to Clover as well. Using a Gigabyte B75 for my wife in an HP case and I have the GA-z97mx Gaming 5/4770. Microsoft Vista was such a...

    Fix for gigabyte 4 dimm memory instability

    My Z97m gaming 5 board is now one year old, and began locking up more and more frequently. I suspected a memory problem. It will not run more than two minutes with 4 sticks RAM. I have two sets of 2x4 Corsair DDR3 XMS sets that have run for 3 and 2 years. They ran fine in a z68 and ran fine...

    i4790k processor hitting 81degrees C after Geekbench test.

    How about just sub-optimizing the cooler situation by leaving it as it is? Does it really make sense to equip your computer $$ cooling to deal with the heat generated by Geekbench if it is the only software that is going to make your i7 4790k get that hot? As the saying goes, you could just...

    Freezing/Crash High CPU Useage Yosemite

    Just a reference note: X97-MX-Gaming5 has similar bios w/Mavericks 10.9.5...I had a similar problem develop over a week's initial use of a new 4790k setup/ It ran fine for a couple days after build, then cpu started drawing over 110 watt peaks with all 4 cores showing a speed of 4.GHz. I had...

    SUCCESS > i7-4790K w/ Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming5

    Update on this build: The hardest use of this machine is processing photography. A couple days ago it was batch processing and the 80c horn started up. I quickly put up Intel Power Gadget to see the i7-4790k drawing over 100 watts spikes at 4,4Ghz. It had apparently lost its power regulation...

    How much longer will Hackintosh be possible?

    It is exactly my point: Those days are numbered. Hacks will still get built, but it is getting more and more complicated and Apple has already crippled key software features based on their database of serial numbers. This will continue to expand. Even Safari now has spurious messages related to...

    How much longer will Hackintosh be possible?

    Thanks! You are correct that we have value with what we have. None the less, and however good or bad appearances be, foresight is a virtue I shall not abandon. If one had a business need, the new Mac Retina is actually a good value. Since I am retired, not looking forward to a $2500-3000 new...

    How much longer will Hackintosh be possible?

    We should be extremely worried as to the future because of Apple's ongoing and intensifying effort to shut out Hackintosh from future install compatibility. This is being slowly put into place by binding their future OS X versions directly to serialized hardware on at least the communications...

    SUCCESS > i7-4790K w/ Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming5

    The big secret for me was to disable Turbo mode in BIOS. No Turbo 4400GHz, but the CPU does speed step, which is more important. Turbo issue will probably be fixed sooner than later. I have not taken time to research for a solution, yet. The problem is the Haswell Refresh chips are unknown CPU...

    Almost Everything Working but USB 3.0 - Any Suggestions?

    Just a note about Gigabyte Eltron USB3 behavior. (your Gigabyte board as it for sure) On Mavericks 10.9.5 my USB3 devices are only recognized by first plugging them into USB2. Then, plug back into USB3. (!?) IF computer sleeps, then USB3 stops working on wake...... I just wonder if...
