I'm thinking of buying this motherboard too, so would like to know if you guys recommend this one. is USB3 working? Thanks

I have exactly the same board and I managed to make it work, although what I did is not very stable and I still have some problem with Clover, but iMessage work! my suggestions for now - you should try to make it work/boot from USB stick first before you move Clover to the harddrive. Now...

Hi, can someone tell me what is that solution provided by Macman? It seems that the link above is not valid anymore. Thanks!

Thanks @arehep I've tried your SSDT + smbios and it works! I seriously have no idea what was wrong before, I was using SSDT from MultiBeast for overclocked i7 before without success. Also - I'm not sure how replacing my MacMini 5.3 smbios with the one you uploaded for MacMini 5.1 helped the...

Z68XP-UD3 rev1.3 with U1g bios 1. I've tried MacMini5.3, iMac12.2 but still only have 2 states - 16 and 40 (see bios settings screenshot attached) 2. N/A - I use external FireWire audio 3. No problems with HW Monitor and plugins - works for me as it worked before. 4. No kernel panics so...

Same here Same question here - since I updated to UEFI bios the only way to boot OS X is when P0 or P1 is selected in boot options. 1. Would there be any advantage of using UEFI boot instead? 2. If so, how to make Mountain Lion bootable? Do I need to reinstall it after selecting UEFI...

Possible solution Hi, I have the same problem with my Z68XP-UD3 board, I was googling for hours looking for solution... Nothing that would natively make it work. @Mieze is right - Motherboard cuts the usb drives power supply and there is no solution for that yet I suppose... Maybe the next...

Yeap, UEFI bootloader... sounds good, but it would be nice if someone who actually knows how to play with it posted some tutorial how to make it work. I've installed CLOVER on a separate pendrive and was trying to make it work. After hours of trying I gave up... I couldn't even get to the point...

Hi guys Those are my results: Geekbench Windows 7 - 12,268 (32bit) Mac OSX - 14,562 (64bit); 13,385 (32bit) Novabench Windows 7 - 1682 Mac OSX - 1604 Cinebench Windows 7 - 7.85 pts / 84.26 fps Mac OSX - 7.85 pts / 54.51 fps Windows 7 (64bit) start-up harddrive - Seagate Barracuda 7200 -...

Well, I'm glad to hear that the DSDT stays the same - but for some reason the Ethernet is not working. As far as I know this should be enabled in DSDT file. So, I've got F10 bios now and using the latest DSDT available which is F8 and cannot fix the Appstore problem as I cannot set Ethernet as...

Hi there I'm also waiting for the new DSDT for F10 bios and would be grateful if you guys make it available for download soon. I had to update it to f10 due to ocasional bios resets, and it seems to for fine so far. I believe many people will be interested in this as well. Thanks a lot for the...

ok - I think I'm gonna go with ASUS 6850, if you guys could tell me if should also consider some nVidia cards up to $160? I know... cuda... but is it really a big advantage of having it in comparison to 6850? Is there any nVidia card that is similar to 6850, have a low power consumption and not...

I'm also thinking of Asus 6850 - people say that this might be the quietest choice and also the power consumption is very low. Is there any nVidia alternative to that? quiet and low power consumption are the most important things for me. I'll be using it for gaming only from time to time.

ok - I've bought GA-Z68XP-UD3 already, and 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM As regards the GFX, I'm thinking about: 1. Sapphire 6850 2. Gigabyte 6850 - slightly different cooling - I expect it be quieter 3. some nVidia card, but I'm not sure what would be the option here. I'd like to keep it under...

Great, thanks very much - it looks like Z68XP-UD3 would be the best choice. And it has Firewire so won't have to buy the external controller immediately. And what do you think about Asus EAH6850 gfx? And - if I choose nVidia, what this cuda actually gives me?

Would GA-Z68P-DS3 be a good choice? The only thing that bothers me is the mobo has 1 parallel and 1 serial port :) Is this a joke?? Is there any need for them at all?? I remember that from my old computer from 1995 :) Is there any better choice than this? I couldn't find any Z68 without both...

Ok, your're right, I will go with Z68 then but it seems that Z68X-UD3H-B3 would be the only option as I need FireWire port for my sound card... I cannot find cheaper option with FireWire but this mobo is not the cheapest one... Even if I buy cheaper Z68A-D3H and buy FireWire controller...

Ok, I've decided about the CPU - 2600K now, what if I choose to buy separate GFX and don't use HD3000, which mobo would be a better choice 1. P67A-UD3-B3 2. P67X-UD3-B3 does it still make sense buying Z68X-UD3H-B3 with HD3000 onboard and don't use it? And GFX - I'm thinking of using my 8800...

Great, seems that many things has changed over the last few years, I still remember that it was impossible to run on board card and PCIexpress card in the same time, so this is good news. Now, if I understand it well I can run HD3000 and 8800GTS in the same time, and all those scenarios should...

So, can I actually keep my 8800GTS and use HD3000 as well? I mean, can I connect one monitor to HD3000 and second monitor to 8800GTS? I'm not really sure how it works in Mac Pro, as you can buy it even with 3 GFX - do they work simultaneously? I mean - if you use only 1 monitor and have 3...
