Personally I am eyeing a 290x since it was just announced and is a complete beast (goes toe to toe to the titan) at a (more) reasonable price point... just need to wait till the custom heatsink and dissipation versions come out to knock a few dba off. everything 280x and below is just rehashes...

I cant reply since you disabled the ability to receive PMs. I would have to decline your offer though for ethical and legal reasons though. I hope you have a better experience soon with your hack mac though!

The TonymacX86 tools aren't designed for the Asus P8 series as such I don't recommend using them, HOWEVER that being said I will try to see what I can figure out for you. There are no DSDTs in pjalm's repository. He offers DSDT patches that require you start with a clean DSDT with most of your...

I am working on updating it now. Its a major rewrite since I am switching ALL tools I have used in the past to my current setup that is going for a vanilla UEFI (no BIOS legacy) /w DSDT edits, a few minor Clover options, and as few kexts as possible. You can see the beginning and the basic...

Sorry for being silent for so long, got a few auto destructs on this build that has seen OS after OS needing to be reinstalled from scratch. OS X messed up and a bunch of strange behavior out of 10.8.3 caused me to re-install that overwrite GRUB2 and flooded my UEFI Bios with OS X listings...

Clover does it a little different. Clover is an attempt to have, in essence, a type of full EFI layer acting between BIOS and OS hand-off. Clover is more like a little OS then a complex boot-loader like GRUB2 or even Chimera is at its core. So sure Chimera can do this, like I said, but it...

Got around to rewrite this finally. Sorry its been a big fun as things develop and change so quickly on the hackintosh scene. Guide now includes basic DSDT, fun Clover EFI V2, and my continued attempts to make the last few things work well. As aways, Specs!: Intel Ivy Bridge i7 3770K @ stock...

Its possible, however the basis for such features is that they are UEFI extensions requiring a native UEFI environment after POST. One of the major features of Chimera and these OS X loaders is they act as a go-between the legacy PC-BIOS environment nearly all PCs have and the modified EFI...

Good to hear that DSDT is working for you Tom. Out of curiosity are you getting a bunch of console errors still with it or does it seem the patches, hacks, and that DSDT have taken care of most compatibility issues? Also remember dont discuss Mountain Lion installing and stuff here. I have a Mac...

Just updated the main post with what we have learned in the last week with some of my explanations why stuff works/doesn't work the way it does. Also Tom I am VARY not upset at you highjacking my thread. Thats what I made this for since I wont be getting my full rig until after I am done with a...

There are two ways around this issue. First the reason why Gigabyte's UEFI implementation seems to work is because the 3xxx version UEFI includes a DSDT similar to that implemented by Apple and thus works mostly out of the box. So hopefully Asus will update their UEFI framework since it looks...

Update: Updated first post with links to solutions for both NICs reported to work, along with Ivy Bridge kernel patch, and link to latest Audio information. Going to look into Z77 stuff, have a feeling there is a patched BIOS and DSDT out there now but cant remember where to find it. x.x

Yep, I wrote it at 4 AM or so local time so I didnt feel like using the tags because I wanted to keep it URL light at this point. So when I have F16 T57808 next to the solution that is me pointing at that exact post because you can easily just switch the f=22 to f=16 and the p=361910 to t=57808...

UPDATED: July 8, 2012 Here is a quick and dirty run-down of support under OS X Lion for P8Z77-V Deluxe solutions based around a build I am planing on doing. I don't have these components but this is a compilation of information and experiences in about a dozen other topics across several sites...

Apple uses a whitelist preventing un-tested and validated wifi chipsets and setups to not even show the AirDrop features and configuration. For example my mid 2010 MacBook Pro works with AirDrop fine, but unfortunately my MacPro 3,1 and MacBook Air 2,1 doesn't. So it rather defeats the purpose...

yes it will. I have used a Nvidia 8800 GTS from a MacPro 3,1 in a hacintosh just fine. The only difference between these and normal PC cards is a little EFI code in the flash of the card to allow them to display the pretty apple logo and boot disk select screens included in the EFI pre-OS...
