Question for Freak....
How much has your config changed relative to your post in User Builds from when you installed Yosemite on the Gigabyte X99M?
I am considering the same board. Would be great if you could confirm the extensions you are using, SSDT and config.plist for El Capitan if...
Not quite sure what this brings to the table. My CPU is marked as unknown and speed is now 3.81 despite a 4.2 OC.
Built in Audio is recognised in system profiler but not in AMS.....
Not sure I can see anything else. I'm using a imac smbios....would I be better off using a different one?
What is your ambient temp?
My temps are 10 degrees hotter than yours both at idle and at full load - at 4.2Ghz. I using a Noctua NH-D14 - but my ambient temperate is 30-35 degrees
Has anyone had any success with PCIe cards for wifi in their X79 builds?
I'm having issues both with a PCIe SSD and broadcom PCIe wifi card where the computer boots fine but hangs at the grey screen just before the desktop appears. Even if I boot in verbose mode everything works just fine and...
The information on this site and within this thread should be all you need to get up and running - so follow it to the letter. Other than this I'm not sure your graphics card is compatible - that tends to be the biggest problem for most people so do some research on that front before even...
Its a requirement of X79 that turbo be enabled to OC. You can OC by adjusting BCLK but you can only adjust the turbo multiplier if you want to go that route.
I figured as much - but was confused by the fact that you need turbo enabled in order to be able to overclock.
Did you change the voltages or just adjust the multiplier?
I was stable - ran prime95 in windows for 2 hours and had it running at 4.2 in OSX under general use for almost 24 hours. Rebooted one time and the BIOS reported failure to overclock and it was downhill from there.
I'm using the P9X79 Pro board with G.Skillz Ripjawz 16GB RAM in a 4x4 config...
I've had some issues with Overclocking - the bios failing to apply the Overclock and I also managed to corrupt my OSX install in the process so I've reverted to stock.
Can anyone clarify what clock speeds OSX will run at with the vanilla bios?
As NullCPUManagement is used does this mean that...
I am far from an expert. I just followed the steps Maleorderbride took (see earlier in the thread) and used his DSDT and boot flags so I would start there. I haven't done any DSDT editing myself.
I've no idea if the WS will be different but I imagine you couldn't use the same DSDT and would...
Ok - got everything up and running. Thanks again to everyone in this thread for helping answer my noob questions.
Have overclocked to 4.2Ghz and am very impressed with the performance:
Geekbench - 18020
cinebench - 10.86
Logic Pro benchmark test - 137 tracks
Restart is working fine - in fact...
Thanks. I'll try with EvoReboot to see if that makes a difference.
BDMSEG shows the following:

Just got my system up and running with the Asus board. Thanks a bunch to maleorderbride as your advice has been invaluable.
I plan on running logic pro on this system and will post some info/benchmarks once I get everything up and running.
At the moment all is working pretty well - though the...
Thanks for the info and the DSDT! Much appreciated. I will be picking mine up soon too. Can you confirm exactly which kexts you added to SLE? Did you also install a Smbios.plist? What does your chameleon.plist look like?
For USB 3.0 did you try the info in the post here for the Asmedia chip...
I had some time to try installing on my MSI-X79-GD65 based PC today with mixed results. Installed 10.7.2 using unibeast and got everything up and running with the easybeast kexts and a simple boot plist. Ethernet worked OOB even.
The disappointing issue is that I can only get the system to boot...
Re: If intel new X79 support lion?
Can you confirm this is with the MOBO in your profile?
What steps did you go to get it working?
V interested in this config.
BUMP
I am also interested in the answer to this question. The Z68 boards support RAID but I'm unsure how this works and whether it can be used with OSX or if its better to get a separate RAID card.
