As you know, we've all been digging around Apple's latest update to OS X and we've found one interesting tidbit so far that wasn't mentioned in the official release notes. Apple has added support for some third party USB 3.0 host controllers. We'd heard some suggestions about this a little...

According to rumours coming out of Taiwan, Apple was planning three different iMac models for release this year, but the company has now canned the entry-level model for whatever reason. It's unclear what the difference was between the entry-level model and the two that will be launching. The...

The launch schedule rumours of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 660 and 650 cards have been a bit back and forth, but now the company has finally announced both of the new models. Price wise these should be appealing as good CustoMac options, especially as the GTX 650 is pretty much a faster version of the...

Leaked Intel roadmaps are suggesting that Intel won't be launching its next generation of socket LGA-2011 and LGA-1356 Xeon processors based on the Ivy Bridge-EP architecture until the third quarter of next year. Unless Apple is planning on waiting another year until it releases a new Mac Pro...

As the rumour mill suggested, Apple did indeed upgrade its iPods today with a new, larger iPod nano, as well as a slimmer, lighter iPod touch, with the same display as the iPhone 5. Alongside the new iPods Apple also announced the already leaked EarPods, yes, they actually called them that...

As expected, Apple has announced the iPhone 5 and "it's made entirely of glass and aluminium" although we're fairly certain it has some silicon inside it too. What's interesting is that many of the leaks and rumours have proven to be true, much more so than what some hoped for, although some...

As you're most likely aware of, Apple is about to launch the iPhone 5, but alongside it, the company is also expected to unveil a few other new products, so we thought we'd make a quick rundown of the rumours that are floating around the interweb.

It's said that patience is a virtue, but we're pretty sure that those of you that are waiting for Gigabyte's 7-series mini-ITX motherboards have close to used up all the patience you have. Today the company finally put up the GA-H77N-WIFI and the GA-Z77N-WIFI on its website which means that they...

Good news everyone, today Nvidia announced the Quadro K5000 for Mac which means that OS X just got some official high-end Kepler support, as the Quadro K500 appears to be based on the GK104 GPU. This should be great news for the entire Hackintosh community, as we should now be seeing some new...

We keep getting a lot of questions in the forums about what power supply to purchase, so we thought we'd put together a quick guide as to what to look for when you're buying a Power Supply Unit (PSU). We'll go into some basics with regards to how a PSU works, but we're not going to cover some of...

Tonymacx86 might be focusing on CustoMacs but we know a lot of you are interested in playing with other hardware too and although we might not the right forum for Linux and Android hack projects, we couldn't resist doing a short news post about the cubieboard. You might be familiar with the...

Apple has sent out an invite to various media around the world that suggests that the company is ready to announce its much rumoured next generation iPhone next week on September 12th. The handset is expected to be called the iPhone 5 and the invite seems to imply this too. As always, the...

Remember the Core i3-3225? Well, it’s officially launched, alongside another 15 desktop siblings and five mobile relatives. It looks like Intel decided to release just about every model it had in store yesterday, with the exception of the odd mobile SKU. We’ll cover the new mobile models first...

Fingers crossed I've finally figured out the whole USB 3.0 driver thing for 10.8. Note that this is so far not for use with any 7-series boards with the only exception being the X79 boards. The attachment is of a modified CalDigit driver that is known to work with the ASMedia ASM1042, Etron...

We know some of you are having some slight problems with your builds and as we've pointed out in the past, this can be related to the BIOS/UEFI, especially if you're using a new motherboard. Gigabyte's 7-series motherboards have only been out a couple of months and as most of the boards are...

It looks like 2012 is the start of the high-resolution display race and it's very much welcomed, as we've suffered long enough with 1080p displays as the highest resolution available in the affordable display segment. That said, we're not expecting LG's latest 29 and 27-inch models to be cheap...
