hello guys, i successfully built an hackintosh a couple years ago using the tools here. since then, i have upgraded that machine (and the os to win7) to the point where i have all the older main parts laying around. now i am wondering if i can put those parts back together, and re-build my...

I am no way experienced enough to give you specific clues but, have you tried the GPU on another computer? I usually try to rule out hardware defect(s) before anything else.. good luck

Thanks for clarification/details. So the drivers I installed replaced those included in 10.8.2? I am guessing I wont see a difference in general performance because I did so? Also, since I plan on using Adobe products, is it OK to run the Cuda installer and expect to not screw my build...

Hi everyone I recently made a fresh install of mountain lion using uni/multibeast and it's going fine. GA-Z68XP-UD4 f5 - i7-2600k @ 3.5ghz I used the latest nvidia drivers from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-304.00.05f02-driver.html But somewhere else on the forums I've...

[Solved] CMOS Error? Hack going spin wheel and grey screen 1 hour after boot. solved to boot with HD3000 I just needed to use GraphicsEnabler=No. Then after ruling out the RAMs and the GPU out of the suspicions I had of them being faulty. The problem was the SSD Crucial M4 64GB - I had an...

So I went ahead and I bought Mountain Lion last night. I made the USB install stick using Unibeast 1.6.1. I removed my EVGA GTX 580 from the computer, I removed one 4GB RAM (I had two). Setted my HDMI in BIOS to 64MB for HD3000. I can boot into the USB stick (using F12 ga-z68xp-ud4 F5)...

[Solved] CMOS Error? Hack going spin wheel and grey screen 1 hour after boot. Hi I built this hackintosh in February 2012 - z68xp-ud4 / i7 2600k. I used uni/multi beast and installed Lion back then. I eventually used combo update and I'm up to 10.7.4 now. The problem happen all the time...

Hello there, I was wondering, is it possible to create a partition, say on a secondary data drive, install windows on it and boot to it via Chimera?

Thanks for your input. Specially the part that reminded me about BIOS. Pretty important stuff there that I was about to overlook. I found the thread I used to enable my HD3000, it's Stork Golden Build thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=264&t=36296, but can't find the correct...

just inserting my experience here. I am using HD3000 512MB (1920x1080) over HDMI to DVI (my specs are on the left side). Installed Lion via Unibeast, multi for the mobo and Stork's technique to enable full resolution on the integrated gfx. all went ok - at first I used my ASUS 27" LED but I...

in addition, i suggest you check this thread out viewtopic.php?f=264&t=36296 i used the details provided to enable mine yesterday.. il y a des détails important pour ton BIOS... ça fonctionne à merveille pour moi avec 2x4GB de RAM - bonne chance!

Hi! GA-Z68XP-UD4-B3 - i7 2600k - onboard gfx using the hdmi to dvi adapter. I experience the same issue using Unibeast+Lion (from app store) as per tonymac tutorial - used the bios settings from iboot-multibeast.. maybe there are specific settings for this motherboard? thanks EDIT: -v...

I am in the same boat as OP (will use Adobe CS) - I have ordered all my parts (they'll show up next week) except the video card until i can make up my mind. I know (via another site) someone that has a GTX570 2.5GB working without a problem. Does the nvidia gets numbed down so much on a...

Oh no! But reading through the specs I was really under the impression that I had one :( this is the part I'm getting: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=62197&vpn ... e=Gigabyte Can you re-confirm I wont be able to use the HDMI port on it to use the computer without a video card? TIA EDIT: All...

Good friday to everyone, I am wondering if I will encouter problems as I want to install Lion on my system without a video card at first (using the on onboard my Z68XP-UD4-B3 and its HDMI connection)... Do you think this will be problematic? (doing this because I have to wait to save money for...

Are there specific .kext for each models? or you just get the nvidia .kext and it works for most cards? ANSWER: Yes, I found my mobo model in the DSDT listing. Seems like the nvidia .kext include all 5xx cards - will need confirmation on this. I did order everything today except the video...

Need. I love OS X, I can't afford a decent Mac Pro. What do? Hackintosh! It's all about the OS and the money for me.

Yes. I know... this section of the forum is already full of first build. Though I still needed to post mine also because, first of all, I am stressed over the fact that this beautiful gtx 570 2.5GB might not work properly on hackintoshes... and secondly, investing that much money is worth...
