But I noticed 2.0.1 was just updated... lets see if that fixes it ;)

You are right it still needs the NVRAM library but with a newer version of Chameleon it fixes the "unable to handle key" messages...

2170 and above fix the messages which, I do not understand why you used 2169....

I don't think your problem is UEFI... sounds like a bad install.. redownload ML from the appstore and unibeast it again. Also run the tests on the internal video card, and see if the problem continues, otherwise it might be some external video card problems.

Spinning hdd are cheap :) no reason not to have extra drives in a customac.

Time machine is a great option until you clone the drive and try and use the same image. Luckily there is a utility called tmutil. Upgraded a friends MacBook pro the other day using ccc and a new 1tb drive. His time capsule backup on lion wouldn't recognize it due to the uuid mismatch. I had to...

Another thing I forgot to mention is that 12,2 gives you Apple Graphics Power Management, so for your external cards you wont lose FPS when it comes back from sleep like Mac Pro 3,1 does. Basically stay away from the Default system profile at all costs :) which is why antipopd is popular.

The performance is minimal from a geek bench perspective. And im using an XFX 6870, so I don't get the benefit of Airplay for some reason (if anyone wants to tackle that). My Geekbench from Lion to Mountain Lion is within a couple hundred... so ML is faster for sure. Also... Sleep...

The Audio pop is an easy fix, you can either go Mac Pro 3,1 or just get http://www.tomsick.net/projects/antipop.html I installed that antipopd and never have had the pop come back.

So I agree, all the SMBIO settings (iMac 12,2 and MacMini) for my mobo give the popping. I end up using the MacPro 3,1 just because the popping is annoying :) I wonder why the mac pro is different and can we incorporate that somehow into the system (my knowledge isnt enough)

So I decided since I want to prep for ML... I updated to U1H tonight, and all I had to do was remove DSDT and reinstall the non-dsdt hda for audio and im back in business, my Geekbench is about 2000 higher at factory multiplier. Kinda bummed im stuck at 3800mhz but until we can overclock o...

Seems hit or miss on this bios, I for one will be holding off until the next release.

I tried it on F12 (I haven't updated to U1h yet) and it does the same thing as other mac mini smbios def.'s. It pops after sound has been idle a few minutes. I was mainly just curious if it doesn't pop (and you confirmed it doesn't with your answer!) So now once over clocking gets fixed i'll...

I have found that on the F12 bios that if I run any Mac Mini smbios that I get popping in the analog audio out (normal speakers). From my searches I found that people say the audio "goes to sleep" So I end up having to use the Mac Pro stuff.. Is it the same issues on the U1h bios?

So which system definition are you guys using for this build? I have pretty much this same build and have been using the Mac Pro (Early 2008) and it runs great just wondering if I can squeak more out of it!

I can't even get sleep to work on mine, must be my bluetooth... not sure though.

Sad day for sure, I am new to the community but its thinkers like her that made it happen. Gone but not forgotten!

As much as I respect family wishes here is a remembered per google cache. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... ent=safari

Found this and wanted to link it as a FYI if anyone reads this post viewtopic.php?f=7&t=66292 Good topic on the UEFI update to the z68 mobo

Re: Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev 1.3 U1H Bios testing Good review of your experience! I am glad you tested it that throughly.
