Hi all, I'm sporting the GA-Z77X-UD5H (seriously awesome mb!). I was making some changes in my BIOS to boot into a USB-Thumbdrive for a Linux distro, and, for some reason, when I rebooted the machine, the Gigabyte BIOS boot screen no longer displays. And, I no longer have the option to...

OK, very strange. Recently after making some HW changes on my Hack and updating to the latest Multibeast, I started getting these errors: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled. To prevent damaging your...

Hi all, I've been enjoying a slick Hack since July without much of an issue. However, today, I "upgraded" my bootloader using the new MB 5.2.0. Ever since doing so, I can only boot via Safe Mode. When I try to boot normally (actually with the boot flag -v), it seems to run complete through...

Hi, this new site is definitely improving, but I still can't say that its usability is even at par with what it used to be. Unless, I am missing it. When I come to this site after a few days away, how can I quickly tell which of the threads I was involved in have been updated since I was...

Apple 24" LED Cinema Display (Mini-DisplayPort) scrambled desktop on restart Hi all, Its been awhile since I've posted as I had some extended travel. But, I'm back and finally was physically in the presence of my Hack so I could finally update it to Mountain Lion! (My machine's details are...

Hi all, I'm working on a Mountain Lion install on a Dell XPS 17" L702X. A plain vanilla install with UniBeast 1.5.1 get's me pretty far, but so far I've had to add a couple of kexts to get the battery icon to work properly, and I was hoping it would be a similar affair to get audio...

What's the verdict for your system?

Has anyone gotten this to work properly? Or more precisely, has anyone gotten Audio to work?

Hi TonyMacX86, great site, but I notice that my old MacBook Pro gets really hot due to the Flash ads running here. If I contribute, will I get an ad-free version of the site? Better yet, can you switch to non-Flash-based ads? I'm happy to see and even click-on ads to help support this...

Hi all, Way back in the day, I needed to add Bluetooth to my iMac (blue edition) and it seemed the only viable option at the time was to get the D-Link DBT-120. And, I recall that I had to flash it in order to get it to work properly with the Mac back then, and I did and it worked well. My...

Hi all you 3770K + UD5H owners. This thread is for you! I'm hoping we can all share best practices to getting our rigs working as well as possible. I would like to propose that as a measure of general performance goodness, we share our GeekBench (64-bit please) scores. I'll start. Mine is...

From MacRumors.com... http://www.macrumors.com/2012/06/28/new ... arly-fall/ A 3rd party response to the MS Surface? I wonder if Apple will shoot this down before it sees the light of day?

I took the opportunity to collect about 200 of the geekbench scores from the recent 'Post your GeekBench scores' thread. I've also cherry-picked a few Ivy Bridge and nice Sandy Bridge posts from the Golden- and User-builds categories. Along with these scores, I also collected the CPU, speed...

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but, I was curious if anyone has tested to see what effect using the dual-channel memory access has on performance? In other words, if I use mis-matched memory, or put them in the wrong slots on my motherboard, how much would this effect...

Hi all, I've just search the forums for 'Q77' and was surprised to see only 3 posts, none of which indicate success or failure of a build based on this chipset. Does anyone have any first-hand knowledge, one way or the other, of hack-ability of motherboards using this chipset? Failing that...

Hi. I'm not sure where to post this, but, I was wondering if it is possible to find, install and integrate into a Hack a headphone/microphone jack like is available on Apple Macs. The kind that accepts my iPhone headset and integrates perfectly where the microphone works, the earbud speaks...

Hi all, I've been working on this for days, but I think I've come to a conclusion on this. My goal is a sub-$1.1K, tiny, efficient and quiet desktop that packs a solid punch. To quantify this a bit more, I'm currently working on a MBP 15" (late 2008) with a GeekBench score of about 3400. I'd...

Hi All. I'm pretty interested in using the i7-3930K, although, I'm not entirely interested in OC'ing it. With 6 cores, 12 threads, it seems like it would be plenty fast for me and I would prefer my box to run cool, quiet and wtih low(-ish) power consumption. In fact, I may play with the BIOS...

Post moved to its own thread here: I7-3930K build in micro-ATX anyone?
