    PCI-e to SATA Controller Card for Mac 10.9.2 (ASM1061 vs Marvell 88 SE 9215)

    Reporting back that Syba card with the Marvell 88SE9215 is working perfectly with Yosemite 10.10.3 Yosemite without issues, no need to tweak.

    PCI-e to SATA Controller Card for Mac 10.9.2 (ASM1061 vs Marvell 88 SE 9215)

    Hmm.... that would've been great to know beforehand. In any case, the Marvell controller is working great for both optical and HDDs!

    PCI-e to SATA Controller Card for Mac 10.9.2 (ASM1061 vs Marvell 88 SE 9215)

    My mobo of Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP4 TH has 6 SATA ports, which I thought would be enough. However, the mSATA drive slot on the mobo is on the same bus as the 6th SATA port, so I can only use one or the other (plugging in an mSATA disables the 6th SATA port). To get around this issue, I figured...

    What about AMD's R9 Series (280x, 290x) on our Hackintoshes?. Further explanation.

    NewEgg just released an R9 290 card an hour ago, and it's even lower than the projected price! Although we were told that they would sell for $550 or above, the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 with 4GB of GDDR5 is being sold for $400 on release day at NewEgg. If it works with Mavericks, this is a great...

    GA-Z77X-UP4-TH vs GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    It looks like you figured out how to fix your VIA USB chipset by modifying someone else's kext. I would ask you what steps you took, but I'm also wondering if the newest Multibeast includes the modded kext that you used? It would save me some time to use Multibeast rather than trying to...

    GA-Z77X-UP4-TH vs GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    What drivers did you install to get the USB 3.0 on the UP4-TH recognized in Mountain Lion? I've kept the OS up to date, but I've never gone back to check on the USB 3.0 ports since it wasn't compatible a year ago. Did you pick up drivers through Multibeast, or did the latest OS update allow...

    GA-Z77X-UP4-TH vs GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    Sorry, that was my mistake - it's been a while since I opened my case to look at my motherboard. There are three USB 2.0 headers on the motherboard and one USB 3.0 header.

    GA-Z77X-UP4-TH vs GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    I work with After Effects and Premiere quite a lot. The Gigabyte UP5-TH is the motherboard you should purchase if you want thunderbolt compatibility. The motherboard itself is compatible with OS X, so there should be very little modification you need to do to get it working. It's better...

    GA-Z77X-UP4-TH vs GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    I jumped on the UP4-TH first, a few minutes after the CustoMac buyer's guide was published. With a few of our reviews, he finally removed UP4-TH from the list of recommended mobos, but only after 3 weeks when we all realized that the drivers were never going to be published. At least he...

    WDN4800 intermittent problem

    My next step is to turn off 802.11 a/n on my router to make it a b/g router. I can already see that I'm receiving 3Mb/s less throughput by switching to the old standard, but if this solves the problem, I'd rather take a slower speed than to suffer from cut-outs. I will report back in a week.

    WDN4800 intermittent problem

    Well, it's only been one day but I still have the same issue where my communication stops. WiFi is still connected, but upstream/downstream from the internet just stops on the node (not the router - all other connected devices have no issues upstream/downstream). Turning off IPv6 did not...

    WDN4800 intermittent problem

    I've had this issue with the TP-Link WDN4800 ever since August last year. For me, all of my network activity stops when the my usage goes up. For example, watching 1080p videos on YouTube or downloading 100MB+ files will stop my connection after about a minuted. Otherwise, it's always...

    Update from 10.8 -> 10.8.1 -> 10.8.2 works for GA-Z77x-UP4 TH

    I just wanted to leave feedback since I can only seem to find one other recent post by a user running this motherboard. The GA-Z77x-UP4 TH was an officially "recommended" motherboard for about a month on this site until it was taken off the list due to compatibility issues with the USB 3.0...

    OS X 10.8.2 improves USB 3.0 and adds support for some 3rd party controllers

    Thanks for putting in the line about the GA-Z77X-UP4 TH! It was getting too hard to decipher the writing and trying to determine if this news was applicable to my motherboard. I appreciate it!

    Oh, I thought this was an official podcast link on iTunes! I guess Apple wouldn't sponsor a podcast from this website though... lol

    Mac OS X resets time in Windows 7

    I found several websites warning against using that Zephyroth kext to fix the time on the Macintosh side... I've forgotten now, but it screwed something up in the system. I ended up using the Windows Registry workaround. Thanks!

    Suggestions to Replace z77x-UP4

    I've had 0 problems with the UP4 outside of the USB port issue, which I've fixed by just purchasing a generic $8 USB 2.0 PCI bracket (natively works in OS X, Windows and Ubuntu Linux). If you want to save $50 versus buying the UP5, it's a good board.

    Mac OS X resets time in Windows 7

    Ok, thanks! I've been googling for an alternative solution for over an hour today, but there only seem to be broken patches/mods for OS X or this method on Windows.

    Mac OS X resets time in Windows 7

    Nice to know. I've been looking for a more up-to-date workaround, but no one else seems to have a solution. Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687252
