That seems poor - getting nearly that with stock 3.4GHz: I have a GA-Z77-DS3H with a 3570K with default multiplier and 16GB 1600Mhz XMS3 memory (and I think Steam was still downloading CIV 5, LOL!). Looking at multibeast for ML, the SSDT section may give you some clues: "Optimized SSDT...

Gigabyte Z77-DS3H S1155 (hence 2500K with silly OC and water cooling died) G530 LGA1155 (£30!) & 3570K GS8400 (as initially no built-in graphics support with G530 - this is just from my old machine and seems compatible).... Will switch to HS 4000 once 3570K is in place on ML Samsung 830 267 GB...

I don't have access to a Mac (to get USB thumb install), so was originally going to go SB with 2500K (install with SL DVD and then upgrade to ML), but ideally I wanted IB (but no valid install media). Plan was to switch from 2500k to having two processors. Use G530 to get myself to SL, get to...

I am in a similar position, with no access to a Mac but have not yet ordered my kit.... I have been looking at 2500K with the DSH3 MB for compatibility (Customac 2012 recommended). Reading this thread, one thought I did have is to buy my hardware and a cheap, sacrificial CPU (Celeron G530 -...
