Hi, Has anyone had a similar problem? I was using a USB Bluetooth dongle which worked okay (sometimes trackpad disconnects). Today I installed the new BCM94360CD/BCM94331CD card, pulled the BT dongle, and restarted. Now I have the "unavailable" bluetooth icon and the only way to get bluetooth...

Hi everyone I currently have a very old nvidia card and it has served me well for general use, but x-plane 11 really couldn't be played with it. I'd like to buy a new one but would like to keep it reasonable in price, good performance but doesn't have to be the newest or best, and would like to...

Hi, I just built a new Sierra machine and everything works so far, other than audio issues. Audio works fine until I use a microphone (I've tried the one built into my Logitech webcam and an external Samson USB mic, same problem for both). For example, I tried a google hangouts call...

I was so excited that I finally got this to work. Before I went to bed I started a time machine restore, entire user, and woke up to a frozen progress bar. Restarting with -v revealed it hangs at "System uptime in nanoseconds: 949132400". Do I have to start over?

Hi, I'm looking at the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH -- but do I really care if it has Thunderbolt? I'm confused about Thunderbolt because I'm reading that it uses USB-C ports. Does that mean that this board really going to provide different ports? Or do I need it period if I want to use Thunderbolt...

Hi, My build has been running great for a couple of years. It has a Gigabyte Z77-DS3H motherboard with an i7-2600k, on 10.8.4, which I haven't bothered to upgrade. Now that Chrome won't support it, and since I've started getting certificate errors, I guess it's time to bite the bullet and...

Hi everyone, Built a new machine for my brother. Gigabyte H97N-wifi (mini itx) with an i5 4590S. Install went fine, Multibeast worked well, and started up without issue. I began installing some software, and the system froze. Forced power off, and restarted, same thing happened a few minutes...

Hi there, Went through the guides here to do a complete install, and for some reason, keep running into the same problems that I cannot solve. Weird, since I know many have gotten their builds to work just fine with this same mobo. My build: Gigabyte GA-z87X Gaming 5 i5 4590S 16gb PNY XLR8...

EDIT: Found answer, and besides, mobo sold out on Woot. = = = Hi! Should I get this motherboard? It seems a good deal for 129. I noticed on the Buyer's Guide there is a Maximus VII Hero listed, but not the VI. One of my requirements, having done this before, is to get a motherboard that will...

I have a friend who works for Intel (lucky me) and I can get one CPU at discounted prices. He told me he can get these i7's: 4790k 4960 4930k 4820 Would I be able to go with one of the higher end ones, like the 4930k? I am pretty sure I don't need a 4960. Also, there is a 4820 available, for...

Hi everyone I have an i5-2500k and Gigabyte GA Z77-DS3H. It's been running great for a year or more but I've never been able to overclock it. I just decided to try again, and no matter what I set, my hardware monitor shows a CPU Package Multiplier of x16 and CPU Package of 1.60GHz, and it never...

Hi there, Just wondering what CPU would be my best value for upgrading without too much effort. I have an i5-2500k now (about 6000 cpu benchmark score) and was thinking of the i7-3770k (about 9800 score) for a good improvement. I don't know enough about which CPUs are compatible with my setup...

Hi, I'm having some issues lately with my trackpad. After waking from sleep (clicking on the trackpad will wake the mac), the trackpad won't connect. When I finished my build, it would usually connect within 30 seconds or so. But now, it's taking much longer, or not connecting at all...

Hi everyone, I have been running smoothly for quite a few months now and I'm antsy to get my hackintosh going a little faster. I have just run a Geekbench benchmark test and here are the results: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/2157889 I have never been able to overclock successfully...

Hi, I have a iogear usb bluetooth module connected to my Gigabyte DS3H/I5-2500K based system, and it generally works great, even allowing me to wake from sleep, with no drivers needed. However, I've done something twice so far, not sure what, that mucks up the connection to my trackpad and...

Hi, I'm step by step making my way toward overclocking, but I'm new to the Hackintosh world. Today, as part of this project, I installed hwmonitor and learned I was stuck at 1.6 GHz on my i5-2500K, so I installed the SSDT for "Sandy Bridge Core i5" (description: "Optimized SSDT supporting Sandy...

Hi everyone, I have a gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard and it only has 4 SATA ports. I would like to add some more, and I have a Rosewill RC-216 RAID card with 2 internal and 2 external SATA ports. It is recognized by the BIOS along with drives I connect to it, but they don't show up in OSX...

I have the hard drive with windows 7 that came out of my Hackintosh and I would love to add it to the boot menu. Can this be done? I see guides on how to combine them onto the same hard drive, but I don't want to do that. Thanks!

nvidia card deactivated my integrated video -- How can I have both working? I finally got my system working. The integrated video worked but the nvidia did not. Then I realized I'd forgotten to plug the power into the video card. When I did this, the video card worked fine, but now integrated...
