Most people would have done that with a pico psu and thin mini-itx, but i guess it´s not that easy to get those parts in turkey. Anyways: Thats an awesome mod.

I installed everything fermi related in multibeast and downloaded the cuda drivers, but it also works without them (as far as i remember).

Go for it! I'm running a Gtx 460 flawless (well, actually i had a few crashes while playing starcraft, but i'm not sure if it was a graphics error or the oc'ed cpu) with 10.8.2. There isn't any special work needed to get it running, it's pretty much plug and play.

Well, thats way too soon for haswell & ivy-e , so Sandybridge-EP is the only viable option. Maybe the 3770 for the "low end", ´cause it wouldn´t hurt sales to move closer to the 1000$ price point. I don´t think there are many surprises to expect. just the usual stuff.. A great workstation for...

I think its time for apple to abandon the mac pro, i´m not happy about it either but it seems like the next step in a series of unreasonable decisions. The real professionals are becoming a minority in the OS X userbase. Shipping a Macbook "Pro" w/o an Ethernet port? There´s no way a company...

1. Why not? If you prefer OS X over Windows for your professional work, go for it. There are no stability issues or something similiar, which could stop you from being as productive as on a mac pro or imac. 2. Yeah, thats possible. I´m not able to explain everything in detail but it works...

FSB Overclocking is so much more fun and very challenging. I mean Multi-ocing is just boring: 1. raise Multi by 1. 2. check if its stable. 3. stable? yes! - good! repeat step 1 and 2 until it will get unstable or too hot. no! - Bump the Voltage and return to the...

Current-Gen AMD cards (HD 7xxx) are not supported, only previous-gen (6xxx) are. The reason why the Mac Pro is using those is because it hasn´t been updated in a while. You could get one of the supported ones but they aren´t such a good bang for your back. But if you could get a used one cheap...

I´m owning a GA-Z77-DS3H and i´m really happy with it. It´s not outstanding or remarkable in any way, but it´s one of the cheapest and works flawless. I was a bit disappointed when i learned, that vcore was locked on this board, but if you don´t wan´t to oc, you won´t even notice that...

Wow, as a european you would consider this as free. It´s like 40% off (compared to EU prices) with a triple-A Title included. Get it! BTW: I will never understand why those things are so cheap in the States. There´s just no rational reason for that. (don´t blame it on ww2)

i think there's no way to raise vcore on the ds-3h. You have to be happy with the very limited oc options.

not possible: the second dvi port is wired to the hdmi port. You could try the iGpu.

yeah, that 4.2 limit of osx can't be true, atleast not on gigabyte boards. Tried my 3770k at 4.5 never got it stable at such speeds but it was recognized w/o any modifications.

Try a different system definition. I just tried Imac 13,1 and it wasn´t overclocking at all! It just sat there at 3.5 Ghz, while i was throwing bechmarks at it. With the Imac 12,2 it clocks up all the way to 4.3. Edited my post, because i my thought was kinda flawed.

i think the new socket was known for quit some time now. Maybe it is intel´s last socket if broadwell really introduces bga. I hope haswell is only 10-15% faster, so there wouldn´t be a need to upgrade.

I'd backup all of my important files at first! I think it would work if you upgrade to mountain with your old board and then swap boards. This could work, because gigabyte boards seem to boot without any extra modification. But I'd recommen a clean install, it's not that much work. Besides...

I think most builds need 10+ installs of OS X until everything really works. You have to be patient, but if you have compatible hardware it will run eventually. A little tip for better installation/recovery: Enable Time Machine as soon as you got a working state, because you can restore any...

No, please not! I´d be very happy if Apple would start to use AMD chips in their computers. APUs would be a very reasonable choice for the mac mini, imac and mb-air. AMDs FX CPU would be very powerful and pretty cheap for the entry level Mac Pro. I think the major disadvantage of the FX CPU...

I didn´t read all the specs, perhaps your motherboard is incompatible as well but your GPU was obvious. You got a AMD 7XXX Graphics, which are currently not supported by OS X, but keep an eye on that news: Tonymac: "OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 Beta has AMD Radeon 7XXX drivers http://goo.gl/WKkxG...

Sweet! Time to throw some cash at the struggling AMD. :) (if it really appears working in the release.)
