I have managed to do a couple of Hackintosh installs now and am looking to build a desktop machine that is reliable, fast, quiet and inexpensive. I already have an SSD, hard drives, NVidia graphics card and a Seasonic 865W power supply. I have used Antec Sonata Proto before, which is nice and...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182347 Just curious if anybody has ever made one of these motherboards into a Hackintosh? I have one at work that is live as a Linux box, but curious if I could boot it up with a live USB thumb drive and test drive it, leaving the Linux...

Ok. I have everything running. Thanks so much! I am now thinking about overclocking it... SW: Mountain Lion HW: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R ver 2.0 BIOS FB, Intel i7 950, stock Intel CPU fan, 24GB (6x4GB) DDR3-1600 (1.65V, ) -In the BIOS screen, the overall CPU temp shows about 30C-32C at idle...

I followed the Unibeast Mountain Lion instructions up to the point of rebooting. When I try to boot, it gets to: Verifying DMI Pool.......... - It displays the '-', but just hangs there. I installed the OS on the Samsung 840 SSD... I can boot off of the thumb drive and have it start up...

And by not powering on, I mean nothing at all. No response at all when I push the power button. Usually, when I plug in the ethernet cord, I get link and activity lights, when there is AC flowing to the power supply, but nothing now. Fried power supply? Fried CPU? Fried motherboard? I checked...

Gigabyte X58A-UD3R build, Fried the CPU?? Arrrgggghhhh!!! I powered up the machine last night to do the install and went into the BIOS to change boot order, check RAM, list disks, ... After navigating around looking at things, I saw in horror that the CPU temperature was above 100C!! Before I...

Thanks. Gonna give a shot at installing Mountain Lion tonight. I am planning on partitioning the SSD with some space for Linux. Should I install Linux first and then Mountain Lion or vice versa? I remember reading something about a nice Mac bootloader to use.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will have a check tonight on the Atheros. I might just pick up a USB wifi stick as an interim fix. Any suggested USB wifi sticks? I will definitely go through and figure out how to build my own DSDT. Is there any way to make important sticky articles/links more...

Ok. I'm a complete newby to Hackintosh, but am working on my first install. Thanks to this site and everybody who is doing such great work! I have an HP ProBook 4730s (Intel 4 core i7 2630QM, 8GB DDR3, 240GB Intel 330 SSD, 17" 1600x900 display, Intel HD3000+ATI6740 (turned off)) that I just...

Ok. Thanks for the reply. Use the Gigabyte because it will be easier and/or more compatible? I was planning on installing Mountain Lion. Hmmmm... I was planning on jut partitioning the SSD. Thanks. -Ralph

Ok. I have decided I'd like to build a hackintosh dual boot OS/X and Linux box for home use. While I work with Macs, Linux and unix boxes all day, I can't afford to buy a Mac Pro. Installing Linux is a no-brainer for me and have installed OS/X numerous times on Macs, ..., but I have never...
