hi. I have a confusing issue I'd like to get feedback on. I have 32gb RAM that can either do stock 1333 or XMP 1600 but I get higher geek bench 3 64bit score when the memory is set to 1333 than I do at 1600. I've attached comparison scores. Can anybody solve this mystery? btw, i'm on GA...

Hi Piso, were you able to successfully install from USB boot drive and reboot into fresh El Capitan install? Or did you have to perform the convoluted workaround from the original post? I have the same mobo and cpu as you but with gtx 780 and I can successfully install but it hangs at reboot...

Hi. So I was wondering if a good samaritan can provide some advice or help me. i just recently Q-flashed my mb to F12 from F11 but after the flashing, and then I loaded and applied my old saved F11 BIOS settings instead of Optimized defaults. Now when I reboot, my display doesn't show any image...

Do these 850 Pros need TRIM on Yosemite to get their proper speeds? I know Yosemite changed TRIM support on Macs. SPBaller and iHack, are you guys using Yosemite? Did you guys use TRIM? thx

nevermind. it seems to be working. it just doesn't show up in system report for some odd reason.

Hi I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH F11 Bios with 3770k i7 cpu. I've had thunderbolt functionality while on ML but all of a sudden I've lost it along the way. I'm on Mavericks and I cannot for the life of me figure out how it was lost. In system report, theres no thunderbolt and under network in...

5 min power down worked for me. My case began when I ejected and removed a usb thumb drive. A very benign procedure I've performed in the past without a problem. So is this a hardware or software issue? I'm on 10.9.3.

Hi all, I'm still on 10.8.2 and want to update to 10.9.3. Does this require me to reselect all my Motherboard BIOS settings and MultiBeast/Chameleon Settings again? Or will they be preserved through the mavericks 10.9.3 update from 10.8.2? Stork mentions that only Audio and Trim needs to...

I agree. I'd rather have a properly running system than something that isn't but performs better. Strange that my i7 3770k with 32gb 1600mhz ddr3 ram gets only 11.5k in 64bit multi-core Geekbench 3. I've seen imac equivalents and other hackintosh equivalents benchmark at 13k and up. I may think...

First of all, thanks for your help. You've been one of the most helpful on this forum. Much appreciated. Also, I just want to ask what dropSSDT=Yes does and do I need to rename the i7-3770K-SSDT.aml you provided in this thread to SSDT.aml ?

thanks for the reply. I just used the i7-3770K-SSDT.aml you provided in this thread, which I believe is the stock. I have the mac mini 6,2 definition with the 3770k cpu. Attached is my chameleon plist image. Should I go ahead and change to PCIRoot=1 and DropSSDT=Yes in Chameleon Wizard? Btw, I...

Hi Stehor, I was recently told that I need to add DropSSDT=Yes to Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist. So I tried it and rebooted, then ran Geekbench3 and now I'm getting around 11200 in 64 bit multicore instead of the 13200 that I was originally getting. I removed that line and rebooted but now I'm...

Complete beginner's question: Does the information in post#1 also apply to ML OS's other than 10.8.2? I'm assuming not for mavericks. thanks.

Hi. I was wondering if anybody here has experience running Avid MC7 on GA-Z77X-UP5-TH / 3770K / OS 10.8.2. I'm attempting to transition from Premiere Pro CS6 to MC7 and was looking for feedback on compatibility and stability with this particular system. btw, I have a single gtx 580...

Is there any workaround where you don't need to reinstall Chimera/Chameleon?

Hi, I'm a fairly newbie to hackintosh and I read that a viable way to use DiskWarrior with a hackintosh is: "if you suspect the boot disk need repair - first "disk image" clone it with Carbon Copy Cloner (which may report issues with it). Then run diskwarrior on the disk image. Once the image...

hmm... I do have the 3770K version, but I think my problem is that I only have F4 Bios instead of F11 that I thought I had. EDIT: I just updated to F11 and now my bios screen looks exactly like yours, but it still won't let me manipulate the BIOS Turbo ratios. Below is screenshot proving I do...

Hi stehor, I'm just following up about the great system profile advice you gave me. So far, my system is running fine. But I just have one minor concern. While running Chameleon Wizard, does it hurt the system if I didn't specifically choose 'Update' bootloader and used one of the 'boot0xxx'...

wow, thanks for providing the details for your build. I'm essentially a noobie and have the same CPU/mobo bios f11 combo as you, but I don't seem to have the ability to OC the CPU in the BIOS as you do. Internal CPU PLL is missing on the screenshot page you posted. The Turbo ratios can't be...

Hi wizb98y, I'm a bit of newbie to hackintosh and would love to use the latest diskwarrior 4.4 on my hackintosh os 10.8.2. I just want to verify with you that I need to use disk image clone for your method to work and that I can't just use bootable volume clone. Thanks for your insight.
