My Zotac GT640 passive cooled took on a new lease of life since it turns out natively supported by OSX Mojave when operating as a Mac Pro and resolves the otherwise lack of Metal acceleration. So I can drive three 1920x1200 screens in a dead silent machine with no moving parts (NOFEN passive...

For me the NVIDIA web driver stopped working after the Supplemental Update. I plugged in an USB card with the installer I used for the original install (says bundle 14.6.02) and was able to downgrade. Install succeeded and now the web driver works again (version 387.10.10.10.40.129) with the...

It worked as well on my GA-Z170MX Gaming 5 running High Sierra. Although the patcher printouts looked scary the end result actually worked. After a reboot the Headphones entry in the Sound control panel now appears/disappears instantly if I plug in/unplug a headphone.

Coming in late on this topic early 2018 I found this article took out some complexity on Sierra 10.12.6: https://nickwoodhams.com/getting-your-nvme-ssd-working-on-macos-sierra-10-12-2/ Following it enabled a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 500GB on GIGABYTE GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 microATX.

I finally was able to get my GA-Z170MX Gaming 5 with 6700K to boot and load the Nvidia web drivers on Sierra after endless frustration. The 100 series boards need NVRAM emulation and it turned out my NVRAM emulation driver install did not end up in the proper place. I use the latest Clover...

Thanks I was able to get audio on my GA-Z170MX Gaming 5 working with Sierra using this script. I am using the optical audio.

Now you end up on the contributing side :) If you can remember the DSDT settings/drivers it could help me. I got this board also. I got it to boot now two hours ago so I´m at least on the Multibeast level of things now. I followed the thread by imablackhat...

RehabMan suggested: Apparently this helped paulkol. But not clear which of the suggestions were the key enabler(s) ? I tweaked my EFI as well now per above as best possible and will see tomorrow night if I get past my stuck i7-7700K ++++++++ boot.

I built one in 2012. It has been a complete success. A Gigabyte Micro ATX motherboard, Core i7, the key components was the NOFAN silent power supply and their passive cooling radiator. A GT640 video card enabled triple 1920x1200 screens. Can run OSX El Capitan. No moving parts.

I´ve been using a NoFan based build since 2011 with no problems. It uses the first incarnation of the passive cooling radiator, a Gigabyte Micro ATX motherboard, that low profile Vengeance RAM and a Zotac GT640 passive cooled graphics card, and SSDs. I wanted a totally silent solution so I could...

In my case the crash was caused by the NoMachine client app (remote login terminal client). The version on my machine was not compatible with 10.8.5. I assume they have since released an updated one. I moved it to the trash bin and all was then fine. Same thing happened on my Macbook some...

I got Voodoo working with the analog rear output. I see on other forums people have been doing this voodoo stuff for some time and have the SPDIF going. I will look into what makes up the voodoo kext. A writeup of my recipe comes later this week. EDIT: I forgot a great workaround :) Plugging...

Great, I got my Gigabyte Sniper.G1 M3 up and running with Mountain Lion and core i7 3770K using these settings.

Success: GA-Z77 G1.Sniper M3 / Core i7 3770K / ZOTAC GEFORCE GT640 Zone Edition / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 My beloved GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 died some days ago from the ATX power supply throwing an arc (blue spark) across a failing mains switch ("welding noise…") which it seems caused power supply...

Thanks this helped a lot for me moving to Mountain Lion. I built a silent computer based on the taiwanese NoFan computer case (their signature feature being the huge circular cooling element occupying most of the case internals). Fanless power supply as well. SSD drives so no moving parts. For...
