Hi, My Hackintosh has been working fine for 6+ months and yesterday i took out my M-Audio fast track box {which has been serving as a sound card} to use it on another laptop. However I turned it on later without the audio box and it wont boot up. I plugged the M- Audio box back in but when i...

Thanks, did this and disabled cpu eist in the bios. The cpu now changes between 1.2 and 3.8 correctly. Thanks for your help :D

Sorry, will do.

I have been building my hackintosh and installing mountain lion however, when I open about this mac it displays my i7-3930k as an unknown cpu and in hwmonitor it shows the cpu at 1.2ghz. The cpu should be at 3.2 ghz so i'm losing quite a lot of power. . Thanks for the help

Ah ok. What this new Haswell Socket 1150? How does it compare with the socket 2011?

Yes, the power management problem.

Also in the future, if this problem is sorted, I'd be able to upgrade right? Although would that mean replacing the CPU and motherboard?

So basically its gonna eat up a tone of electricity. Does that also mean that I have to get a high quality cooling system to match? Especially as I plan to overclock. Would you have any recommendations?

Thanks again, Can you explain what you mean by "Power management -- sleep, SpeedStep, etc.". Does this mean that the computer can't sleep? It can only be either on or off? Also I was doing some research on graphics cards and I'm not sure whether to get the Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX660 2GB DDR5 PCI-E...

Thanks a lot! You guys are really helpful. Its a little less daunting now. However, what is the difference between CustoMac Pro Socket 2011 and CustoMac Pro? Which one would be more suited to video editing? I don't mind spending a bit.

Thanks a lot for your response. It really helped By expensive mistakes I mean how likely is it to make a costly mistake in terms of the expensive hardware during building? Or is it simply just put everything in the right place? Thanks

Thanks and fair enough, but are there any dangers of making 'expensive mistakes'? And when completed, are the systems reliable? If I had any problems should I just come here? i mean its not like i can just call apple ;).
