[Success] i5-4690K + GTX770 + Gigabyte z97x Gaming 3

Hi all,

Just a quick guide to let you know that I finally got the above mentioned build fully working sound included.

I've repeated the installation from a clean Yosemite install and it's still working.

Have a slight issue with Reboot and Shutdown delays, but except from that HAPPY !

What you will need :

1 - Yosemite Unibeast stick
2 - Multibeast Yosemite edition
3 - Multibeast Maverick edition (yes, yes, that one as well)

For Unibeast creation you can follow the very good existing guide : http://www.tonymacx86.com/445-unibeast-install-os-x-yosemite-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html

Once that is at hand, I had some issues installing it. Kept on having the installation stoping half way there. The only way I managed the full installation is by following the next steps :

1 - Make sure you install F5 BIOS version for this MotherBoard.
2 - Change the settings from the BIOS as explained on the following link : http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-gigabyte-z97x-gaming-3-i7-4790s-780-gtx.html
3 - Boot from Unibeast usb with the following flags : GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 -no-zp -x
4 - Follow the installation as per Tony's guide (steps 5 to 8): http://www.tonymacx86.com/445-unibeast-install-os-x-yosemite-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
5 - Once restarted from the installation, boot from Unibeast stick. Highlight your Mac disk and boot with the Flags: GraphicsEnabler=Yes -x
6 - Complete the post installation wizard
7 - Start Multibeast Yosemite edition and run the profile attached to this thread (YoseMultibeast - episode 1.mb) ==> Notice no audio is being installed THAT IS NORMAL
8 - Reboot the system and boot from disk.

At this point your mac is partially working. Well all works except Audio. I tried patching ALC1150 with different kexts and scripts to no available. So I went back to my Maverick installation and noticed it worked like a charm. What the hell, why would a Maverick kext not work on Yosemite, correct? WELL IT DOES THE JOB LIKE A CHAMP

1 - Start Multibeast Maverick edition and run the second profile attached to this thread (MavMultibeast - episode 2.mb)
2 - Restart and enjoy you tunes, videos and all !

I have not played a lot with Yosemite yet. There might be bugs that I have not yet seen. If you have a similar build -> talk to me ! We might takle them together.

I tested Geekbench (well the 32bits allowed trial). You have the result attached

Thanks for reading
Chris

Hi Bro

I have amlost same bulid like you - but I have gtx 670 2gb.
Tell me what can I do with GraphicsEnabler - set still yes or no ?

and what network card you use on this bulid ?

Many thx

cheers
Matt

 

[tonymac_addict]

Yo !

The build has changed a bit since (my GTX770 is in GPU's heaven as we speak, may Kratos bless her)

Anyway, when I had the GTX I was not using any Graphic Enabler, the card was recogn out of the box. Did not have to do anything.

Regarding the Network card, am using the built-in to the Gigabyte MB, the eKiller one

Let me know if you need anything, I'll see what I can do for you.

Chris

 

[mattiuszek]

ok, I understand

so... you just use multibeast to install drivers for network onboard - ekiller card and she works well ??

 

[tonymac_addict]

Yes sir !

I can check later on when I get home to confirm which kext I installed. Out of memory Multibeast offered 3 or 4.

I had stability issues with one of those
