This is the first hackintosh I have tried, although I have built many computers before.
I might choose a difficult board for a first time, but I think it turn out fine.

The whole idea came from finding the Fractal Design Array case.
It has room for 6 3,5" and 1 2,5" drives, making it a perfect and stylish choice.
The power supply have is 300w and has 7 sata connectors (no power for graphics cards)

It is possible to fit an ATX power supply and full size graphics card with some modding,
but that's not for me right now. I decided to go with the Ivy Bridge HD4000.
The main purpose for this box will be xbmc media center, surfing and basic gaming.

Building the system was straight forward except for an issuse with the Scythe Shuriken
colliding with the RAM, it also block the PCI slot for future use so I use the stock
cooler for now. It's quite silent and the PSU makes more noise then the CPU cooler.

In BIOS I set AHCI mode and changed RAM to 1600 (it detect 1333 as default)
Created UniBeast USB and install Lion according to the guides
Removed AppleHDA and install VoodooHDA 2.7.3 sound works.
I think I will not do anything more until support for HD4000

Meh they worked the first time :s where do you put the pictures?
 
Trying again now :)
 
What's working?

- Sound (with Vodoo)
- LAN ?

Which MultiBeast Settings did you use? DSDT/non-DSDT? Sleep Mode working?
 
I now installed Mountain Lion from scratch

I used Easybeast, network/Lnx2mac, audio/voodoohda 2.7.3 and TRIM enabler,
and afterward installed Chimera 1.11

Everything works, LAN, sleep, sound, HD4000

There is although a new problem with sound that wasn't in Lion.
I cannot save the VoodooHDA prefs and have to set them every time i restart.
Check "Use SSE2" in VoodooHDA pref and in Audio & MIDI setup change output to 44100Hz, then the sound is good
 
Hi!

I am working on my first hackintosh, and i keep running into some trouble. I have pretty much the same build as you do, at least same motherboard and CPU. After I install multibeast with all of the setting you suggest my computer has a kernal panic upon start up. It wont let me edit lines out when doing -v. any suggestions? maybe i am skipping or missing a step from your notes below.IMG_1574.jpgIMG_1575.jpgIMG_1576.jpg
 
i have the same motherboard as you and i got everything working but my sounds sometimes is realy bad, do you have the same problem?
and the ram : if i change it to 1600, in syst. it show 1 running at 1600Mhz an the other at 1333 Mhz (their both 1600 MHZ 8GB)

thanks
