Comments

- My PCs have 2 main jobs and those are Graphic Design and Gaming
- Also developing websites with PHP and MySQL but that requires no special hardware =)
- This was my 1st intel and Iam glad that I switched
- CPU is fine for my needs/money and after few AMDs - case seems like a freezer now =)
- Video card works great and keeps silent even with 2 fans
- Had few Gigabyte motherboards before (some great, some not so much) and cause my GPU choice was with Asus I also chose Asus board (almost ironic when I look at it from Hackintosh perspective =P )
- PSU is not loud and only reason I took it cause my older Blue Storm 2 died
- For keyboard and mouse I am using Logitech for more then a decade so I just continued tradition and it works great

Installation was done via UniBeast made Lion USB + MultiBeast for Lion

Sound (ALC887 on board)
audio.png
- This time around I managed to get ALC887 working over ACL8xxHDA + Rollback + 887/888b enabler instead of VoodooHDA 2.7.3! After MultiBeast installation apply kext provided below via kext utility and then restar, worked for me great!
ALC887vdHDA_6Ch_RMic_SPDIF.kext.zip

- Speakers work in 2 ways:

1. Making Aggregate device/Multi-Output device in Audio MIDI Setup or;
2. In my case I got adapter with my speakers + I took RCA to 3.5" cable and connected my speakers like it is shown in the picture below!

GPU
- OpenCL Enabler 10.7.2 and separately installed Cuda 4.1 from nVidia. Modified (after MultiBeast installed and reboot) "info.plist" for NVDAGF100Hal.kext in S/L/E

<key>NVidiaRM</key>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
			<string>com.apple.nvidia.nvGF100hal</string>
			<key>IOClass</key>
			<string>NVDAGF100HAL</string>
			<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
			<string>IOService</string>
			<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
			<string>0x120010de</string> ----- this line replaced all other IDs
			<key>IOProbeScore</key>
			<integer>60000</integer>
			<key>IOProviderClass</key>
			<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
		</dict>

and modified "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" in /Extra

<key>PCIRootUID</key>
	<string>0</string>

Some benchmarks
CineBench.png
GeekBench.png
- My Windows 7 score is 8112

NET/LAN (Realtek 8111e on board)
- Used Realtek Gigabit Ethernet 2.0.6 for 10.7.kext, result is same as in Windows7


Micronet Bluetooth (bought it long ago, like 2004):
- Works OOB, discovers phones, file transfers...I do not have Magic Mouse to test it on with.

If anyone finds any help in this I am glad =), cheers!

very nice indeed. it would be great if we could get your gtx 560ti fermi info/data over to the tonymacx86 graphics card database wiki.
nice build

Hi there,

there is already plenty info on the gtx560 ti subject so I dont feel it is needed to place it in few places, might be wrong ofc. =)

Here is already modified kext with correct id and all:
NVDAGF100Hal.kext.zip
GPU in sys info.png
One should not forget to make modification in /extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist and install Cuda for Mac from nVidia!

Take care.

Hi there,

all flags that you have used are for graphics so they wont really help you with your issue, also I can not give you any good advice because your motherboard and audio chipset are different.

Your MOBO has 7.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec) while my has ALC887...and last but not least you are installing SL which gave me some issues also.

Best you can do is delete appleHDA before applying VoodoooHDA and always remember to fix permissions via MultiBeast System Utilities or via Kext Utility!

Take care!

 

[cocrea]

Where to delete appleHDA , these pictures are before installating of anything .
(I am not even coming to the installation .
I see the grey apple with the loading screen after that it shows me the message "You need to restart your Computer . Hold down Power ......."

I haven't got anything on my HDD yet ?!

 

[magpies]

Do you have sleep working?
