Hi,

My config does not work in any way i tried...
Here are my specs:
- Asus P8Z68 Deluxe motherboard
- 2x4 Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600
- Nvidia GTX560 Ti

It starts with IBoot, then F5 for refresh, insert Mac OSX and then gives me panic kernels. I have tried with speed step turbo off and on, still same problem. I believe it is something with the graphic card. If I type -v command, it shows nvidia card UNKNOWN
So... don't waste your time, it doesn't work (installed this thing 10 times)

i don't think that card is supported yet. i think the 470 is the highest as of right now.

Anyone getting freezeups in their Hackintosh build? I get these 1 sec freezes when doing something graphics related, like resizing windows or loading web pages. Tried with a Magic Mouse, USB wireless mouse, and USB wired mouse, all the same. I looked in Activity Monitor and Windowsserver always spikes up in CPU usage when doing those things.

Also, kernel_task is taking up 90 threads, if that's relevant.

Any Ideas how to solve?

Do you have a SSD drive? I used to have that freezeups cause of SSD not properly set up in power management options.

Yes I have a Vertex 3 SSD. I will check power management options and update. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes Tha same problem here.
You have to uncheck "hotswap" option in bios and uncheck option which allow to switch off disks if they are not used. This second option is in power management in osx.
No freezeups anymore.

I made the changes and it looks like my build is running smoothly. Thanks, vdmesis!

Edit: I still have some freezeups, but not as frequently; it's much improved. I'll see if I can tune it up a bit more.

Bit of a bump here but I'm getting the freezes too. Hot Plug is disabled, OS X power management tweaked to prevent spin down. I'm on a Crucial M4 and the freezes are getting quite noticeable now and the changes don't seem to have helped at all.

I'm really not liking this motherboard at the moment - I keep getting the double post at cold boot too - I've set BCLK to 100, Internal PLL Overvoltage is disabled, Power On by PCIE enabled but it's still doing it. The mic in doesn't seem to work under OS X either.

I never had these issues when I was using Gigabyte boards. :
