Asus X79 Sabertooth | Core i7-3960x (Successful)

[boynep]

Hello Everyone,

Being inspired from mitchellk's build. I put together a machine similar to this. This is my first attempt to hackintosh.

My configuration is:

core i7 3. 930K
Asus sabertooth x79
Gigabyte AMD 6850
OCZ agility 3 120GB SSD
Corsair H80 cooler
and
4 GB of RAM which I am going to upgrade later as I spent all my money on the processor.


I have got bios version 1104 x64.

I installed lion without any issues then rebooted into lion using unibeast. Then I installed unibeast exactly as shown in the screenshot except nvidia drivers amd readon plugin instead of that.

After installing multibeast when I restart I get white apple logo for few seconds and nothing happens. Nothing comes up on the screen. Is there anything I am doing wrong. Could someone help me with that please.

Cheers,


EDIT:Sorry for the above question I just had to do graphics enabler=no. Solved now.

Cheers

Inspired by this thread I went down the same route X79 Sabertooth and i7 3960X and thanks to mitchellk's fine work detailing his steps I had a trouble free install of a dual boot Mac OSX Lion and Windows 7. Both work great and have just passed the 48hr stability test with OCCT and Prime5 with a 4.9Ghz overlock and temps not pushing over high 60's with 100% load. I have mounted the 360 rad and fans on the back of the case to help with cooling and this has definetly made a big difference.
I have no audio or sleep problems, in fact I have yet to find an issue to gripe about, even the migration from my old mac running snow leopard was effortless, only issue was with Adobe Application Manager which required a fresh install on the new machine.

In mac it made 14.08 / 50.03 in Cinebench.

THANKS mitchellk!!

Hey i have the same computer for a about a month now and everything was stable until this morning that i tried to turn on my computer and the screen froze at the tonymac boot screen(the one before the apple logo)... What can it be?

 

[boynep]

Can you boot from unibeast usb ?

Yes, Tried and tested works smooth except sleep.

Did you do anything different from the lion install? (aside from using the ML unibeast app)
Same multibeast options?

Thanks!

Everything ok on my build except..

Hi, I am new to hackintosh but i managed to get everything set up properly on my asus sabertooth x79 mobo, one thing though I can only get it to work with cpus=1, if i dont put those flags in it gets stuck on the apple logo screen with the spinning wheel frozen. Also it does not show up in about this mac that an i7 is running.

Any ideas on how to fix this, would really appreciate.

Thanks
