Building Hackintosh for CG with Ivy Bridge

[Gordo74]

As long as you have two matched sticks on Socket 1155, then it is no issue.

CAS Latency 9 or 11 have little impact, if any.

It's the same or a different story?

Is the cpu cooler critical?

Is the cpu cooler critical?

Not at all, unless you plan to overclock, at which point you're limited to 4.2Ghz. If you want to remove that 4.2Ghz cap however, you're going to have to read MacMan's guide here: http://macmanx86.blogspot.ca/2012/05/cu ... ement.html

Finally i got my hardware!

I have managed to set up Lion 10.7.4 following the guide, but i have some problems.

1. Can't boot from disk. Every time i have to boot from usb and then select the Lion disk.
2. What about the wifi card that comes with the motherboard? Can i use it?
3. I have the GTX670 gpu. I read that if you run the macbookpro update it works.
When i try to run the pkg i get a message "this software is not supported on your system".
Am i missing something?

Sorry but this is all new to me.
Thanks

1. Try running the 10.7.4 Combo Update then rerunning MultiBeast and the Macbook Pro update.
2. Nope.
3. See #1.
