Multibeast 4.3.2, using the Easybeast method. See my build in Golden Builds for a walk through.

Dose ASRock X79 Extreme4 + i7 3820 can make it ??? i see most of the motherboards are ASUS and Gigabyte !

I finally got my Rampage IV Extreme build post up. Hope it's useful to some of you!

Re: If intel new X79 support lion?

I'm trying to build an X79 / 3930K hackintosh. I have an Intel DX79SI motherboard and am having no luck with it. I can get Lion to barely run, mouse pointer is very slow and programs freeze with windows half open. I'm thinking of returning this motherboard and getting either an Asus X79P79 or a Gigabyte X79-UD5. Any recommendations or advice anyone can give me on either of these motherboards? I've had good luck with Gigabyte on other builds but I wonder if I'm asking for trouble with the X79.

Thanks

This issue is because the TSC of cores is out of Sync
Try this one on Extra/Extensions Folder.
VoodooTSCSync.kext

Using cpus=1 flag may work tooVoodooTSCSync.kext.zip

I have my hackintosh working perfectly, asus pro and 3930k.

I can't get it to restart, shut down, or boot. Those are my only issues. Scanned through this thread and couldn't find an answer.

IF anyone knows please don't hesitate to help.

Thanks!

Hi,

Try the evoreboot.kext from MultiBeast. Should work for restart/shutdown.

I actually skimmed a bit more and saw somebodies post about that kext. I googled and downloaded it, it didn't say anything about being part of multibeast, but I assume there's only one.

any alternatives?


Thanks
