emailbox_2009 said:I have the same problems and cannot fix "CPU Unknown" issue. I even made system update to version Lion 10.7.4 given to developers. I feel we all need to shift to 10.8 for our new system boards
I'm having same troubles with Intel X79 SI board, I also have Intel i7 3930K processor and GeForce GTX 570 video card. I was wondering where or how I could get it to work? maybe write custom BSDT file. Please could some one help me installing OSX on my mackintosh.mickguz said: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

In your bios press F5 for default settings. Reboot. Then change the Ai settings to XMP or Manuell then turn off spedstep and turboboost. then change the multiplier to a fixed number. Or just do it automatically with ai suite in windows. Works fine for me.
Restart and shutdown work fine but just a little slow at times. Sleep does not work.
If you want to save money shut the system off when your not working. Boot times on a good sata 3 ssd are under 20 seconds. But if you really need it to work then buy a mac pro with the same performance for more then twice the price.
Dont forget that its a hack!
