Ep45-ud3lr f11

[Dsynos80]

Hello Admins and fellow users, this is my build:

MB: GIGABYTE EP45-UD3LR F11 (CARTRI BIOS 0.8 AVAILABLE TOO, worked fine with Snow Leopard)
CPU: INTEL Q6600
RAM: 8GB 1066 ADATA
GPU: TWINTECH GTS450 1GB, (SPARKLE 8800GT 512 ALSO AVAILABE, SAVES A LOT FOR TESTING)
PCI: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS FW 800

MY Q IS THIS: I have 10.6.8 running smoothly, installed the new gts450, well, when surfing i ve got the usual freeze after 15 min or so, what is the best method to install 10.8? i have dsdt also for 10.8 for my mobo, but will carti option do? i have installed many times sl so i have the knowledge, but need some more from a more experienced user-admin,

thank you for your time reading this.

Ok Guys, I did it.

Notes.

1: For Gpu, Just use fermi patch from multi beast,after update to 10.8.2 before restarting, NO NVIDIA DRIVER INSTALLED,just latest CUDA,if that matters at all (NO FREEZES
2: Installed NullCPUPowermanagement kext (for overclock reasons)
3: EIST DISABLED IN BIOS

MY plist to provide help to others: (dont mind the hard disk hide options)

Even Better!

Got Latest NVIDIA driver kexts from the 0***6.*** place , installed using Kextbeast, repaired disk permissions, Installed Latest Driver Fermi Patch from M/B 5.1.1 ( The 304 driver ones-second option), now even blue screens are gone when running 3d apps in Dual monitor mode , for example Dirt 2. I hope i gave some help to the community. (asterisks as respect to this site because i dont know what the admins will rightfully say)
