Core i3 3.1 GHz
PNY 9800 GT

Just Finished installing Mountain Lion for about the 20th time, but this time I was able to boot from the hard drive for the first time. I have not tested everything yet. I will post problems as they come up. But right now the system is solid. running bench marks after This post.
Installation:
At this point you should have a ML boot USB with unibeast.
Set Bios Per tonymac artical ( http://www.tonymacx86.com/99-quick-guide-configuring-uefi-gigabyte-s-7-series-lga-1155-boards.html)
Run UniBeast USB, with PCIRootUID=0 flag.
open disk utility and partition 1 TB drive in half, (This is just what i used. you can use what ever drive you have.)
Installed ML. on first partition and reboot.
Boot with unibeast USB with PCIRootUID=0 and choose The new mountain lion drive.
Now you should be on Desktop With networking and full video but no audio.
Run MB 4.6.1 and choose "User DSDT" with no DSDT; MacPro 3,1 in system definitions; AtherosL1cEthernet under networking make sure to check Repairs Permissions, Thats it.
Goto System/Library/Extensions and delete AppleHDA.kext.
Download VoodooHDA 2.7.3 and install "http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/downloads/list"
Remove USB and reboot with ML harddrive First Boot.

System :
GA-Z77M-D3H
Core i5 3450
ATI 5770
Seagate 500 sata2

ML installed ok.

Everything but sleep working.

Any tips to make it sleep?

What symptom are you having?

I would say it is the video card. I had a gtx 550ti that would sleep but would crash on wake up. Plus other problems. I went back to 9800gt and everything works but duel monitors.

I have the GA-Z77X-D3H with i7-3770K and onboard graphics and 16gb ram.
Is there a DSDT file for this and do I need one?
Any tips for a successful install with this board?
Thanks!

 

[POTTSBURG]

From what I have read here, is that the GA-Z77 boards do not need a DSDT.
My board worked out of the box. Follow the bios settings in this post and it should be good

hello,

- Except sleep, does wakeup work also?
- What kind of issues do you have with TimeMachine? what are the symtomps?
- What about the audio quality? is it good enough? Does SPDIF work?
- What kind of connector for video do you use? VGA/DVI/HDMI?

thx

I have the Z77M-D3H-MVP, confirmed Mountain Lion is working here too. Glad that you got audio to work (mine doesn't yet)... you have Via VT2021, right? Does the VoodooHDA fix work consistently or do you get occasional kernel panics?
