GA-Z77MX-D3H-TH working but needs help

[MrCurious]

Greetings. This is my 1st post so be gentle.

I tried Unibeast for Mountain Lion on a recent PC but got errors, so I decided to raid the piggy bank and went shopping. The results are very pleasing as ML installed with no problems - but I do need help now. Anyway, this is what I used:

• GA-Z77MX-D3H-TH mobo, as I was hoping to get Thunderbolt to work
• i7-3770 Ivy-Bridge cpu
• 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz DDR3 ram
• 480GB Intel 520 series SSD
• TSST DVD burner
• ATI Radeon HD4870 graphics with 1GB ram
• Thermotake XT 775W PSU
• Antec Skeleton case, to be placed in an acrylic cube
• OS X 10.8.1

I would like to ask your guidance on where to find answers to the following issues that I am having:

1. Can't ever come back from sleep mode, so currently turned off sleep, and have to shutdown each night
2. Don't know how to enable the 2 Thunderbolt connections
3. Don't know how to enable USB3
4. Can't directly boot from SSD. I have to leave the Unibeast USB thumb drive in place and then boot from THAT into the SSD. I have the SSD as a boot drive in the BIOS, but it won't work without the USB Unibeast, which is rather slow to boot from.

Thanks for the fantastic stuff on this site. It means I can run OS X on my desktop, without tying up my MacBook Pro, and have decent performance too .

Thanks in advance,

Installed Multibeast and ticked all the boxes - system totally stuffed!

Wiped all and started from scratch. This time I only ticked the Easybeast and lo and behold my system now boots from the SSD. Great.

Ran Multibeast again and installed USB3 support. Looking good, so I rebooted. System stuffed again! Killed all USB 2 interfaces. Auch!

What am I to do? (Start again, again?)

I have the same MB and have solved most of the problems.

First, you only need the following settings in MultiBeast:

UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
Drivers & Bootloaders >> Drivers >> Audio >> Universal >> VoodooHDA VT2021 0.2.7.2
Drivers & Bootloaders >> Drivers >> Network >> maolj's AtherosL1cEthernet

Make sure your GraphicsEnabler setting is No

Also if you intend to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 then you will need to disable vt-D in your BIOS settings.

Good Luck, if you solve the USB 3.0 problem let me know.

Cheers
