GA-Z77X-UD5H + GTX670: Multibeast settings

[xenophon61]

Z77X-UD5H (v1.1), 16 GB RAM, i7-3770k, Multibeast
Only 1 hard drive is recognized. When i use the enclosures USB3.0, All the drives are recognized and there is no problem.

I don't think the built-in SATA chipset supports port-multiplication (in order to recognize enclosures with multiple drives].

Myself, I've installed a mini-PCIe card based on the archaic Si3132 chip. It's slow, but reliable.

Of course, there are newer cards with better features and speed. Try macgurus to see the available options.

hmm.. that sucks.. Ya, could be No Port Multiplication. Didn't read that in the Mboard specs tho.

I put in my 4Port SATA "Sonnet Tempo" miniPCI card http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_e4i.html installed the driver for it and it worked! I have 13 internal SATA ports now. Exactly what I needed actually.

It's a sad state of affairs, the SATA connectivity, I mean. There are great multi-bay enclosures, but you get low speed and finnicky operation. Sometimes they don't wake from sleep*, for example.

Still, I think you get a lot of versatility, even with the older cards, like our Sonnets.

Take care.

*if you do run into this problem, i.e. the enclosure not fully waking up after OSX wakes, try the "FixDarwin" Clover flag.

Same Motherboard, Works Great, Same Installation as You

I Used this also: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-ga-z77x-ud5h-tips-yosemite-vs-usb-3-0-a.html


But:

I Bought This card:
BCM94360CD 802.11AC Wifi Wireless Network Card with Bluetooth 4.0 w/ 4 Antennas
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RCKZ3SU

My setup: GA-Z77X-UDH5 rev.1.1 • Core i7-3770K • 10.10 • Uni/Multibeast • 16GB RAM
My Post Installation Settings:

(System Definition Changed to iMac 13,1)

Boot Log Video:[video=youtube;OatRDyoTLGs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OatRDyoTLGs[/video]

When i turned it on with this card installed, it said Wi-fi / Bluetooth was active, but it would not connect to the wireless network or Bluetooth devices.

So, I used the "Continuity Activation Tool" at https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool and followed all the rest of the instructions with it.

system info:

(Card: 2/3 Wifi antenna's plugged, broke one while assembling, Bluetooth ✓ plugged, USB Connected in MB)

Wi-Fi now seems to work fine. But, I connect with Phone's & iPad's, they pair, but they are disconnected within seconds and it says "connection unsuccessful" on my phone. Both my iPhone and iPad this is happening to. My Bluetooth Keyboard stays connected.

System requirements for Continuity - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6555

Does anyone have any advice?

(I've since changed my System Definition to iMac 13,1, Still Same things happening.)

UPDATE: After updating a few BIOS options from here: Quick guide to configuring the UEFI on Gigabyte's 7-series LGA-1155 motherboards (My Processor also allowed me to Enable VT-D Virtualization, and I got my Linux Ubuntu Server Running with VMare Fusion)

1. Handoff Started working, From iPad to Computer and not the other way around. So, that is great.
2. my iPhone 4S call Continuity STOPPED working (using Facetime to receive and resume calls). This stopped working after i updated my phone from 8.1 to 8.2/8.3 and the option disappeared from the phone's Settings>General section. (Prob a 4S Compatibility Issue)
3. Bluetooth still disconnects from iPhone / iPad (Soon After Pair/Connection)

I started a thread here:

To the Thread Author and Everyone else with this Motheroard, I am interested in seeing what you changed from the default BIOS settings.

I don't understand much in the BIOS, i am interested in what you guys changed and why. Thanks
