Hi, just wanted to know if the Bluetooth and the thunderbolt in the GA-Z77X-UP5-TH worked ? Have anything special to do to make them work?

According to the Customac list, the Bluetooth/WiFi card is not functional in OSX. What I know is that the WiFi certainly won't work but am not exactly sure about the Bluetooth.

Thunderbolt should work but what I heard is that you have to plugin your Thunderbolt devices before turning on the computer for them to work. There is no hotplug. Can other users of this board confirm?

My question is will that 650 watt PSU drive that GTX680? Something, to consider?
