Notes:

• The reason we patch for the HD4000 is so you can use AirPlay. It also allows you to use 2 more monitors. With a GTX670 that gives you 5 total screens.
• I’m using the latest BIOS update
• Thunderbolt
  • Works but you must boot with the device plugged in. No hot-plugging.

Alfa I wanted to thank you a lot for this guide, my very similar parts are coming the next days and I am sure I will make it with this!

Hi,

Thanks for pointing me towards this updated thread. Where do I find the download for "Patched MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0"? That's the only step I haven't done on my current build. I'm wondering if it might fix my aperture Loupe problem with updated graphics drivers? Is that what this update is geared for?

 

[oxoCreations]

Thanks !

It's fabulous for a great mac pro !

Can you complete your guide to overclock the system ?

thx !

Alfa,

I'd recommend everyone to install the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0. It adds support for the chipset and updated video drivers, and it will correctly display Intel 7 Series Chipset in System Profiler, no need for the injection.

Thanks for the quick fix on the "Unknown AHCI Standard Controller"!!

hey anyone, I need your help. I'm a total noob and use almost the same built as you do, but only with the graphic card and using the HD 4000. i read the directions as the instructions said and when I restart, i get the "Reboot and Select proper Boot devices or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key." My motherboard has the bios F11 and using the Cooler Master HAF X.

 

[adamh2431]

Nevermind. I updated the BIOS to F12e and it worked, but when I want to shut down, it keeps restarting.

Just to show you guys, this is my setup (Z77X-UP5-TH) now working 10.8.2 in full order (using Multibeast 5.1.3).....
