Thanks Alfa for the great guide!!. I have managed to run ML 10.8.2 fully on this similar machine with display card GT640 and hD4000.
But after reinstallation... i m getting "NVidia ROm Patching Failed " Error. I recreated the unibeast drive 3 times but all in vein.. I hope somebody will help me regarding this.

Actually wanted to ask u something.. I have removed the GT640 Card.. so do I still need to add this string?. GraphicsEnabler=No is for Grafic cards rite?
But I m using HD4000 on board.. I m still confused coz My onboard memory used by ML is 64mb. How should I increase this?

Please!!

to increase the memory of HD4000
it is on the bios
should review the guide for configuration, I used the GT640, the HD4000 runs very poorly on my i7 3770

HD4000 Memory Size to 32MB GRAPHICS enabler YES in org.chameleon.boot.plist
GT640 GRAPHICS ENABLER NO in org.chameleon.boot.plist

use smbios Mac mini.6,2 is very good

I would love to follow this guid, as I have a

GA-Z77X-UP5-TH and an i5 processor, but I have a GTX 560 (non ti). Will this work?​

yes it should work, just your video card should see it seems to me that we need a patch for what works in the latest version of mountain lion

 

[Gerard71]

I'm sorry, I'm having a little trouble understanding a little of what you said. You're saying that 'yes, the rest of the guide applies other than the video card part, and tonymac needs to create a patch for the gtx 560'?

One thing that I'm having a problem with is where the Op says use these bios settings. I only saw one page, and it was just the initial screen with some default info.

I'm sorry for the translation I use google translation, I am French


for the video card you will have tried to see if it works well


some 450 GTS, 560 GTX TI does not work well with mountain lion


if there is a problem with your video card you will have to look for the solution on the forum ....

BIOS settings are important, it is not necessary to touch the other settings (xhci mode enable all port usb3 , disable all ports usb 2.0)

This week I’m going to take create a build based on Alfa’s “recipe” located in the first post of this thread. Here are my key components:

◦ Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Thunderbolt
◦ Processor: Intel Core i7-3770
◦ Graphics: ZOTAC ZT-60301-10P GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready
◦ Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Before I start, though, I just want to ask some initial questions.

1. Do you all recommend any changes to Alfa's installation guide in post #1 based on experience since it was first published?

2. In order to install the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 as downloaded from Apple, do I need to change the profile in Multibeast to Macbook pro, as many have indicated in this thread, or leave iMac 12.2 as Alfa indicated? Or should I use Alfa’s pre-patched package?

3. While my GPU is in the GTX 670/680 family, it is not identical to the board that Alfa uses. Should this change anything I do, such as the edits Alfa recommends making to the org.chameleon.Boot.plist?

Many thanks!

for i7 3770 should VT-d disabled in bios


the video card is a nvidia KEPLER
settings must be the same


smbios
6.2 Mac mini is the best
I can pass you my extra folder for i7 3770, there is in dsdt for HDMI audio
put ALC898 with dsdt
in MultiBeast
