Here is the link to my guide http://hacksbyalfa.tumblr.com/post/24389831290/thunderbolt
I'll make an official Build post ASAP. I want to get the kinks worked out. Till then you have that guide. Enjoy!

old:
Just ordered the stuff for my build:

I have a 3770k and an Asus GTX 670 waiting for it. Since we don't have drivers for the GTX 670 I'll be using a GTX 460 out of my other build for a bit.

This board seems identical to the Z77A-GD65 and people have had success running Lion on that. Hoping the same for this board.

Here is a link: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?p=384005#p384005 to why I think the thundbolt controller will work either right out of the box or when the Ivy Bridge Macs are released.

So anyone else hackintoshing this board?

Looking forward to hearing how this goes,….

Do you have any Thunderbolt devices to test with,…?

Re: Thunderbolt MB: MSI Z77A-GD80 Anyone else taking a stab?

You're right. I need to get something. Most likely the LaCie eSATA Hub

Excellent, no need to put the horse before the cart though,......

Once you get Intel Thunderbolt working in OS X, then you can worry about Thunderbolt test devices,.....

Your a Pioneer my friend,....

Good luck!

Let us know how it goes,....

I might be able to borrow one of the LaCie SSDs from work. If not I'll just bring my desktop in to test with. Don't really want to buy the eSATA hub since I have no current use for it.
