Moarfish's build - GA-B75M-D3H i5 3570K

[LukeAnnett]

Woah! Thanks... That's some mega stuffing around but I'll give it a go when I get some time... Here I go again......

@Moarfish: I have similar configuration GA B75M D3V + i5 3450
I have several Qs:
1. I cannot set my XMP in bios to setup memory to 1600!… :/ I don't know why? Is it because I don't have d3h version?
2. Can you recommend me SSD which has a slightly better performance and still works OOB? (If you can recommend one from this link : http://www.winwin.rs/racunari-i-komponente/racunarske-komponente/ssd-diskovi.html , or just give me a list of compatible ones) THX
3. How complicated is to setup SSD on ML?

Here is the comparison Chart
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=2&pids=4203,4315

To highlight, B75M-D3P got these while D3H do not:
Display Port Connector.
An additional Marvell 88SE9172 SATA Controller

of course, for a higher price.
D3P $91.99 vs D3H $74.99

So why pay for the additional for something you don't need? Most people who use B75 chips are for the low cost and D3H is the best choice at the moment unless you need display port connector. However, if you have the budget for a display port monitor, you would go for a high end graphic card don't you?

Thanks, so they both have the same compatibility for Hackintosh? i think i can get the D3P for around $80 after price match.

I would say:
Crucial M4 or Samsung 830
Well proven SSD that you can find in many hackintosh around this forum.

If you are getting the GA-B75M-D3P, it's the recommended one in the list from TonyMac and the team.

So, for sure, it's compatible.

I already have GA B75M D3V! I think its the same thing, right?

Both D3V and D3H support XMP Memory according to Gigabyte web site.

Both D3V and D3H support XMP Memory according to Gigabyte web site.

I cannot get settings for XMP :/
I don't know why? I have 2x4gb Kingston 1600Mhz HyperX.
Simply, I don't have option for XMP… :/

@Moarfish, can you recommend me some SSD with this configuration? 64, 128gb, -150$?

 

[sppaschal]

I have the Samsung 830 series 128gb and i can say that is very fast at booting and at all the applications

Someone said Intel 330 series is good and compatible too…

Because, comparing this two SSD i get this results:

1. Intel330 60gb - 500mb/400mb - 75 euros
2. Samsung830 64gb - 520/160mb - 71 euros

Isn't Intel better for the price?
