Also, I'm a little curious why you went for GA-B75M-D3H instead of GA-B75M-D3P (linked from the Customac guide)? And given I have the GA-B75M-D3P, is this guide still valid for me? The differences seem to come down to the number of SATA3 ports, a few video output types, and the types of expansion slots (I believe) - http://ee.gigabyte.com/microsites/79/data/models.html
What BIOS version are you running?
GA-B75M-D3P is more expensive than GA-B75M-D3H with additional features that I DON'T need.
I choose B75 chips because of its cheap price so I pick the cheapest one that fits all my need. If it is not the $$ that matter, why not go for Z77 instead?
DON'T Need features include:
- Display port connector. (My monitor do not have one and I am fine with DVI)
- Extra SATA 3 ports. (I just need one port for my SSD, and the extra ports are using 3rd Party Chipset "Marvell 88SE9172 chip", not sure if it works with ML 10.8 or not)
The features above need extra cost and I don't need it. $$ saved.
I did not update my BIOS as it is running good. I have to check the BIOS version if you want to know. However, different BIOS are all fine to work with my guide as you do not need DSDT file for this board.
