MSI 9 Series Motherboards - OS X Setup and Configuration

[vincent.dimicco]

Sound works with Multibeast and use the ALC1150 (as well as optional 3 Port (5.1 Audio))

Wifi I used a Dlink DWA-160 and for BT an IO Gear BT 4.0 USB connector

The dlink you need to load a 3rd party KEXT to get it running. The included drivers WILL NOT Work

Hello, can you help me?
I have the same exact configuration as you (except CPU which is a I5 4690K)
But for me sound don't work i tried with ALC1150(both with and without selecting optional 3 port 5.1 audio). I use graphic card HDMI out with my TV.
As you also i cannot get to work WIFI and Bluetooth (which for our MSI Z97I Gaming AC is different from the Z97 Gaming reported in first post).
Thanks

Anyone had any luck getting HDMI audio to work? Have the line out connected which is ok (Except for after waking from sleep) but would obviously be more convenient to use just the one cable.

Otherwise seem to have the Gaming 5 working well. Had to update the bios to 1.7 and then make sure CFG lock and VT-d were disabled. Needed to use -x and maxmem=8192 until had multibeasted the thing.

This has been very helpful. Im a nubie. Is there a resource for MSI 8 Series Motherboards with Haswell chipset & updated Bios? It seems that everything points to two issues (which might be the same issues):
1. PM

2. Locked MSR

Thank you.

Hey so I have the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 board. I also have GTX strix 960. I did multi beast and some things from this TUT were not in there like Intel 9 board stuff and then I installed nvidia Web drivers and Cuda. Now I get a kernel panic. I can't figure out why. It may be becuase I didn't put nvda_drv=1 in org.chameleon.Boot.plist but I have to head to bed to get up for work. So just wondering on a fresh set of eyes on this.

I fixed this issue but now trying to do clover

That's really odd...I'm using the same board as you and the install was easy. The only boot flags I think I used were -v -x maxmem=4096 . Are you doing the install with the HD4600? If not you may want to try that before you add in your graphics card.

Are you using Clover or Unibeast/Multibeast?

FYI - Using the new 1.8 BIOS.

I have the z97 Gaming 5 as well and can't for the life of me reach the installer. I've gotten as far as being stuck on the apple logo screen with no loading wheel. When I use verbose mode it throws up lines of code then the screen goes black so I can't see where it stops (or if it even did). I'm using Unibeast with Mountain Lion. Do you have any suggestions? I'm also using integrated graphics HD4600. i5 4690k. Any help would be appreciated
