MSI Z77 MPower

[qhduong]

I'm looking to build a new hackintosh. Anyone used this motherboard before? Does it work fully?

Haven't seen any builds yet. It does have Gigabit Ethernet port (Realtek 8111E), eight-channel audio (Realtek ALC898) so I'm thinking it would be fun to test. Are you the guinea pig? If so they'll be plenty of people watching... (and willing to help)

I'm very tempted to order it off Newegg right now since it does come with 8GB ram that is pretty decent. I'll see if there's anymore feedback before order tomorrow or Tuesday .

How did you go mate?

did you end up getting it? I did, it's one sex board got audio working and I grabbed a wireless card for it so I haven't tested that yet. Be glad to here someone else is using it. So I can gets some pointers on sleep, Bluetooth etc.

Cheers

This board works perfectly fine. The interesting part is the dual BIOS, which you can easily switch if you bricked the other one
Have a look at my guide in the signature, I made a user build with the MSI MPower.

Everything works for me except built-in wifi. I got my bulit-in bluetooth working and got my USB3 backwards compatible.
