I think you have 8 ram sticks and only 4 slots on your motherboard and quad channel ram doesn't match board support of dual channel ram.

You need Dual Channel Ram like:

The one you have listed will do just fine, although you will need a modified BIOS to unlock the MSR so that OS X can write to it for native power management, or, alternatively, use the speedstepper kext or NullCPUPM kext to prevent kp on boot.

See viewtopic.php?f=14&t=54196&hilit=msi%2C+asrock+bios+mod for patched BIOS.

If you do not want to bother with that, you could get a Gigabyte board. I have read that the http://www.amazon.fr/Gigabyte-Z77-DS3H- ... 234&sr=8-1 board works with native UEFI and needs no DSDT or other patched kext files to work 100%.

I think you have selected a dead end board socket/processor which is not supported by OS X and might have trouble with updates. See other threads for socket 2011 Sandy bridge installations.

The D3H board has VIA audio codec. You need the GA-Z77-DS3H board with Realtek.

Ok, thanks. I made a mistake with the reference.

What do you think I need : GA-Z77X-UD5H or GA-Z77-DS3H ? What is the best ?
