thelostswede If I'm on F8 for the Z77-DS3H, am i ok ?

I have the GA-Z77-DS3H rev1.1 bios F8. I didn't bother updating it to F9 and I seem to be able to boot ML 10.8.2 from my HDD without need for a separate iBoot.
Anyone care to confirm F8 vs F9 for this board?

Ver 8 is the one that had the important firmware update. Ver 9 only includes updates for CPU microcode. so its up to you really, but why not stay up to date when it doesn't cost you anything....

I got an GA-H77-D3H i am currently on F8 - but there is F11 available.

Anyone got expierences with F11?
My hackintosh works quite well but sometimes i got kernel panics on boot.

I just bought a GA B75M-D3H motherboard from Amazon, got it a few days ago and it shipped with F11, release date in August, 2012.

So far I haven't been able to get OS X up and running. I get all the way to installing multibeast, but end up with boot0 errors and haven't figured out how to get past it yet.

I have pretty much the same system like you. Gigabyte Z77X - UP5 TH, i7 3770, GT 640, 16gm corsair vengeance,
I am also stuck at loading the MultiBeast because I do not know what to chose as far as drivers and etc.

The way I was able to boot was always using the PCIRoot=0 -x GraphicsEnabler=No command. I upgraded my BIOS version to F11 from F4.

There is no DSDT file to use for our boards.

Hopefully someone can help or if I find anything I will let you know.
I subscribed to your post because I need to follow up with this. I am new to this as well

this is what I found and it seams that is working. The audio is not working yet.
I also installed the graphic card and switched from internal to the GT 640 and also the full pack of memory 32GB and no problem

If this is true, then I know why I have fruitlessly spent maybe 20-30 hours trying to get OSX Mountain Lion to boot from the hard drive. I found a "how to use Multibeast 5." webpage followed that--result: a crash. I have checked and double checked my Multibeast 5.2.0 settings, read the descriptions and almost understand the options in the Multibeast selections. I may still be stupid, but that isn't necessarily why my OSX won't boot from the HD.

I think it really is my motherboard, even though I just bought it two weeks ago. Since I've been a Windows user for the past 10-15 years, I'll just put Windows 8 on this pc, & update my UEFI using the Windows platform. Then I can add another hard drive for OSX, etc.

Thanks.
