Official CustoMac Mini 2011 Guide and Notes (in progress)

[mikerf12]

So I completed my build the other night and got everything working with the exception of: my usb external hard drive disconnects every time the comp sleeps.

One question though; i used the settings for multibeast at the end of the unibeat guide. I just saw that the recommended settings for this build differ slightly from what I used; ie: I used the file for a mac pro, I used the lnx2mac drivers and any other differences between the unibeat guide and the screenshot of the multibest settings for this build.

Is there any harm in re-running multibeast to get the correct settings in?
Is there any advantage to doing it?
I have the V4 tune up kit installed as well, if I were to redo the multibeast settings, would I need to reinstall the v4 tuneup?

Depends what you did the first time, however, the risk is low.
Don't select any MultiBeast Audio and the Tuneup Kit will survive.

My Build is:

Intel Core i5 2500k + Gigabyte H67N-USB3-B3 + 8 GB RAM + Intel HD3000 + Tonymac DSDT + TuneKit v4. + Samsung 22" 1680 x 1050 LCD.

Everything is working fine (even HDMI audio). But i have a little problem: some horizontal lines sporadically in my screen.

I change the clock of the HD3000 in the BIOS to a low value, but i don't have success with this.

Anyone has a solution for this?

Sorry about my english. Im learning.

it's one of the issues with HD3000. They are not always there. Try restarting. Rumor is, the new drivers that will come with 10.7.3 will fix the graphics issues.

I believe we need to wait at this time for future development. Its relatively low cost build that can handle most tasks with ease

sorry if I sound noob.. but how do i enter 2 type of boot commands?
when i finish typing PCIRootUID=1 and press Enter then it should start to load.
so how do I key in the ncpi=0x2000?

thanks.

Easy. You just type all these commands in a row with a space in-between them and hit enter.

For example, you could type GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x2000 AtiConfig=Duckweed AtiPorts=3 and then you would hit Enter.

Good Luck.
