Please Help! GA-Z87X-UD3H

[Adrian B]

It's all good, I'm going to post a build video as well as the set up to help out the others with this board and set up. Thanks for all the help. Any idea how to fix the green audio poping I'm currently using the black one cuz it doesn't do that but would like to get everything working. Also the issues with iMessage and etc

I wasn't aware of there being an analogue audio problem with this board, check out some of the other builds to see:

For iMessage, this has been a real issue for many, but the main problem seems to be that Apple use two levels of Apple ID. Again its not a one answer solution that works for everyone - its going to be trial and error in finding out what works for you:

You should just power down - remove mains cord and fit GPU into the first full size PCIe slot that is closest to the CPU. Remember to connect any additional power cables from the CPU that it might need. You should now be able to power up using your connected monitors. There is a display Perferences in the System Preferences if you need to change screen priority etc.

What is the connection on your monitor? I suggest that you try a cable without adaptors. OS X works best using DVI-D, HDMI/DisplayPort or Thunderbolt connection. VGA (15 pin D-Sub does not work well for many and certain GPU cards can not handle the analogue signal.

If you have a flat panel TV with HDMI connections then try that to see if your card appears to be working correctly.
