Comments

This is my first attempt at a hackintosh. I had a pc built for design/gaming approach, and noticed on these boards that some people were trying out Lion installation on very similar hardware with success.

Installation was completed via the UniBeast method [Unibeast was created with an App Store downloaded 10.7.4 installer]. The only thing that I had to do other than the UniBeast tutorial was this. run BridgeHelper targeting my USB drive and,

after the Lion installation is complete boot back into UniBeast and run terminal

type

rm /Volumes/Lion/mach_kernel

type

cp /Volumes/USB/mach_kernel /Volumes/Lion/

quit Terminal

reboot into Lion.

Post INstallation: [MultiBeast]
1.EasyBeast
2.System Utilities.
3.Realtek ALC8xx + ALC8xxHDA + AppleHDA Rollback + Non-DSDT ALC892
4.Trim Enabler
5.NVIDIA 4xx/5xx Support -> 10.7.2 / 10.7.3 Combo OpenCL
6.ElliotForceLegacyRTC
7.FakeSMC + FakeSMC Motherboard + HW
8.NullCPU + USB 3.0
9.10.7.4 Power Management
10. hnak's Intel Ethernet

I didnt run the customization options due to bad GTX570 performance previously, but am now looking into how to improve on a satisfactory performance after a fresh install without the custom settings.
Done

Initial Checks.

mini-hdmi to hdmi video out works but no audio.
Onboard audio works with 892 kext
gpu registers with multibeast 5xx update
ethernet works

UPDATE x3
Installed AppleIntelCPUManagement kext from MultiBeast 4.6.1 - made sure NullCPUPowerManagement was not in S/L/E. Reboot and voila!!!

System now at 100%:
Power Management
Sleep/Wake
iCloud
GPU optimal

Geekbench still at 13096, didnt really change much, but then again i don't have an overclocked processor.

Check out this thread for my work with getting the GTX 570 working properly.

hey mate this is great im getting this motherboard along with the new 3770k ivy bridge and i have a gtx 680 and i wanted to know what did you have to change to your bios settings to get it to work

Re: [Working] ASUS Sabertooth Z77 + i7-3770

Bios untouched. Just made sure drives were in AHCI mode. Also be careful with that 600 Series card, everyone told me not to get it when I was about to. No support here yet for those i believe.

Re: [Working] ASUS Sabertooth Z77 + i7-3770

and how did you install snow leopard with the ivy bridge without any crashes?

I did not install Snow Leopard. I did the installation with a UniBeast USB Drive with 10.7.4 downloaded from the Mac App Store. And then ran Bridge Helper to patch the USB drive
