[SUCCESS] Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5-TH, i7 3770K, 32GB, 480GB SSD, 2TB HDD, GTX 670

[sublightnova]

I've been absent for quiet a while here but lately my interest in the good ol' hackintosh has been revived a bit hearing about upcoming OS release and the last updates.

So after my more or less failed attempts in January on my GA-Z77X-UD5H and my great success on my Asus G73JH laptop I decided to give it a new shot on the Z77X.

I created a new unibeast Pen drive with the latest slipstreamed ML download from the appstore.

All in all it took me maybe 30 minutes to get ML running without a hitch this time.. ! Wow, nice. I take it the guys at apple AND ofc the guys here at Tonymac have indeed ironed out a few of the problems I was having before.

I cannot for the life of me to get 5.1 sound through my logitch Z-5500 speakers (only stereo) but that is a minor issue atm. The change in the bios to init PCI/disable onboard graphics btw decreased my booting time from about 3 minutes to...err.. hard to even count.. a whopping 3 seconds? That is just amazing!!! I hardly have time to look at the apple logo after selecting from the boot menu. It is that fast... Obviously my system is pretty darn nice with 2x840 pro's, i7-3770K etc....

I do not notice any sleep issues but more testing there is needed.

I do not use BT atm nor have I tested if it works. All my USB external drives seem to function fine although not much testing there either.

So I'm very happy that in such short time I now have 2 nicely working Mac OSX systems!!

I want to control my Volume using my Apple wireless keyboard f11, f12 and I also want to utilize my GTX 760 as 1st boot option (PCIe). I want to know if this is possible or I have to go with my HD4600 and set IGFX as 1st boot to activate Audio through my motherboard and therefore controlling with my Apple wireless keyboard. I am currently using HDMI with my GTX 760. Appreciate any feedback on this issue.

My GA-Z77X-UP5TH install of El Capitan 10.11.4 with Clover (Multibeast method) seems stable:

To stop Photoshop CC from crashing:
Un-tick OpenCL render. In PS, go to Preferences/Performance. Click "Advanced" on the right. Un-select OpenCL.


To solve Long Sleep crash, paste this into Terminal to disable standby:
sudo pmset -a standby 0 && sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0?

Hi dawsman:
I see you added a 980 ti to your configuration.
I just bought one but can't manage to make it work.
Installed NVIDIA web drivers but all I get is slow GPU with glitches, seems like the drivers aren't working.
I'm thinking about returning it...
