[Success] Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H i7-4770K GTX 650 Build

[tinju87]

Hello everyone

My system:
GA-UD5H-Z97
Intel I-7 4970
16 GB RAM
Samsung Evo 840 250GB
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570

Install stick with a 10.9.4 on it...

Intallation process:
BIOS: VT-D and internal GPU deactivated.
Because the GPU is installed I had to use -x -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes to get it installed.

I can only boot with those 3 flags. otherwise it will fail... Blackscreen or Kernel Panic or AGPM unknown platform (because of the GPU I guess....)

Can someone tell me what to do? The GPU Driver is not installed at all =(

Your best bet would be to get a 600/700 series card. Problems as far as I can see date back to OSX 10.6 where the GTX 570 and 580 were not supported. Might as well sell your card and upgrade.

Boot with your UniBeast USB Thumb drive using GraphicsEnabler=Yes

Thx for the help, I made it somehow with your guide (without the GTX 570) http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...ifi-using-hd4600-no-graphics-card-needed.html

Sound is not working at all I need to fix that. After that I will backup the whole system and afterwards I try to add the card... any help would be appreciated Do I need the new Nvidia Web drivers or can I get it running without? (What about Cuda? )

greeting =D

The installation is much easier with MultiBeast for Mavericks 6.5.0. I updated my Guide today, and tested. I still can't wake up from sleep, but that, too, will be fixed soon (I hope).

With respect to your using your GTX 570, you'll need the GraphicsEnabler=Yes with MultiBeast. Then, reboot into the BIOS and change the video from IGFX to PCIe Slot 1. Shut down and put in your 570. Upon booting, I'd boot into the BIOS to see that you've got the BIOS on the screen from the 570. Then, try to boot into Mavericks.

I don't know about CUDA, etc, since I've never used it with my nVidia cards.

Good luck!

Working

Thank you . I run 10.9.4 (and I think I will skip 10.9.5 )

Sleep is working but sound dies after wakeup (got a solution for that but not yet tried). However do you think I will ever be able to get the 5.1 onboard working? It is a Realtek ALC1150 (the Multibeast ALC1150 is NOT working ) I used the VoodooHDA 2.8.4 and the sound is coming from the orange out .

I did a clean install of Yosemite using Unibeast 5.0 and Multicast 7.0. A little early to tell if everything works, but for now deep sleep crashes the system, and it does not recover easily from that. I also do not have Messages (neither FileNVRAM-1.1.2 or FileNVRAM-1.1.3 work and crash the boot process - a known issue I think.) I have sound, but no HDMI sound or a stable HDMI picture from the built in HDMI Port, HDMI Picture OK from the 640, but no sound there either.

Bios setting used were Memory Setting to Profile 1 and VT-d disabled (because I have a non k Haswell.) In Multibeast, I used the DTST Free defaults (but urned off Generate CPU States in Customization) ALC1150 Audio, Trim for 10.10.0 and Intel V3.0.4.1a Ethernet. I did not try the Extreme driver for ethernet.

So it is not completely stable but i do have a usable system. For now I will turn-off sleep and wait for an iMessage fix

Build: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H i5-4690, dual GTX 640 for dual Dell 30" 3007s, 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR3

Hi,

I've seen that you was able to install Mac Os X on a build with GA Z97X-UD5H.
How did you do? Did you add specific DSDT files?
What is your multibeast configuration?

My computer is a:

GA-Z97X-UD5H
INTEL Core i7-4790K - 4 GHz
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
16GB Corsair 1600Mhz DDR3
Corsair RM650
500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATA

After a multibeast modification it stops to boot.

Thanks,

Niccolò
