[Success] Gigabyte Z77-DS3H, i7 3770K (@4.4GHz), NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 100% working

I just completed upgrading my build to Mavericks and it is working 100%.

Specs are:
- Gigabyte Z77-DS3H
- i7 3770K over-clocked to 4.4GHz
- 16GB Crucial Balistix RAM
- NVIDIA QUADRO 4000
- Firewire 800+400 card
- Samsung 830 256GB SSD (OS X and Windows 7)
- Western Digital Green 1TB HDD (data)
- PowerMac G5 case modified with ATX motherboard tray, fully functional front panel board
- Fractal Design Newton 600W PSU

The system has been running pretty smoothly under Mountain Lion although sleep did not function. I decided to do a clean install when upgrading to Mavericks to try and resolve the sleep problems. Upgrade was simple - created a Mavericks install disk using Unibeast and performed an erase and install on my OS X partition of the SSD.

Post installation I used MultiBeast with the following settings:
- DSDT free installation
- Realtek ALCxxx - without DSDT - ALC887/888b Current v100302 - Optional 3 Port Audio Enabler
- Atheros - Shailua's ALXEthernet v1.0.2
- Chimera v2.2.1
- GraphicsEnabler=Yes

Everything seems to be working 100%.

-edit-
Have been playing about with the BIOS settings and the over clock and it is now running stable at 4.4GHz. With that and some tweaks on memory timing, GeekBench is now coming in at 16675 multi-core and 4047 single-core.

Hi!

I have a similar setup with an i7 3770k and Quadro 4000, but I cannot get the Quadro to display on 2 monitors. Do you have dual monitors, if so how did you get it to work?

Thanks in advance!

Do you know that protools works with Mavericks?
