[success] [guide] i3 2120, GA-H61M-USB3V, Yosemite

[Thomski]

This is my second build, somewhat more of a budget build.

Specs;

• CPU: i3 2120 (Sandy)
• MB: Gigabyte H61M-USB3V (Sandy) (M-ATX)
• Ram: None-descript 4GB 1333Mhz DDR3
• HDD: WD 250GB
• CPU Cooler: Stock Intel Cooler
• Case: CiT Barricade (M-ATX)
• GPU: Asus GeForce GT 610 2GB DDR3
• PSU: CiT 430W Gold ATX*
• WiFi: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

*Don't buy this PSU in combination with any case that mounts the PSU at the bottom of the case as the cable reach is very poor. (I learnt the hard way).

Standard tonymacx86 install, unibeast all the way.

No boot flags required, I merely disabled the integrated graphics through the bios.
The install took 10 minutes from booting through to restarting onto the hard drive.

Unibeast;
Always use the latest Unibeast release downloaded only from here.


Install DSDT-Free

Audio: ALC887/888b Current v100302
Misc: NullCPUPowerManagement, USB 3.0 - Universal
Network: RealtekRTL81xx v.0.0.90

From there, the rest is already selected for you, you can select 1080p Display Mode, or choose a theme for Chimera, but otherwise you're done.

Everything in working order, apart from iMessage which is pretty standard.

peace out

Can you help me with the bios setup for this motherboard? I need to know what to edit for that motherboard, having a few issues with that

I'm not sure exactly, all I did was reset to default at the very beginning, it was as easy as installing OSX on actual mac... Your CPU might be the cause of the issues? As the motherboard is sandybridge, and the CPU is ivy bridge (i think), the cross generation thing may be the root of your problem
