Have you tried setting your graphics memory to 32MB in the BIOS, that might activate the HD3000 in OSX. I don't know if there is an advantage with iMac 12.2 SMBIOS or not hehe. Looks better than a 2008 MacPro I guess.

Nop didn't try to set it to 32MB, but i gonna put a HD5870, so changing BIOS settings maybe not worth it :)

Thx for explanations about SMBIOS version ;)

No problem sir, I did some updates too BTW :)
 
With the GA-Z77-DS3H mobo and two graphics cards in each PCIe x16 slots, how many SATA ports are accessible? From the pictures, it looks as if a graphics card that are long will cover up some of the SATA ports.

but my overclock to 4.4 ghz daes not appear in the "about this mac menù"

Sorry to bother you but I was hopping you could help me. I installed osx mt lion and multibeast onto my build. When I restarted it I get boot0: error and it won't boot up. I have the same motherboard as you. What do I do? Thanks for you time
 
You have a newer HDD with 4K sectors. While, most of the newer SATA HDDs don't have jumpers, see if the HDD has a jumper to set either one. But, be careful! You should backup your drive before using the jumper. You may have to reformat the drive. I say this as a caution as it's been a long time since I've done this and (I'm old) I can remember if I have to format after changing the sector size. :thumbup:

You can also use MacMan's Guide: boot0 Error: The Official Thread

BTW, the HDDs in tonymacx86's latest Buyers Guide have hard drives that don't use the 4K sectors so they work OOB>

Im not sure if I can fix your problems, can you post your settings from your chameleon plist and list what other things you did to get your audio fixed. Thanks
 
I ve got everything woking now,

To fix the sound (also ethernet) i ve done i ve select ALC887 - ALC888b
and install chimera
And its start working.. (u can also see my 1st post)

i solved my graphic card with adding the native resolution to my com.boot.apple.plist (which found on extra folder)

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32@60</string>


Also probably u ve been already watched but here is a guide video from begining to end with same spec pc

Hi,

I have exactly the same build but for an Nvidia GeForce GT640 2GB GPU Card.

But my Geekbench score in Intel 64-Bit mode is miles off yours :(

Geekbench Score is 9716
Integer is 8591
Floating Point is 12979
Memory is 6817
Stream is 8040

Any tips on the BIOS set-up would greatly help :)

KR,
Phil
