Hi there! At last I decide to share my configuration that it's running great

UEFI Settings
1. To access UEFI Setup, press and hold Delete on a USB Keyboard while the system is booting up

​

Triple boot --> OS X 10.10.1 - Windows 8.1 Enterprise - Linux Ubuntu 14.10

​

Settings
Post installation is easy, as this board doesn't require a DSDT. Use the following MultiBeast settings, and reboot following a successful installation.

​

Benchmarks
General system benchmarks fromGeekbench 3

no one have a similar config?

 

[ricky84]

I've done the upgrade to 10.9.3 just apply trim patch and audio alc 889 everything is working fine

 

[ricky84]

i successfully upgraded the ram stick form 1600 mhz to corsair 2133 mhz

Hi, i have a similar hardware configuration, but i have a Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6870 OC Edition, and a 8GB Corsair Blue Vengeance 1600 MHz, I've installed UEFI bios on my GA-Z68XP-UD3 and I've installed Mac OS X 10.9.3 in UEFI mode with CLOVER guide, system works correctly but the i7 2600k uses only 2 frequencies, the maximum frequency and the minimum frequency. How can I enable all the frequencies of the processor and make it work at 100%? Thanks in advance.

PS Sorry for my bad English.

What is your System Definition?

To get multiple frequencies, you'll need to create an SSDT. I recommend two threads for your review:

Toleda's http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...vericks-native-cpu-igpu-power-management.html

PikeRAlpha's SSDT generator application: http://www.tonymacx86.com/ssdt/86906-ssdt-generation-script-ivybridge-pm.html

 

[unscarred18]

Ok I will take a look to the threads, thank you very much!!

 

[ricky84]

I've done mine via UniBeast + Chimera as boot loader and all is working great, I've not experience with Clover... but everything is working like a charm without edit any DSDT...



PS. I've successfully upgraded to 10.9.4, you can see it in the screenshot at the first post!

Also the last Yosemite it's working great! the pics in the first post!

I have the same motherboard/ram/cpu setup as you, but I can't get Yosemite sound to work. When I do a clean install, on the first boot everything runs except sound. When I install the ALC889 and HDAEnabler from multibeast, I freeze at boot after that.
