Hi ricky84

How did you manage to let the About Info show the correct clock speed for your ram?

Never mind lol figured it out - just had to edit my smbios

 

[ricky84]

well i haven't done anything they are recognized oob the Ram clock speed, plug and play

Thats strange, then I should be doing something wrong then cause mine shows 1333mhz but its 2400mhz

 

[ricky84]

maybe it depends about the brand of your ram, i've used them also in another build with a z68xp ud3 and they're working oob at 2133 mhz

Thanks so much for this! I got this build working perfectly (same MOBO & Processor). Did you ever get iMessage working on this build? Im having some problems with that

Thanks again for this!

Hey Ricky,

2 questions.

Are you able to get Sleep to work correctly with this Mobo?
I've noticed some people with other Mobo's have sleep working perfectly.
I just hate my system up and humming all the time. I'd rather it sleep then have to shutdown.

Also in Clover Configurator, under SYMBIOS, I thought I'd try changing my current parameter of iMac14,2 to iMac15,1 since it uses the same CPU(i7-4790k). But after I changed this, upon reboot, my graphics got disabled. Not just a black screen, but "No Signal" detected by my monitor. Any ideas?

Let me know.
Matt

Ignore question 2 in my post.
I got it to work.
Now running stable as iMac15,1

If anyone is interested, download and run the script in this thread:

Hi, I wish to build my first hackintosh with the exact same built. Can someone please direct me to a right tutorial for setting up hardware and installation of Yosemite/ El Capitan?

This is the first time I'm hacking a system and I have to do it because the vendors that provide custom made hacks here in India are charging a bomb for the same parts.


Thanks
