CustoMac Eco - Thin Mini-ITX Tester: GA-B75TN

Been using this rig for a few months now as a HTPC- streaming video, and testing temperatures. It's been running strong, however it does require extra kext patching for Power Management to work properly. Therefore I can't really recommend this board over standard Gigabyte boards. Unfortunately they do not have the standard Gigabyte UEFI. This combined with the low availability of external power supplies in the common market makes them a more specialized piece of equipment. But enjoy the pics-

Hey there,

Sorry if I take this thread back from the dead, but I've build a system based on the same motherboard but can't get any sound.
Everything indicates that it should be working but there is in fact no sound coming from the rear port.
In Multibeast I've used Realtek ALCxxx > With DSDT > ALC887/888b Current v100302. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks.

Status report:

Updated this rig to Mavericks 10.9.1 with no issues, since I'm using HDMI audio and the Intel Graphics have been updated, I had to reissue the patch in order to re-enable HDMI audio.

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x05\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\x00\x07\x01\x00\x00|\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x05\x00\x00\x00\x08\x00\x00\x06\x00\x00\x00|g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext/Contents//MacOS/AppleIntelFramebufferCapri

So 1 extra step. Did not have to reinstall the patched AppleCPUPM kext.

Hey there,
first I want to apologize for my bad English.

I also have the Gigabyte board b75tn and stuck at the installation.
I use an Intel 3570K processor with the HD4000 graphics.
I tried to install Mac os 10.5 but every time I stuck at the point still waiting for root device.
Could you tell me please what are your bios settings and with wich method you installed Mac os?

I hope for an answer and thank you in advance
