Sorry for the dumb question..

if im using i5 2500K should i set to 10.7.4 or 10.7.4 ivy bridge?
as my processor is sandy bridge, i believe i should set it 10 10.7.4

thank you,

Exactly. 10.7.4 only.

Amazing build, might up this board myself

Do you know if your USB3 ports work. Doesn't matter if they run at 2.0 speeds just want to verify that they work.

Thanks.

Oh and also front panel USB.

Thanks again.

 

[zenbr]

Thanks!

Yes, they work! At least at 2.0. I don't have any USB 3.0 device!

Hi ZenBR. First congratulations for your great job.

I'm noob on hackintosh but learning so much last days.

I wanted to buy a mac mini to complement with my Imac 27, but the 256 MB dedicated graphic are a problem to play games like GTA 4.
Im thinking to made an Ivy Bridge Hackintosh gamer. I know that i must waiting for Mountain Lion Release to know if new motherboards and cpus wild be compatible or no.

My goal:

Silent HTPC for movies, Browser, Console Game + iCloud and AppStore + iWork

I like your configuration. Very interesting. I need too and ivy bridge configuration (mobo and cpu) and a dedicated graphic card.

My idea:

Case: Silverstone FT03 OK
Mobo: P8Z77-M Pro OK
CPU: Core I5 3750K or Core I5 2500K. ¿? (No need overclocking for me)
Ram: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance low profile DDR3 1600 8GB or Kingston ¿?
GPU: Nvidia GTX550 Ti or Radeon (HD 7750 or 7770) ¿?
HD: Dualboot 1x120 GB SSD (mountain lion) 1x60 GB SSD (windows 7) 1x2TB 3,5" Caviar Green

Will be connected by ethernet all time and HDMI (dedicated graphic card).

A few questions:
- Can Update to Mountain Lion and 10.8.x versions ¿It's possible?
- Can Play GTA 4 smoothly
- Can Use it as mediacenter for movies with Image/Audio by HDMI with dedicated or integrated graphic card ¿It's possible?
- Use Logitech Dinovo Mini as Keyboard with official Bluetooth stick ¿It's possible?
- Dual boot Mountain Lion (For Principal SO) and windows 7 (For Games) ¿It's possible?

Thanks. Any help will be appreciated.
Again Congratulations.
