Zaap Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Wow, that board looks sweet. P45, 4 RAM slots and 3 PCIe slots on a mATX board? Sign me up. If it's Hack compatible and reasonably priced, I'd get one in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Installation unsuccessful. Using iATKOS 4i (10.5.4). Need to set SATA to Legacy. During installation the installation bar hangs at 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazevedo317 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 have you thought about doing the BIOS mods. idk what you had to do but there was a thread on here about doing a bios mod because of the P45 chipset. that motherboard looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soppo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have one of these running right now... ;-) q6600 2.4 @ 2.90 currently 4gb RAM Radeon 2600xt ( as it seems to just work as thats what apple use in iMac's :-) ) 2 x 1TB Seagate's Can't get my IDE DVD drive recognised as it must be a different j-micron. installed fine tho as an IDE and not AHCI for the Jmicron controller. Going to get a SATA DVD and stick it in soon. I used the iAtkos 10.5.4 installation DVD and it worked flawlessly after i set the onboard SATA to AHCI and for some reason (at least with the two 1tb Seagates i have connected to it) had to use GUID disks. Not much hardship tho. Audio kinda works at the minute with the Taruga HDA enabler - only works when i select inbuilt speakers, but it works fine enough for me with some little logitech desk speakers.

Zaap Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 If you got it working, how about adding it to the HCL wiki? You know, that thing people used to update before everyone just got collectively bored with it. Apparently, it's much more productive having to just guess, and suffer 10,000,000 "will this work!??!" threads. Oh yes, and to {censored} about the wiki not being useful. (By the way, not a rant directed at anyone in particular, just a rant in general!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarola Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'd like to help out others with this motherboard. If you have this motherboard and want to get it running 100%, send me a PM. Thanks, -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, -Stell I am on the cusp of buying it. The question is how does ethernet work, as well as audio. Does ACHI work including swapping *can I eject disk*. I also need front panel Mic and Headphones, this is REALLY key. Do these things work? Thank you in advanced for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advanced for the help I don't have this mobo, but I own a DFI P35 ATX mobo with very similar specs. Ethernet works oob including bonjour and afp. The audio chipset in the DFI boards is ALC885. This is the exact same chipset found in Mac Pros. So it works 100%. Also I have about every setting turned on, that the motherboard supports and it all works. I have Ahci mode running and Jmicron for the heck of it. These boards are also very solidly made. Here's a little video of my system profiler on my DFI Lanparty DK.... http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/4133/SysProfiler_Boot132.mov I'm using Boot-132 to install and maintain for updates. -Stell P.S. - The optical drive does allow to be ejected with Apple Keyboard or on the actual optical drive button.

On your mobo does front panal Mic and Headphones work? Does Optical output? These are important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarola Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 On your mobo does front panal Mic and Headphones work? Does Optical output? These are important Not sure about front panel stuff. I have my DFI in a Apple G5 case. Optical output does work. I still suggest using a usb audio solution as you'll get better quality sound and more/powered input/output. -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
