I haven't had any luck with sleep on this board, either. Unfortunately, SleepEnabler for 10.6.4 does not work. On the bright side, at least sleep doesn't nuke the CMOS - a restart/poweroff will do a normal reboot. I suspect it may have something to do with that weird "4MB" RAM in the memory pane:

I wonder if this is the BIOS or something. I've seen this show up on other MSI boards. It shows up as 4MB DDR2-800.

You can't its not a point update its essentially a new OS. You must start fresh.

Yeah best to start with fresh to avoid any problems.

Nice work man! Glad to see a Snow guide up for this board...mine are still on 10.5.4/10.5.6 haha.

Made a little app that disables Software Update, so you never "accidentally" download updates & break your hackintosh. You can download it here. Includes a script that reverts it back if you want to update iLife or whatever.

Any update on this?

Just confirming that the 980x is NOT OOB compatible. Ruined my OSx86...

You could try checking the PC Health in the BIOS - it will tell you the actual temperature of the chip.

After the update to 10.6.3 my CPU (Q6600) temperature dropped down a lot (I don't know why...) Now it's on 38° with (big...) air cooler at 3.0 Ghtz.
I use some heavy rendering applicatons and with the CPU at work the temperature could even reach 72, now it goes only at 55.

I don't really know if it's for real or something is wrong with the sensor...

Do you know if someone is working on a modified Bios for this motherboard ?

All I've got right now is the old guides, haven't had time to update them. My wiki is down for the time being until I have some more free time (current schedule 6am - 8pm work/school). No ETA currently, but there are some good guides floating around. Stella & Lifehacker did some excellent work on updates not too long ago.

Horror!

My steadfast 10.5.8 system built using the Leopard Soup recipe needs to be rebuilt. I have Snow Leopard on my portable machine & would love to put it on my main box.

Still running on an EP35-DS3L. No EP45 at the moment.

Weaksauce12 - Is your new guide for this board usable? I've been down the install path many times, so am willing to take a semi-complete guide. Of course, I would understand if you're now in retirement, so no obligation and many thanks for your previous work.

Anyone else with this mobo... which install procedures would you recommend? I find a few posts, but most are EP45 focused and it's hard to identify the better-working instructions for an EP35.

Thanks folks!
