tworats Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm about to head out to Fry's to buy the E8400 + GA-EP43-UD3P combo ($273). The processor seems good, the motherboard is a Gigabyte and seems like it'll work (although I haven't found a post with the exact combination), and I'm raring to build my hackintosh. Any reason not to get this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148760-buying-the-e8400-ga-ep43-ud3p-stop-me-now-if-its-a-mistake/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaap Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Is that the EP43 or EP45? I know the GA-EP45-UD3P works great for Hackintosh. No idea about the EP43.

Turns out "EP43" was a misprint in the ad, it's a EP45. Bought it this morning, spent the day dismantling old rigs and finally putting the motherboard together, now realizing I didn't get a video card!

mrskitch Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah, that sucks about the video card. BUT that board is awesome for OS X. See this guide: http://auzigog.com/2008/12/23/hackintosh-20/ and this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=141769 Even thought the second is the UD3R, the boards are very similar.
