caenis Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ok guys, for you out there that have an ASUS P6T7 motherboard, I got it running 10.5.7 off of the boot 132 on two separate occasions. (The reason is I am stilling restalling for testing purposes). I would like to know if anyone out there has the same mobo to help test with me. Also, many problems I had I finally narrowed it down to certain things. First off, I could only boot off the 10.5.0 retail disc (no 10.5.4 or 10.5.6) and I could not update everything with the 10.5.7 combo update, I had to update with the 10.5.6 combo and then 10.5.7. Also, the Gforce kexts crash on 10.5.0 (so you need to boot -x uptil 10.5.6). Lastly, I seem to have problems with chameleon 2R2 and have since then downgraded to 2R1. But it works pretty good with 12GB and all cores on the i7. In fact, I even had my memory running at 1800 (this install it seems to kp though ) My average geekbench was around 9500 so i think most things are working ok. chipset - Intel X58 + ICH10R memory - 12GB ddr3 HDD - 3 SATA drives - 2 SATA storage - Marvell 88SE6121 Marvell 88SE6320 lan - 2 x Realtek 8111C sound - ADI 2000B firewire - VIA VT6315N Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/173819-asus-p6t7-running-1057/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

caenis Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Here are some pics, you can see my geekbench score, the operating system as well as time machine backing up and how i can change the background pic of each monitor. FYI, I am running 2 3870s Xfired (obviously not in mac) and they are both connected DVI from the first vid card. First pic is a (bad) image of my setup Left screen Right screen Again, I dont know how many have this motherboard, but maybe we could iron out a good guide and have a pretty good running hackintosh!

I can get that i can send you the files with instructions so we avoid you getting installations problems. hey there im new to this forum but i have been doing a lot of reading not only here but all over on Hackintosh and such!!! i have a pc that i built recently this summers heres the config...if you want more details let me know. Intel x58 Asus P6t i7 920 6gb DDR3 HDD 3 sata ODD 2 1ide/1sata ATI Raidon 4800 HD I have yet to find a decent guide to use for a leopard install. I already have the bios settings all fixed and my partion is setup for the leopard install. i have been trying other install options like the iatkos and iDeneb but havent been succesful with either (the biggest problem is getting a decent downloaded copy from torrents). I read before that you said a Leopard retail disk with 10.5.6 wont work? i would be willing to help get my machine running and help you both put together a guide for others running the Asus P6t and i7 combo. If you have any help or are interested in me helping with your quest let me know ASAP!
