fiddles88 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have been doing some research and I am really digging the ASUS P6X58D-E. I read the "My Holy Hackintosh Build!" by smeared where he used a ASUS P6X58D Premium and it seems was able to get OSx running. I am wondering if anyone has the -E version working they are very similar with small differences. The most noticeable is a different sata controller which could cause problems, but Im not sure. If anyone has any experience with this board let me know, I am days away from ordering this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has any experience with this board let me know, I am days away from ordering this setup. I would be interested in knowing how your build went. I'm into mine a little bit with the same motherboard and processor. ASUS p6x58D-E 2 WD Caviar Black HDS that are SATA 6 compatible, but I run on the SATA 3 NVIDIA GT 240 (But I'm thinking about returning for the 9800 GT) OCZ Vertex 2 6 Gb OCZ DDR 3 Ram 1066mhz Corsair 750 PSU I used the myhack installer with graphics disabled setting and then used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to use nvidia injector. My post installation is a little sloppy so I couldn't tell you my way is the best. I've been reading through this thread, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=199818 but haven't tried messing with this dsdt yet. So far everything runs ok, but I'm pretty sure my performance is at a suck level compared to how it could be with a good dsdt and the right KEXT's. Still haven't gotten audio working yet.

Slandau Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 mine worked fine, followed this instructions lan not working but i use a different card anyway that seems to work on more systems http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=222761 I'm having trouble getting my build to even get to the Mac OS X installer window. My build is: ASUS P6X58D-E 1x Nvidia Fermi 470 12GB ram (unplugged to 4 to no avail) Intel Core i7 980x I've followed all kinds of walk-throughs and can still not get my installer to launch, even with various bootloaders and boot methods. I've tried all kinds of combinations of the flags listed in the above link. I'm very new to this scene, so any advice anyone can give would be genuinely appreciated. Thanks!

maflynn Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm also a newbie but one thing that sticks out to me is your GPU. I'm not sure if the 470 GPU is compatible with OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
