B.Schappel Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 How did you get the GA-EP45T-USB3P to work 100%? I can't find a good DSDT and can't get audio or ethernet to work. Any links you could post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5hadowhawk Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I am new here and just built my first mac based pc system. Unfortunately I am also having these audio and ethernet issues with the EP45t-USB3P mobo and would love some help/support or for anyone to point me in the right direction, or post some links. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odimac Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I too have a gigabyte GA-EP45T-USB3 with about 95% working. Would love for it to be 100%!! Any links to some guides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick vezmar Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Actually it would be nice to even know if there is a working method for installing SL on this board. I cannot for the life of me seem to find a suitable method to install it. My install either hangs at the dark grey loading screen (which eventually leads to a shut down), or it won't install on the hard disk at all. Anyone care to share a successful install method for the EP45T-USB3P? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnaClocker Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Under $800? Shoot, I could do it for under $700!... Better graphics and has DVD too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doraemon Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 How about sound on the GA-EP45T-USB3P? I've tried a bunch of kexts for acl889 (not A) and so far nothing seems to work... Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinlayers Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 How about sound on the GA-EP45T-USB3P? I've tried a bunch of kexts for acl889 (not A) and so far nothing seems to work... Help? I finally got sound working on the GA-EP45T-USB3P! Rather than double posting, I'll just link to the instructions: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1589560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 No such thing as a 100% build, anyone claiming so either doesn't know what they're talking about or is outright lying. Topics like these create false expectations (noobs read "100%" & think it means that the hardware will "just work") and go out of date really fast, so please don't make them.

Hangten Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sounds like an ad or some kinda get me brownie points for ewegg.com Why not just get a Mac Mini? Its not as powerful but either are the posted builds. Figure you need all the goods, like Apple peripherals and decent monitor. Meh, Apple to Apples is best and Apple to Orange good enough for some. But can it play "Crysis" at full res? Black Ops perhaps on low settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackMacAttack Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Let me CLAIRFY... This Topic was intened to simply help people pick hardware. All tree of these system I have help people install osx on and the Install was very easy. Getting Hardware to work required little to no work on all of them. And I said 100% working as in everything works, NOT OOTB, OR WITH ALL APPLE KEXTS. But EVERYTHING WORKS! Also I have built a better Desktop System, Check my Sig.

joako Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Under $800? Shoot, I could do it for under $700!... Better graphics and has DVD too.. I just did one for $230, $209 if you count the rebate on the video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
