Install Guide Gigabyte x58A-UD7 Revision 2.0 NVIDIA GTX 470

 

System:

Gigabyte X58A-UD7 Revision 2.0

Bios FB

Core i7 950 @ 4.1 GHz

24 GB DDR 3 1600 @ 1424 MHz

Geforce GTX 470

OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB SSD as System Drive

 

Needed Software:

Snow Leopard Retail 10.6

Chameleon RC 5 Beta (I used version 619)

Kext Utility

KextHelper or similiar

fermipackage

MacOS 10.6.4 Combo Update

My Extra folder with plists & kexts

 

 

Install Chameleon to a USB Thumbdrive and put all kexts except the Realtek one in Extra/Extensions

Boot your system from the USB stick choose the Snow Leopard Install DVD and press enter

 

After the installation boot from your USB Stick again and enjoy the laggy welcome video.

Run the combo update to 10.6.4

Install Chameleon to your System drive / your Boot partition

Put the Extra folder on your System drive / your Boot partition

Start [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and select HDAEnabler & the 10.6.4 rollback

Use KextHelper to install RealtekR1000.kext

 

Instead of using NullCPUPowerManagement & IOAHCIStorageInjector you can put the DSDT.aml for this Mainboard from http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt.php in the Extra folder.

This will cost you a small amount of OpenGL performance though: Cinebench 28fps instead of 33.

I did not see any benefits from using a DSDT so i sticked with the kexts.

 

Open the fermi package and use Kexthelper to install all the kexts.

Go to System/Library/Frameworks and delete the Open CL & the OpenGL folders. Replace them with the folders from the fermi package.

Ignore the boot loader folder!

Run Kext Utility & Reboot

 

You should be fine from here :P

Hope it helps one or the other, enjoy!
