Have you searched this board to see if there are others using that same board and what problems they have encountered? I just looked at the wiki.osx86project.org database and could not find anyone saying they had used this board which means you are pretty much out on a limb. If you can create and edit your own DSDT file for this board you might have a shot. A lot of it depends on your experience building a hackintosh. But once you have it installed, you might have network, bluetooth, audio and other problems that need special attention. Without a working DSDT file, it's a HUGE uphill battle. See this thread for more info on DSDT. Also take a look at the motherboards he has working too.

[*]GIGABYTE GA-H61M-D2P-B3 LGA 1155 The total is $489.94, Pretty good right? Kakewalk was a very good install process for me and I suggest it if possible. Looking at the Kakewalk site, the compatible hardware as of now is listed as: There are packages built for the following motherboards. Note: The installation might work if you’ve got a similar motherboard. Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR Gigabyte EP45-UD3R Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Gigabyte EX58-UD4P Gigabyte X58A-UD7 Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Gigabyte EP45-UD3L Gigabyte EP45-DS3L Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Gigabyte P55M-UD2 Gigabyte P55-USB3 MSI P55M-GD45 I have a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L, which is very similar to the EP45-DS3L. For me, it works fine. If you haven't bought the hardware yet, consider the hardware in the Kakewalk list. the install process was very easy, and my system is working beautifully now. To be honest, I have the MB as above, but I also have 3 drives ... I have 2 swappable bays for regular SATA internal drives. I have in those bays a 500gb Apple HD drive, and a 1.5tb Timemachine drive. this way, I can remove the boot drive or the backup drive easily and swap in replacement drives. I have a 1gb Data drive built-in to the case. This configuration works very well for me and I suggest it to anyone who will listen. Rest of my system is pretty stock. 8gb RAM, nVidia graphics card, (2)x 20-inch monitors, bluetooth USB dongle for the mighty mouse.
