Hameer Abbasi Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The 550 Ti is known to cause problems. If you can point me to how you got it working, it would be great, though. Everything else is fine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/264818-build-list-please-check/#findComment-1745410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaap Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'd recommend following this guide. Tonymac is the main place I turn to these days for setting up new systems, and so far I've always found good guides for the boards I use. I would check and double check the graphic card, and avoid any card with known issues. These days, newer graphic cards seem to be more trouble than the motherboards or any other part of the system. I've run into the issue with some nVidia cards (4xx, 5xx) that cause random lock-ups unless a low res QT movie is always running in the background- in my book, unacceptable. Meanwhile, other models seem to work with no issues. Do your research on the graphic card before jumping in. I would check the osx86 wiki component lists carefully and really check into the card models and setup methods used. I also still recommend having one of these on hand in case you run into flaky audio issues. Much of the time, life is too short to deal with hassles of onboard audio, whereas the USB audio just works OOB and even sounds better in most cases.
