macnew2 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 very kind, wanting to spend less, even giving a sata 3 and usb 3.0? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285531-motherboard-economic/#findComment-1879153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
buoo Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 GA-H77-DS3H AsRock H77M AsRock H77 Pro4-M MSI ZH77A-G41 MSI ZH77MA-G43 The two Gigabyte mobos are very very compatible, native power management without patching bios or AppleIntelCPUPM.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285531-motherboard-economic/#findComment-1879155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnew2 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 a motherboard with the same chipset, but cheaper, would do the same? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285531-motherboard-economic/#findComment-1879306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
buoo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 yep, also mobos with older chipset like: Z68, P67, H67, H61 When you choose a mobo, you should take a look also to other devices. Stay away from VIA audio chips and Broadcom Lan.

macnew2 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 what are the characteristics to be avoided at all? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285531-motherboard-economic/#findComment-1879338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
buoo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I've only said "stay away from VIA audio chips and Broadcom Lan". i.e. I would not buy http://it.gigabyte.c...-z77m-d3hrev_10 because it mounts the VIA VT2012 audio. i.e. I would not buy http://www.asrock.co...=Specifications because it mounts the Broadcom BCM57781 Lan. I would buy GA-Z77-DS3H because it is one of the most compatible motherboard that I ever seen and it's really cheap.

subxero Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 For a cost effective solution, I can recommend 2 Gigabyte boards. B75M D3P which has 3x SATAIII (1 on Intel Chipset & 2 on Marvell Chipset) and 5x SATAII with USB3.0 or the cheaper option B75M D3H which has 1x SATA III & 4x SATAII. Both of these boards are perfect budget UEFI boards with ALC887 Sound and Realtek LAN which are the most common chipsets ever. ML even detects the Marvell SATAIII ports on the D3P version. I run both without the need for a DSDT file - Sleep works, everything works. Although you will need a DSDT if you want HDMI Audio. I have no need for HDMI so have not tied that. I use a patched 887 AppleHDA with an HDAEnabler which gives me 5.1 audio. You cannot go wrong with these 2 boards as economy solutions. Unless you want to overclock. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285531-motherboard-economic/#findComment-1879452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macnew2 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 agree, was a possibility for a Quad Core 9450.All 3 equally compatible, or a model is better than the other?

buoo Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 yep, you can combine Asrock G41M-S3 withQ9450 it is really suitable? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285531-motherboard-economic/#findComment-1880103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
