TheCoolNerds Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey dudes, I am wondering if anybody has had any problems with the INTEL p35 chipset and MAC OS X? thanks im trying to decide wether to get a ASUS P5W DH DELUXE with 975x chipset or a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R with a P35 Chipset.

hackintom Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Good question: I'm selling my P5W-DH, does osx86 works flawless with P35-DS3P ?? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58582-intel-p35-chipset-motherboards/#findComment-418030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeplover Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 On GA-P35-DS4 + DQ6 everything works out of the box. SATA recog. as Generic AHCI v1.2 with 3gigabit. Network needs Realtek 8111 driver and no sound at all with the internal Azalia ALC889 for now. Really great mobos - worth the money.

hackintom Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Huh ? No sound ? How can we do ? Add a soundcard ? What iHack users do when they need sound but they have a "soundless" mother-board ? Damn, I'm soooooooooo disapointed... I thought the P35 Gigabyte family was 100% compatible... Is asus ones 100% compatible ?

hackintom Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 yo hackintom, what are you stoned or stupid? i dont understand what the hell your talking about.. Lol. What part don't you understand ? I'm just surprised to hear that the Azalia ALC889 on Gigabyte P35 motherboard doesn't work, whereas I thought it worked. So I'm asking what we can do to add sound (external usb sound card or else). And I'm asking what P35 boards are 100% compatible (Asus ?) BTW, yes, I'm stoned. But if you don't understand what I'm saying, maybe YOU are stupid....

cyclonefr Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Please do a search, this was talked before and there are like 4 topics about that. ASUS ones work. For more info, search.

asap18 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 that attitude will most definitely not attract people to help you. At this point as CycloneFr said, the asus p5k-e/p5k-dlx are likely the most compatible boards.

hackintom Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 If you don't accept comments, maybe you should use the search fonction...in order that you'll have the answers you want without comments from people like me. The answer to your topic is P35, don't buy a 975, it's too old. Obvious, don't you think ? 975, that's what I'm selling for a P35. Hope you'll be happy with that. Tom PS: thanks to you ASAP18 for your clear and quick answer !

sheeplover Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Back to topic: The 889 sound doesn't work for now. The rest of the mobo is 100% compatible. Im pretty shure there will be driver for this chipset in the nearest future. Believe me. Until then, use one of the other possibilities: Add an usb-soundcard starting from $1,99 at ebay. About $40-$50 for the better ones. If you need better quality you can go for a Behringer FCA202 Firewire Interface for example. Costs about $99. Good choice and fully Mac compatible. Third solution would be an internal pci card. Some folks here use c-media cards that range from $5 - $25. The whole range of Soundblaster PCI-cards is INCOMPATIBLE. The P35 mobos by Gigabyte give you a lot of overclocking potential if you need to. For me they just offer a steady built mainboard with good specs for a lower price than ASUS. And as you look around here you can see that many of the Deluxe ASUS mobos need a lot of tweaking to get them to work. I'm not the big Gigabyte fanatic, I prefer ASUS in generally and own two ASUS machines and my GA-P35-DS4 is mounted into an ASUS case. But when making the choice for my hackintosh parts I decided that the GA mobo would give me the best price-performance-ratio regarding the nearly full compatible mainboards. The "older" chipsets like 965 and 975 (975 is in theoretically faster then P35) where no choice because they are running out and don't have support for the new upcoming 42nm cpus and the higher FSB. The P35 and G33 do. Hope this helps a bit.

TheCoolNerds Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 well, i tried switching the resolution to try to run APERTURE, but this {censored} monitor doesnt support anything above 1024x768, so it basically craps out the monitor, but when i restart,the gray mac os x screen comes up, and then it switches to the higher resolutioon and craps out again.... anyone know how to return it to a safer resolution?

Have you tried booting in safe mode ? Have you tried booting with your {censored} monitor unplugged ? I guess you can set the resolution during the boot, don't ask me how...

sheeplover Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 You're welcome, hackintom! :-) Regarding you monitor: Try to set the kernel flag for the Resolution in you com.Apple.boot.plist: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1024×768×32</string> Might help. Regarding sound: I looked around for 2 minutes and found the exact C-Media PCI soundcard that'll work. The C-Media 8738 PCI as mentioned here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=320262 Ranging about $8-$10 for example here: http://www3.shopping.com/xPO-DabsValue-C-M...8-6-Channel-PCI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58582-intel-p35-chipset-motherboards/#findComment-418633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoolNerds Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 is there a way to do it like you know when it asks you to enter an start up options... like for example if you type in -v it goes through diagnostics? the screen craps out after the gray MAC screen.......

helios Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 hmm try the -x or -s kernel option and you should be able to enter GUI and change the resolution Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58582-intel-p35-chipset-motherboards/#findComment-418678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanford Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 For hackintom and the rest... I have a GB-p35-ds3r running with Azilia 889 sound. I used the jas 10.4.8 DVD install and edited the kext to reflect the vendor code of 10ec:0889 and IOPCIP of 293e:8086. Realtek R1000 driver package for networking. Upgraded to 10.4.10 using the koos kaspers upgrade guide and everything works with the exception of sleep.

motrek Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm going to put together a quadcore soon and have some questions. Newegg is selling the Gigabyte P35-DS3L, not the DS3R. I notice you guy have been talking about the DS3R and I can't find any information on the differences between the two. I assume they are small but just wanted to make sure if anybody knows for sure. There's a thread with someone who couldn't get the DS3L to work at all but another poster said he got it working but had some problems with it so I'm nervous. :/ Also, while I'm writing a post here, I was thinking about getting a 7300LE video card for $30. I think people have gotten it to work and some kind of 7300 came with old iMacs, but can anybody tell me for sure if it will be compatible? Another idle question: does anybody know if memory has to be paired these days? I'm thinking about getting just one 2gb stick of RAM but am not sure if it will work. Thanks in advance!

Ant1Fl4g Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Try editing it as sudo... type cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration sudo nano com.apple.boot.plist and enter your PW. Finally save and reboot (after editing Graphics Mode bla bla...) Now it should work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58582-intel-p35-chipset-motherboards/#findComment-485880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps a bit. . . erm, no: you will see from this list that a large number of Asus P945/P965/i975X motherboards [including the very well-sorted/tested for OSX86 P5WDH Deluxe] have support, given up-to-date firmware, for the bran' new 45nm C2Ds.

theotheo Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I would go for a p35. I have a gigabyte p35-ds3r and all components work (YES that includes audio with spdif). search this forum for kexts.
