patroche Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i have a P5KR, with the same chipset, and audio chip. Sleep, shutdown, and audio work (with kalyway 10.5.1, vanilla kernel) - audio with appleHDA patcher 1.20 (look for it in the hardware/drivers section), there's even a P5KC config file Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84227-asus-p5kc-intel-p35e8400/#findComment-597841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaaseyRacer Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sweet this is very close to the exact same setup I am about to build. The only difference is I am thinking about using either an 880GTS, or my old X1900GT. Unable to make up my mind. @patroche - Do you mind posting your BIOS settings?

funkadelik Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 **bump** I, too, am looking for the settings pls Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84227-asus-p5kc-intel-p35e8400/#findComment-605868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroche Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Ok, i rebooted to check my bios settings: Overclock: CPU ratio 8x FSB Freq 400Mhz DRAM Freq 800Mhz (ddr2) Jmicron eSata/Pata Controller > Enabled -->Controller Mode > AHCI (important) Main section: Sata Config > Enhanced --> IDE USB 2.0 Controller mode > HiSpeed CPU Config: C1E Support > Disabled (works when disabled, not sure what function it has, or if it works enabled) CPUTM > Disabled VANDERPOOL > Disabled (works weither enabled or disabled, not sure about best perf) Execute Disabled bit > Enabled (Important) Max CPUiD Value Limit > Disabled ACPI Version Enabled ACPI APIC Support Enabled Onboard Audio set as "High Definition" (not AC97) the rest is default settings. Overclocking settings make my cpu run at 1600Mhz fsb, 3.2 Mhz with the Intel cpu cooler (delivered with the cpu retail box), and runs very stable (even Vcore voltage set on Auto). The only issue i faced is that the Kalyway (and probably all Mac DVD's) don't boot on an IDE cdrom drive (because it's a Jmicron controller). So i used a Sata drive (get a IDE > Sata adaptator if you only have an ide drive, i bought a Sata DVD Burner just for this), on the non-Jmicron Sata controller (The dvd won't boot on any Jmicron IDE/Sata controller, but there's another SATA controller on the board, just next to the PCI express bus, on the P5kR Asus board). if you have any question about a specific setting just ask Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84227-asus-p5kc-intel-p35e8400/#findComment-605900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkadelik Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 gr8! booted the DVD fine with a SATA DVD drive.. Sorry, to hijack the thread, but also, What settings did you select on the DVD custom Options (ive formated the drive with MBR instead of GUID)? I hope you don't mind.. any direction would be greatly appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84227-asus-p5kc-intel-p35e8400/#findComment-605956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroche Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i formatted as MBR partition too. since i have a 8800GT Nvidia card i diden't check any video drivers (nvinject/natit) since versions on dvd are not compatible (get nvinject 2.0/2.1, read 8800 threads with 10.5.2 drivers on this forum), diden't check any audio drivers either (i installed audio drivers with AppleHDA patcher 1.20 and a codec file i generated on linux, its the same as the P5KC codec file in the "official" AppleHDA patcher thread, in the Drivers section). I was also told that the SSE2 option shoulden't be checked with a Q6600 cpu. so i installed the DVD with following options checked: Vanilla kernel + fix efi(mbr) that's it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84227-asus-p5kc-intel-p35e8400/#findComment-606073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkadelik Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks for the help patroche! I've got it up and running perfectly... well, Im still working on getting my Intel PRO/1000 GT up and running. I can't get internet working because of it. Once again, thanks a lot!
