My hackintosh lives..... in Macau! Soon to be in S.Korea

Hit a major milestone on my HackPro!

So I was playing with system multipliers over the weekend and patched my system USB3.0 to enable on off charge.
This has to be done in a Windows 7 environment. Gigabyte has enablers for their motherboards that allow for 2.5A output per channel at 5V for quick charging of tablets and iPads. Under MacOSX each port sees 900mA for USB3.0 and 400-500mA under USB2.0. Native Mac mother boards all use higher current USB than PCs do.

The surprise came today when I decided to overclock my system to 4.77Ghz, with bus speed of 106.20Mhz, and Ram 2124Mhz. PC12800 Samsung ram can run easily up to 2200Mhz at Cas 11/12 timings and
on my system I'm running 2124Mhz at Cas 9 timings. 9,10,10,21 1-T. I have no heatsinks for the ram and at 2124, the ram temperature is a cozy 33c, or 10-11c above ambient.
My intel 4000 is running at 1650Mhz. Nearly 17,000 for a 32bit score.
Wow... 64 Bit will be 2-3000 more than this!!
Temps are however running high. I may decide to run a faster case fan
to pull more air though the Noctua NH-D14.
So far very pleased.

Major update to my hackintosh!

I decided back in March to do an overhaul of my system. I upgraded my
internal components a got
the following parts:

TP-link TL-WDN4800 This is an extremely fast WIFI card and can do dual band up to 750Mb/sec. Screaming fast card. Natively MacOSX (no drivers needed), windows 7/8 (driver needed), and Unbuntu (no drivers)

Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler. Great performer. Done 4.8Ghz on this already.
Worked flawlessly. Now running 4.75Ghz. Temps are decent.

Ram is now set to 2173Mhz -- getting 11,200/9850 as the overall ram scores in
Geekbench!! At 2173 Your best bet is to set the ram as cas 10 timings at 1.556v /1.56v. 10,11,11, (27-28T).


Discrete graphics has now been installed as of April 30th
Discrete Video card is the Gigabyte GTX Titan. This card works and is recognized fully under MacOSX 10.8.4. Initially when setting this card up I had to use the developer beta for getting the new Nvidia drivers to run the card. Now it just works.
OpenCL drivers have not been implemented yet for any of the new cards and I expect next week Apple will release these for the Haswell HD5000 and GTX700-780 series kepler cards.

Problems:

When you're building a hackintosh, you come to the realization that the Apple Motherboards are extremely specialized in the way they can channel their discrete and on board video into a single thunderbolt port. This is simply not possible on any other board. I can get HD4000 graphics from the Thunderbolt port 1 on my GA-Z77X-UP5-TH v1.0 but the Titan can't use the channel. Intel never released this channel technology to other board makers.
Anyways...

Problem #1 99% fixed~~
FIXED. went with a custom DSDT patch using Chameleon wizard and MaciASL. Full channel 7.0 HDAUDIO using the onboard audio ch1. through the GTX TITAN, and hopefully after my new patch HD4000 as well.
HD4000 is not really that important for audio as the TITAN is. Still a little more tinkering to do. I see that after my last update I have 2 channels of HDMI audio. Hopefully both can be active.

Problem #2
IT isn't. Bad monitor is to blame. HDTV picture from thunderbolt is flawless FIXED!!!
HDMI from motherboard supports up to 2560x1600 no problems and perfect video output.
GTX titan supports up to 8K resolution over 2 monitors (F/A 4096 x 3112 = storage format @ 4K) without breaking a sweat. It can run 4K from a single DVI port. That's pretty darned exciting!
I set the card up using windows7 and set the card up to run at 6.6Ghz with a base frequency of 1.5Ghz.

Performance wise, Geekbench scores 17,200 32bit and 18,720 at 64bit CPU only.
Using the Cinebench scores, Titan comes in at 69-70FPS on par with the other GK110 cards.

Processor scores at 9.5-9.87.


It's a beast of a machine.
