  1. I'm going to overclock my 4930k, I have a few questions How should I test out the suitable voltage for my clock speed? What is the safe temperature? Should I give it a extremely low voltage and increase it slightly and the other way round? What should I see running prime 95 if it's a stable oc? I'm able to oc at 4.2 ghz 1.22v, Thanks Cooler h100i CPU i7 4930k Mb asus p9x79
  2. @Maxwit44 I'm able to use the ISO file and delete the whole Mac os partition and reformat the drive, thanks dude (:
  3. Hello guys I am building a new rig now and I've tried to install mac OS on my rig using myHack but because Im using and r9 290x which is not supported so my graphics sucks. I have downloaded a iso file of windows 8 from the internet and while I'm on my way of installing Windows I choose the 500gb ssd partition and it said its MRT?( I forgot ) format and it can't be installed. I can't wipe or reformat the disk How can I reformat it in bios or any other method? thanks much
  4. Thanks a lot it helped me out a lot, I'll try your advice and I'll post the result here tmr thanks Edit: I tried resetting my bios but the issue is still here, any other solution? And because my graphics card is not supported, I decided to go with windows 8 now, anyway to re format the disk (ssd) which I installed Mac OS on?
  5. It depends on your budget. Amd gets decent performance for the price but usually it's hotter than nvidia cards If your budget is loose, you should probably grab a nvidia card The build quality of nvidia card is usually more solid and the quality and performance is usually more stable Moreover the device driver and compatibility is higher for nvidia Just a reference Gtx 770 - r9 280x Gtx 780 - r9 290 Gtx 780ti - r9 290x And if you are going to grab a amd r9 series card just like what I did, I advice you to go get an non reference card like gigabyte one
  6. The Ram is ok don't worry, most ram will rock on Mac OS literallyThough you have to be cautious that due to the motherboard comparability it may underclock your ram You have to manually change the clock speed back to the factory default clock speed or enable the X.M.P profile in bios for it
  7. I cannot find any kext file for r9 290x on the web, some say its because of its new reference designAnd I've installed chameleon already P.s. The version I've installed is mavericks Btw I want to ask how could I install the device drivers for my other expansion cards? They are in .exe format which is intended for windows, how could I get .dmg one ? Thanks for help And when I use safari, whenever I move the cursor safari just keep flickering, how can I fix it? Thanks a lot
  8. I hv just finished my first build and ive come across some of the problems, Ill try to keep it as short as possible 1. when I click the power button of my computer, all the lights start up including the computer fan lights, but then it all shut down and automatically they starts up again and boot and starts as normal, is it normal? If not how could I fix it? 2. I hv tried to install Mac os on my new build, but it seems that my amd r9 290x is not supported, is it? 3. I've not over clock my cpu i7 4930k and I've a corsair h100i liquid cooler and the cpu temp is around 34 Celsius when there is no task (just opening up bios, no os installed yet), is it normal? 4. What is the pro and cons of using sata data cables and sata power cables instead of molex power cable and sata data cable? 5. When I entered Mac os the resolution is only 1024x768 by default, there is no way to change it including going to preference, scaling. There is only a 1024x768 option but my monitor is 1080p, how to fix it? 6. After I boot up the computer (no Os installed, all bios setting are optimized defaults), it shows the motherboard vendor screen and it shows overclocking failed even though I haven't overclocked Thank you very much My build cpu i7 4930k Graphics amd r9 290x motherboard Asus p9x79 ram corsair dominator platinum 32gb 4x8gb Psu corsair ax860i cpu cooler corsair h100i case corsair 760t
