Wiki is based on info gathered from this thread, that doens't mean it's exclusive. We have two major variables with this board: 1. any hardware that deviates from proven, 2 a custom 'grey area' bios which gives us the advertised AOS functionality (personally that's my main pickle with this board - no disrespect to the bios devs - quite to the contrary -  infortunately when things don't work as advertised, the devs have no obligation to QUO i'm guessing and we're basically at their mercy, or go tonyhack which is kinda an insult to this board's potential).

 

Bottom line is try and test for yourself, like the rest of us. We're all walking on grey lines here... ;-)

 

 

 

=> FAO the forum moderators, can we pin the link to the wiki as 1st post to this thread

 

 

I am going to purchase the Graphic card they recommend but for the memory I am sticking with Corsair Vengeance Pro series.  Tech support told me that the adata was tested but they was only the 16Gb modules.  They did not test the 32Gb and adata does not sell the set up 4 as Corsair does and QC'd that all 4 modules will work together so I will take my chance on the corsair.   As long as OpenCL works OOTB with the graphics cards they listed I am fine with that.

 

Its funny Tech support told me the EVGA GTX 660 or the ti version yet Wiki does not list that one?  He told me OpenCL works OOTB with the 660.  SO now I am lost.  Wiki has a different list than what Tech support had told me, unless they just tested the 660 and just did not update the wiki?

Sorry for the garble tapatalk screwed this post up... Here goes again

 

GOOD NEWS!!!! (Well for me at least :) )

 

HIS RADEON RADEON 7750 (low profile) WORKS OOTB, FULLY RECOGNISED IN MAVERICKS !! (With 828 bios)

 

Woohoo!!

 

On not so good news, Mavericks isn't liking the Sapphire version of this card. I get a black screen after the boot loader (first apple I guess) loads mavericks. From then on its allll black. I'm guessing maybe if I add the device id to AMD7000controller.kext it may work, (card works fine in Linux btw, just to rule the harwdare out)... It's strange that on Tony's forums this specific card has been reported to work OOTB though.... To be continued....

 

 

Now for the bad news. CAN'T POST with both cards on board. Could this be broken in the BIOS? :((

 

Both PCI express lanes work (1&4). Each card works separately in one of those lanes by themselves. Put both in, no go. No Quo Logo, Nada. I can tell it hasn't posted yet because in this condition a single press of the power button switched the machine off, whereas if an OS has loaded it requires a long press to power off. A single press puts it to sleep. Not the case here.

 

've tried the following settings in 828 bios, changing one at a time, starting from loaded optimised defaults.

- init graphics Auto

- init graphics PCIe

- PCIe gen set to auto

- PCIe fixed to Gen3

- PCIe fixed to Gen2

- 3mark01 boost set to normal

- 3dmark01 boost set to legacy

- video cable attached to card in lane 1 (hdmi / dvi)

- video cable attached to cable in lane 4 (hdmi / dvi)

 

In every single test, on power on I get a black screen, no Quo Logo... Even after 5 min wait...

 

Anyone else tried two video cards (let alone crossfire) with the Oz bios? (King? If u still have any patience left.....?)

 

My setup: core I5 3570k 4gigs of ram, 2 ssds, HIS + SAPPHIRE Radeon 7750 1024 GDDR5

Sorry, I was just trying to be funny. I don't know about the card's suitability either. I use the TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 PCIe card and the IOGEAR GBU521 USB dongle - at ~$50 + ~$12 it's a pretty expensive solution, and although the Wifi is rock solid OOB, bluetooth is a bit fussy.

 

My version of the QUO motherboard doesn't have a mini-PCIe slot. Is there another version that does?

 

 

I have that same TP link Wifi card.  I don't care too much about BT.  Is OpenCL working 100% OOTB with that Graphics card or is there some fix etc you need to do?  The model I am looking at is 02G-P4-2765-KR.   

 

I am also looking at the EVGA GTX 660 2GB.  They also make a 3GB version but 2 is enough for now.  I really don't want to spend more than a couple 100 US on a GC.

Ram is ram as far as I'm concerned (speeds not withstanding this comment). Go for the cheap stuff u'll be cursing, especially with OS X - doesn't like the {censored} stuff (kernel panic prone), not to mention ur data will probably corrupt with flipped bits. Personally I'm running. With corsair XMS3 works just fine. You might wanna check the max ram ur CPU can handle though, no point maxing out to 32 gb if it can only handle 16....

 

As for gfx, the Same rules apply here as for a normal hack I reckon. It's all down to the drivers present in OS X. Nvidia is usually hassle free, Ati better choose wisely.

Thanks I'll stay away from the 1866 the 1600 is cheaper.  I have the I7-3770K it can handle at least 32GB.  I will also look at the XMS3 which is what I have in some of my older rigs.

Patience I have, what I do not have is 2x nvidia  or ati cards to test...

 

Some advice for you on multiple discrete gfx cards:

1. do not touch BIOS settings(let everything to auto)

2. make sure card in slot 1 have display connected to it, as test try with display connected only on it

3. test at first only card ports closest to the motherboard and avoid the use of HDMI port best is DVI

 

Good luck!

That's a great example of people disagreeing while having each one quite valid points.

P.S.: King, i know it's probably not your role here, but since you're online and posting, do you know of any plans from Quo Computers to release a LGA 1150 motherboard for Haswell CPUs?

 

 

Before I placed my order the tech support person told me that they will not have plans for 1150 socket since Haswell has minimal performance gains over IvyBridge 1155 socket.

 

They did hint on a remarkable and significant MB upgrade possibly in the next 2 years based on the dual socket design.  Could that mean 2011 socket not sure?

Well if he is being sincere that is a bit of a bummer. while it is true that haswell does not have large performance improvements the iGPU is substantially better and z87 platform does have some nice improvements- and it would be nice to have a TB2 board as well as maybe a full ATX option. A dual socket board does sound intriguing but would only cater to a very small high end niche of the market and would have to remain price and feature competitive with the mac pro. 

 

My guess, and it is only a guess, is that QUO has lost much of its enthusiasm for this AOS business. It may not have been as successful as they hoped or perhaps for some other reasons they seem like they are winding down the whole AOS thing instead of reinvesting in new products. I am mostly disappointed that they never got thunderbolt hot-swap working and don't even provide an option to make use of the firewire800 ports. I am glad they are still selling this board but i don't have a lot of confidence that this will be anything but a one-off product.

In going back I noticed this part of your post. There's a fix posted here:

 

http://www.techspot.com/article/720-building-a-hackintosh/

 

About halfway down under "Working Out The Kinks" that worked for me. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot.

 

 

If FakeSMC sensors are installed, assuming they install in /S/L/E doesn't that cause a conflict with the one that already exists in the EFI partition?  Should the one in the EFI partition be replaced with the FakeSMC sensors?  I have to assume the sensor kext files CPU, GPU etc would also need to be placed in the same location (EFI Partition)?

 I had iStat working great with fakesmc and sensor kexts, but after a reinstall it went crazy and iStat started crashing in the menubar. I'm currently trying to get it working again but when it was working all I had done was install the kexts with kext utility and it worked fine.

It won't work because FakeSMC loads from EFI first so I would think that will cause some conflict with the FakeSMC in /S/L/E.  I also think that FakeSMC cannot be replaced in EFI partition because I have to assume the script was written specifically for this Board.

 

I am also unsure how it will work with legacy install/boot/Chameleon unless there is a setting that will ignore the EFI or the EFI files do not get installed when installing legacy way?

The HermitCrabs BIOS contains FakeSMC. It's not loaded from the EFI partition.

 

In any case, OS X will always load the copy of the kext with the highest bundle version so if you install a newer version in /S/L/E that will take preference over the one in the BIOS.

That's good to know sorry about the incorrect information in my prior post. If fakesmc were in the efi would the same rule apply?

Good to know. I know it worked before. Just wish I could figure out why iStat keeps wigging out on me now.

 

On my system, the latest release of the iStat Menus.app version 4.20 also fails to load and crashes under both the OS X 10.8.5 and 10.9.1.

Holy {censored} I never even thought of that. I tracked down 4.1 and it's working great. I've got CPU and Memory displaying, although CPU temp sensors aren't being detected. Just need to figure that one out, but no crashing! Thanks dude! I was banging my head against the wall with this thing. I tried 3 reinstalls, different sensor kexts, reinstalled iStat several times. It's always the easiest thing you don't think of. Now if I could just get audio working (Quo's patch isn't doing it), I'd be all set.

Lol ok, fair enough ;)

 

Thanks for the advice. I tried all the above, but still no luck.... I wonder if the bios writes a log somewhere... maybe accessible through the uefi shell? But that would also mean storing incrmental data in the ROM, which has a limited capacity....

I have been struggling most of the night trying to figure out why my EVGA GT 640 won't  work.  It boots up but only to a grey screen?  Not sure if I need to disable the integrated Graphics or what or possibly PCIRootUID=1 or 0?

 

And whats going on with the unknown CPU model?  It is in the list of supported processors on Wiki.  Intel i7-3770K

 

Here is a snippet of the dsemg.

With the EFI install its a bit confusing many aspects, such as just before the install and after.

 

You choose EFI install or do you choose the flash drive from F12 for example.   How can you run commands like you do in Chameleon on the bootlline?  I want to try PCIRootUID=1 for example.  I know you use nvram commands but for example I run the command -v how do I undue it?

 

Examples:

 

sudo nvram boot-args="-v"

How do I change it back to non verbose?

 

Can add PCIRootUID=1 and then change it back to whatever the default was?

 

I have the latest Osmosis 828 and I am lost as to why the EVGA GT 640 will not work.  That is fully supported in all my other builds 10.9.1 and I have several.

 

I had to reboot so many times I the file system got corrupted cannot be repaired, have to reinstall.  One of the installs takes 8 minutes and the other says 28 minutes so one of them must be UEFI and the other Legacy.  I have to assume booting to the flash drive will be Legacy install then right?

 

From Laceomni page 43, thread #856

  • #5 Select UEFI:Install OS X Mavericks

Maybe a screen shot because I don't see that line what so ever.  Keep in mind my flash drive partition was made GUID not master boot record maybe that could be the reason for the difference?

 

Here is what I have from F12:

 

Install OS X Mavericks

UEFI: USB USB Hard Drive 

 

Is the second choice the UEFI installer and the first one a Legacy install?

 

The BIOS is majority flakey and crashes a lot.  Sometimes I see a flashing cursor other times it just won't let me do anything in the Bios, I have to reboot.

 

If I have the EVGA GT 640 card in place no matter what I do I cannot boot using the integrated GPU I get a black screen.  Then when I take out the Discrete Card I still get a black screen until I reboot a couple of times.

 

I will continue to work with it hopefully come up with something but its a lot more work than any of my other Chameleon Builds I can tell you that.

 

I am not complaining or trying to bash the board or its  Bios, I am sure its because I am doing things wrong or have unsupported hardware.

 

Maybe a chance I have a bad Bio chip/board?

 

My Configuration is exactly the same as the Z77X in my Signature except for the TP Link wireless card I have in slot 3 since I cannot get it to fit into slot 2 being the discrete covers over that slot.

 

 

 

EDITED:

 

Removed the Discrete Card and again same issue the screen is black and blinking have to reboot a few times to get back into the Bios major bug.  Loaded Optimized setting in Bios.  Went back into Bios Chose IGUP for Init Display First and Enabled for integrated graphics, saved.  Went back into Bios and Guess what the changes I made went right back to default.  Auto and Auto.

 

Flashed Factory fresh Bios followed by Osmosis same deal over and over again.  Tried a different Graphics card ATI HD 6870 by Gigabyte and same deal boots in to OSX with Grey Screen.

 

Every time I put in a Discrete card the Quo Splash Screen freezes and or/the Bios Freezes.   This is Osmosis 828.

 

I am not having any issues with the Intel 4000 but on occasion the Bios still freezes.

 

EDITED AGAIN:

 

I didn't give up and set up boot-args combinations still no luck just a gray screen which I have seen before without GraphicsEnabler=yes or PCIRootUID=1 or 0.

 

sudo nvram boot-args="-v PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=yes"

 

To clear boot-args

 

sudo nvram -d boot-args

 

To view boot-args

 

sudo nvram -p

 

Tried many combos without really trying these args, ncpi=0x0200 and ncpi=0x0300.`

 

sudo nvram boot-args="-v PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=yes"

 

etc etc.

 

I can't figure it out other than this EVGA GT 640 just will not work which is shocking to say the least when its 100% vanilla in all my other installs with GraphicsEnabler=no.   Well this is not exactly a Chameleon Bootloader either.

 

I did tray the legacy install or booted with a USB flash with Chameleon but I  got "Still Waiting for Device"  Not sure if the SATA controller is supported in legacy or not?

You answer yourself, the card is 100% vanilla(in your opinion) with GraphicsEnabler=no.

On Ozmosis you do not have this feature.

 

For the rest of the "stuff" you are trying, I think you are doing too much instead of reading this topic first.

I did read through all 60 pages of the thread and there are some using Graphics cards not listed on Wiki, like the GTX 760 for example.  Tech Support told me the GTX 660 and ti are supported and they are not even listed on Wiki, and from this site my GT 640 should be supported.

 

http://www.techspot.com/article/720-building-a-hackintosh

 

So not sure why the card will not work?  For under $100 it would be a great card to use for cost savings and performance value.

 

Is there a chance for it to be fully supported possibly on the next firmware revision?

The Wiki is made by a user like you, if you are not satisfied by it, make a better one or contribute/improve it.

About that site, you shouldn't trust everything is said on internet...

 

Dunno if your card will be fully supported on the next firmware revision.
