    I could not use Flashback as our MB does not support it. I have the V LX just like you. Read first post and use PMPatch.
    List of ASUS Motherboards that support USB Flashback
    • P9X79 DELUXE
    • P9X79 PRO
    • P9X79
    • SABERTOOTH X79
    • Rampage IV Extreme
    • Rampage IV Formula
    • Rampage IV GENE
    • P9X79WS
    • P8Z77-M
    • P8Z77-V PRO
    • M5A99X EVO R2.0
    • Z87-PRO
    • M5A97 R2.0
    • P8Z77-I DELUXE
    • SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 - ASUS
    • H87-PRO

    Just some research by myself with Google and ASUS. Not sure if there are more. Probably, if you come accross some let me know and I will update the list.

    Highly recommend the P8Z77-V LX BIOS 2204 update: Improve memory stability.

    Yay, update to 10.9.2 worked well for AUS P8Z77-V LX.
    System InformationScreenSnapz001.png

    Simple update procedure as follows:
    1. Repair Permissions using the Disk Utility or supply the following code in Terminal:
    Code:
    Select All
    sudo diskutil repairPermissions /
    2. Download Multibeast 6.1.0 and place it on your desktop Downloads - tonymacx86.com
    3. Backup your current installation using Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper;
    4. Download the combo update. Not through Mac App Store! (recommend downloading and using the Combo Update)
    5. Reboot;
    6. Run MultiBeast for Mavericks and just select your audio driver to install and TRIM (if you have a SSD drive). See screenshot.

    7. Reboot
    8. Repair Permissions again
    Code:

    sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

    Very interesting read, thanks, even though I don;t plan on making a hackintosh soon.
     
  7. Hey. I have changed the settings in the UEFI BIOS Setup Utility to best match the images you posted. I am trying to use the Niresh iso distro of mavericks because I do not have a mac available to create my own. I burned the iso to a usb, and tried to boot. I get a black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left corner. I waited for 10 mins and nothing happened. Please help. (I did not patch my BIOS)

    Motherboard: Asus B85-PLUS

    Hi! Sorry for replying a month later, but is there a patched version of the UEFI P8b75-m motherboard? And how would I flash it? My motherboard does not have flashing capabilities.

    paste this in terminal for repairing permissions, you only have to do it when have altered the filesystem i.e when you've added a kext or removed one, or patched one.

    Should be fine the radeon graphics might be a little problem but nothing major.
    I'd use clover over chameleon it's a bit of a steep learning curve but much more mac, also wouldn't bother with distro's if using for music just use a install from macstore (vanilla).
    Audio should work,just need to install patched kext, wouldn't bother with multibeast for it just install the kext.

    I need the graphics obviously for video editing obviously. sound isnt as much of an issue as it will all be processed externally. my alesis board, and akai eie for travel and a roland ua-1000. the sound ports will not be used as it all connects usb. if i was going to, and im not, id buy a particular sound card i looked but it isnt necessary.
    dunno if this changes anything i should have stated it from the get go. apologize.
    --- Double Post Merged, 19 Aug 2014 ---
    im unsure what the difference is in clover and chameleon? also what is a distro? sorry for newbishness
