I tried out in audio-Midi-support program but 5.1 is disabled -.-

Is there anyway to get the Fanspeed of my GTX260 from EVGA (its the SuperSuperClocked edition) to control?

(((is my english acceptable?)))

Your English is fine

Yes, you'll need Legacy889HDA.kext and original AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.2.

There are a number of ways to get 5.1 over SPDIF. For example: Soundflower.
The easiest is probably just to install Plex and enable digital out in Plex system pref. (If you don't use Plex already try it. It is arguably one of the best media center solutions out there)
I am sure there are more ways to do it. Google is your friend.

ill guess ill go that route, so ill have no problems with chameleon. airwalk do you have sleep working?

If you are using same BIOS, dsdt and ssdt files Airwalk and I are using than sleep should be working. You need to enable S3 option in a BIOS, all/any C options (C1E or C6 are the ones I tried). Computer goes to deep sleep and wakes up fine. However I don't use sleep. My MB version is 1.0 and after several sleep/wake events I see my temps going up. You can read all about it on EVGA forums. It is a well known issue that EVGA still failed to fix after numerous BIOS upgrades. People with MB v.1.1 reported mixed results - S3 working for some but not all. People who have Virtualization disabled/don't use it seem to have better luck with double pumping issues and sleep.

I had to reinstall windows to get AHCI mode working correctly (ahci sata drivers)....seems like mac doesn't like AHCI-IDE mode, i have to adjust the switch to AHCI-AHCI mode whenever i want to switch between the two in bios

So for overclockers in here, what do you guys use to stress the CPU if its stable or not?
i just type this "yes > /dev/null" in terminal. like 15 terminal windows. i dont know if its an accurate way of stabilizing the overclock, but ive had no problems so far. i top out at 63C full load 4.0 GHz. i mainly use the hackintosh for video editing (8TB of HDD) which only tops around 50C when rendering videos. idling at 28C btw. varies from 26-30C depending on ambient temp.

I personally use mprime95 I think MSInfo does also

Your Temps look at par with ours
A smart friend of mine once told me the i7 has an internal thermal max/throttle down point of 102 degrees.

thanks

I just bought the new EVGA X58 SLI 3, so I guess I'm screwed on native power management for now because it has 6 core support in the first bios. Should I try using one of the older bioses from one of the other boards? If someone got the power management kexts from a new Mac Pro, would that work? Will the 10.6.5 update include a power management kext that will work?

Also, I can't seem to get sound to work. I've tried all kinds of different Legacy kexts including the one from airwalk667's extra folder, along with the hdef section from his DSDT and a stock 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext. I can see the list of outputs and stuff in Apple System Profiler, but theres nothing in the Sound preference pane. Maybe the SLI 3 has a different codec than the ALC 889a? What should I do? lspci gives me 8086:3a3e for the device id, and although I know that's different than the codec id or whatever, I saw that id associated with the ALC1200 in a number of searches. Basically, I don't know how to find out which ALC I have.

EDIT: Crud, figured out how to get it from Linux, looks like I have ALC892.

Maybe I should return this SLI 3 and get something else.

Thanks!

BTW I'm not a total noob. I started out on a EP45-DS3L, I was a pioneer on the Zotac IONITX-G-E, I've done an ASUS P6T SE, G41-ES2L, and even an old AsRock P4i65g. Just wanted to put that out there to let people know that for the most part I know what I'm doing, and they don't think I'm a noob.

Actually, I just got it working with voodoohda 2.56. I had tried 2.60 or 2.61 (forget which, whichever one is in MultiBeast) and it didn't work at all. It made one of the SMC kexts KP on boot. Anyway I'm pretty happy with 2.56. Sound in and all that works great. Hopefully I can figure out how to make a disabler for AppleHDA so I don't have to carefully remove it in the future. Or, hopefully a future AppleHDA will support ALC892.

Now for power management... Maybe I'll sneak into a place that sells Mac Pros with a thumb drive and copy the power management kexts when no one is looking.
