there is a really good thread about osx on a 1000H over at the msi wind forum
here's the link
nice! mine hovers around the high 30's
How are you getting your core temps? I tried Temperature Monitor, but it will only display the hard drive temps.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, if I drop the CPU down to 3.6GHz it'll idle in the mid to high 30's.
Thanks! Awesome link! And on that page I found another super great link on the subject of putting OS X onto an Asus eee pc

wierd, temp monitor works on mine

how do you have a 36x multiplier? i thought the q6600 was limited to a 9x max multiplier
for instance, heres mine

i had the same problem on my E8400 hackint0sh, the trick was to enter the following command in a terminal
Code:
defaults write com.bresink.system.tempmonitor EnableCoreTempReadingsForCPU10670 1This is from the temp monitor website
you are correct the q6600 is limited to a 9x multiplier, i think its my bios on my mobo its a very old version F3 and really needs to be updated to at least F8 that's why the multiplier says 36x ... but since it aint broke ...
well apparently i have a bad speech synthesizer so it looks like i wont be using the temperatures very soon....
lol how are those even related?!
i had that problem when i used a distro (kalyway to be exact)
once i went boot-132, it worked
Temperature Monitor requires the speech files for its say the temperatures warnings/announcements so it expects them to be there which they are not in those distros that remove them to save space a retail install does not have this problem.
Temperature monitor is sometimes sensitive to the voice you have selected for speech under OSX. Just go into your OSX settings and change the voice to one of the first two options. I was getting the same message and when I changed the voice in OSX it worked just fine. I'm logged into my Vista partition right now so I can't tell you specifically what voice I have selected. If you don't get it the first time try again. It should work.
funny ... i had the same problem, go to System Preference > Speech and lower the Speaking Rate to between slow and normal, Temp Monitor should work after that adjustment
haha i have NO idea how they are related, it just gives me this random message and refuses to open......
hhhmmm interesting i will try it!!! thanks
EDIT: AWSOME!!! it worked!!!! CPU is sitting on 35°C while on idle, thats a tad hot.. mainly because i have the crappiest fan and case, which is in a cupboard with less than 1cm around the whole thing lol..
the q6600 is safe until you start hitting over the 70C range from the many sources ive read online
here's one
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide
mine right now are
39,39,36,37
full load running CPUtest are in the range of
69,69,66,66
8 cores
4 cores
That's impressive. A 4 core machine nearly matching the performance of an 8 core machine in the 32bit test. And, since I'm all about performance per dollar the total cost for a 920 i7 with 6GBs of 1600 DDR3, a 1TB 3Gb SATA HD, a 9800GT 512MB, with a case, PSU, KB/M and copy of OSX comes to $1600.
Edit: Also, the Mac Pro score above is the absolute highest Mac Pro 8 core 3.2GHz score in the 32bit Geekbench 2 benchmark that's listed in their results browser.

Does anyone know if a pci firewire card will work with a hac? I could probably figure this out myself by just trying it, but i have stuff to do and cant turn this machine off for a while.
From waht i can see printed on the board its a SCI Firestorm card.
Thanks!

I've got a PCI Firewire card in my Hack. It was just some cheep-o generic one I picked up on Newegg. Plugged it in and it was working. Didn't need any additional kexts or anything. Worked just fine with Final Cut and everything.
Awesome!
I traded my friend his firewire card for some old Dell ram. Now i can use an old firewire drive i've had laying around for ages! Idk what ill do with it though, i dont need a time machine disk... Perhaps ill just keep all sorts of junk on it.

OOooo this is awsome to know! i have a PCI one sitting around, i might hook my external drives up to the PC to share amoungs the network instead of the laptop. thanks for this
@sneezymarbel: why is your hackintosh RAM only 400mhz??
Another idea for a firewire port is an Audigy sound card with it on there they work, plus there is a driver for the sound in development that works fairly well from what I read about it.

That's not my system. I'm guessing it's just reporting the RAM speed incorrectly. It's probably running at 800MHz dual channel. The fact that his system is a new 1366 i7 might have something to do with his RAM speed being reported incorrectly. Maybe Geekbench needs an update or something.
oh ok sorry i thought it was yours! mybad.
that system is very impressive, cant wait to save up money and purchase/build one of them babies, but by time i save up enough money there will probably be something better than i7
The DS2H board is now up and running hackintosh. You need the NVidia MB/MBP restore DVD to get the drivers. Only thing not known is its ability to send digital audio out its optical port. This would be about the best Mac HTPC for now. I doubt HDMI works, though.
Cave Man, it is time for you to build this Hackintosh so you can give us the benefit of your expertise.
I wonder which is the better mobo.
GA-E7AUM-DS2H or
P5N7A-VM
Gigabyte has probably one of the best histories of producing boards that end up being very friendly to OSX. My vote goes to GA. Of course, you can see from my sig that I'm biased.
