Post Installation
TODO: Everything To get everything on this board working in OS X, several post installation steps need to be done.
There are two ways to enable proper power management for Ivy Bridge CPUs running OS X. The traditional way, used on real Ivy Bridge Macs, is to let AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext control power management. Macs with Haswell (and newer) processors use a different way, XNU CPU Power Management (XCPM). Power management is managed by the kernel in this case, and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext (AICPUPM) is never loaded. While this is not officially used with Ivy Bridge CPUs, it supports them. XCPM can enable extra states that AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement doesn't use. For example, when using AICPUPM with an iMac SMBIOS, you are limited to the standard low frequency (1600MHz for most Ivy Bridge desktop CPUs) and the turbo frequencies (3900MHz for a stock i7-3770K) with no other states in between. With XCPM, 1600MHz, 2500MHz, 2900MHz, 3400Mhz, and 3800MHz states are achieved with an i5-3570K.
Follow this guide, using ALC 898 as the codec. Make sure you take note of the revision of your board. The green ports on the front and back of the board do not work with revision 1.0 of the Z77X-UD5H, but they do work fine with revision 1.1
