Gigabyte GA-Z77X DSDT Patch

Support files for running OS X 10.9+ on Gigabyte 7 Series motherboards.

These support files can help you configure the post-installation process on Gigabyte 7 Series motherboards. The current repository uses custom SSDTs for each motherboard along with the GA-Z77X.sh post-installation script to create a working OS X installation.

Usage

Please refer to the wiki for more information as well as detailed instructions.
