Hey all,

I have built a hackintosh machine with a GA-Z87-HD3 and an i7-4770K and 16Gb Kingston XMP RAM. I've successfully overclocked the CPU up to 4.3GHz without any major fuss, and it's stable.

The only problem is that when the machine is overclocked and I sleep it for a while (10 hours+) the onboard NIC can no longer get a DHCP IP address, and can't send any traffic if I set it to static. It does recognise the cable being connected/disconnected though. If the CPU isn't overclocked this problem doesn't seem to occur.

It still doesn't work after a power off by the way, the only way I can get the NIC to work again is a CMOS reset.

Any ideas? This seems like a hardware issue instead of a software one.
