Installation
UniBeast Installation Thumb Drive
Use the Tonymacx86 guide here for making the UniBeast installation thumb drive. Note: You can use a 8GB thumb drive, but I recommend using a 16GB one so you can also add MultiBeast and other files on it. When the installation thumb drive is made add the following files on it:
MultiBeast Sierra
EFI Mounter V3
Toleda’s audio_cloverALC-120 command
Clover Configurator
Nvidia webdrivers
BIOS settings
I used the BIOS settings from Stork’s gene build linked here.

Installation Procedures
1:Insert the thumb drive in one of the usb ports than start your computer and hit F8.
2: Select (name usb b)UEFI.
3: When you reach the clover install screen select the thumb drive, hit enter and follow the steps in the OS X installer.
4: When the installation is done and your computer reboots, hit f8 again and select your thumb drive again.
5: Select the disk you chose to install OS X on.
6: Complete the installation.
7: Welkom to Sierra.
Drivers
Drag MultiBeast from the thumb drive to your Desktop and open it. If it won’t open, go to system preferences > Security and Privacy > Allow apps downloaded from > anywhere or like shown in this guide when you are on Sierra. When you’re in MultiBeast download the following:
drivers:
IntelMausiEthernet v2.2.0
ALC1150
100 series audio
Bootloaders:
Clover UEFI Boot Mode
When you installed the drivers from MultiBeast, run the Nvidia web drivers (note: ONLY HDML works) and hit restart when finished. When your computer reboots again, hit F8, select the thumb drive and boot to your system drive.
Fixes
Now, if you boot from the system drive, you won’t reach Sierra. To fix this, use EFI Mount V3 to mount the EFI partition of your USB installation thumb drive and your system drive. Than replace the EFI folder from the system drive with the one from the thumb drive. Now you should be able to boot from the system drive
Sound fix: Use EFI Mount V3 to mount your system drive and go to EFI > Clover > config.plist. Open it with a text editor, scroll down to RtVariables > CsrActiveConfig and make sure it’s set to 0x67 like shown in the picture below:
This disables the SIP so you can use the Clover_alc-120 Command; you can change it back afterwards. Now restart and this time boot to your system drive using f8 to set your system drive to the number 1 boot priority in BIOS, select your system drive from the Clover menu and boot. When you are back on your Desktop, run the Clover_alc-120 Command from Toleda; answer the y/n questions with 3 times with "y". When the command is done, restart and the audio should be working.
You can now use Cover Configurator's Magic Wand to create a SMBIOS.
As far as I know, everything should be working by now with exception of iMessage and Facetime which I'm going to try and fix later. Feel free to give suggestions/ask questions. (Note: I've remove the board-ID and serial number in the attached config.plist)
