Hi,
Are wifi and Bluetooth working? And if so, out of the box?
What about iMessage/FaceTime?
Thank you so much! I am currently planning a pretty similar build.

Hello, I haven't tried facetime, but that should be working without any problems.

About Wifi/Bluetooth, I have neither because this mobo doesn't come with that. However, the mini-itx version Z170N does.

Although I would recommend replacing the stock wifi card to one of the recommended cards on the forum.

Can you provide the details that you followed to put this board to work?

I follow this steps until now, but no success:
1. Create a USB Installer for El Captain using Unibeast 6.2.0 (EFI mode)
2. Connect monitor in Nvidia Graphics Card (GTX 950) on HDMI port
3. Use keyboard and USB Installer in top back usb ports (2.0)
4. Change in bios:
  • In BIOS Features
    • Fast Boot: Disabled
    • Windows 8/10 Fatures: Windows 8/10
    • CSM Support: Disabled
    • Network Stack: Disabled
  • In Peripherals:
    • Intel Platform Trust Technology: Disabled
    • Initial Display Output: PCIe 1 Slot (Or whatever slot your GFX is in)
    • Legacy USB Support: Enabled
    • XHCI Hand-off: Enabled
    • Port 60/64 Emulation: Disabled
    • In Super IO Configuration:
      • Serial Port 1: Disabled
  • In Chipset:
    • VT-d: Disabled
    • Internal Graphics: Disabled
    • Audio Controller: Enabled
    • PCH LAN Controller: Enabled
    • IOAPIC 24-119 Entries: Enabled
5. Try to boot the installer with options: -v nv_disable=1

The boot keep looping the message and not start, even in safe mode (-s):
SIGNING: cs invalid page (0x100457000): p=1[launchd] final status 0x2000000, allowing remove valid page

Do you have any tip to help booting the El Captain installer?

I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing that there's a problem with your clover config.plist. It seems that it doesn't want to sign certain files which could mean a problem with SIP?
 
Can't disable SIP (El Capitan)

To disable or enable SIP add the settings to your config.plist.

Clover Configurator > Rt Variables > BooterConfig and CsrActiveConfig

Relevant user options for SIP are as follows:
csr-active-config 0x0 = SIP Enabled (Default)
csr-active-config 0x3 = SIP Partially Disabled (Loads unsigned kexts)
csr-active-config 0x67 = SIP Disabled completely

Code:
<key>RtVariables</key>
    <dict>
        <key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
        <string>0x3</string>
        <key>BooterConfig</key>
        <string>0x28</string>
    </dict>
