I have done mine "upgraded" from Mountain Lion (2 yrs ago) -> Mavericks( 1 yr ago) -> Yosemite (a week ago), all without any issues. Yup, it's an upgrade. NOT even a full clean install.
I have to switch to Clover because of its flexibility. But, you pick whatever that worked for you, and worked for mine.
Here is the config.plist for Clover I use for my motherboard (GA-Z77X-UP5-TH) + NVIDIA GTX 650Ti BOOST. I disable the Intel GFX as I am not using it.
I am not going through how to use Clover, as you can find many guides on the internet how to use it.
1) Copy and replace config.plist to EFI/CLOVER. (You can make a backup if you wish)
2) Copy FakeSMC.kext and AppleIntelE1000e.kext to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10
3) Copy HFSPlus.efi to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI
4) Remove the EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/VBoxHfs-64.efi
The config.plist has the on-the-fly patch to enable the TRIM for non-apple branded SSD. kext-dev-mode=1 is added in the config as well.
That's all you need. Follow the instruction http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html how to create the USB drive but use my instructions above to configure the clover, you should have a fully working system.
Extra info:-
- No, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext is NOT needed.
- The onboard sound is not working without custom Kext. I am using XtremeMac USB TangoBar therefore I don't use the onboard sound. You can install the onboard sound from MultiBeast if you wish to.
- I have not used MultiBeast for any other driver, but you might have different setup.
Edit:
- To fix onboard sound- ALC898 - follow this guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/112458-mavericks-audio-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.html
To use Apple services (Message, Facetime, iClound), you will need to configure the smbios. Use Clover Configurator for that.
