I am currently using my New Hackintosh.

I created a Unibeast USB following standard instructions.
Booted with -x -v maxmem=4096 Graphicsenabler=No
The OS install went smoothly and the system rebooted.
Left the unibeast in.
Once at the Chimera screen I chose the new OS X install and used the same flags.
Went through the OS setup and got to the desktop. I installed the Azul 10.9.5 graphics fix with Kext Utility (Looks like Multibeast 6.5 has integrated this fix now), I then ran multibeast with following options.
Drivers>Audio>Realtek ALCxxx>ALC1150
Drivers>Audio>Realtek ALCxxx> 9Series Motherboard Support
Drivers>Disk>TRIM Enabler>10.9.4 TRIM Patch
Drivers>Misc>FakeSMC v6.9.1315
Drivers>Misc>FakeSMC v6.9.1315 Plugins
Drivers>Misc>USB 3.0 - Universal
Drivers>Network>Intel>AppleIntelE1000e v3.1.0
Bootloaders>Chimera
Customize>Basic Boot Options
Customize>1080p Display Mode (not needed)

I'm not sure what else might be needed for complete functionality or if it is completely stable as I just got it built. So far so good and it has no issues with the M.2 drive booting. Boots pretty fast. Maybe 25 seconds from button press to desktop. However i haven't optimized it yet. I'm sure I can shave off a few second more. It is much faster than my other machine booting.

If anyone has any suggestions, question, or comments please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm actually kinda sad it was so easy. I enjoy the fight and it didn't last long enough. GRIN
 
What is brand of M.2 SSD?
This must be a 2 lane version.
 
What m.2 drive did you use for booting? Did it boot fine for Windows and Mac? How do you have it set up to boot both operating systems?

What SSD are you using in the m.2 slot? Did you clone from an old drive or install the OS from scratch. I'm actually running windows and want to get an m.2 drive but am afraid of boot issues. Thanks!

Is your M.2 SSD a ACHI or NVMe technology SSD?
