iMac (27-inch Mid 2011) - Geekbench Browser
Cinebench 11.5 CPU score of 7.57 pts

Working 100% in 32/64 bit mode, including native power management, sleep etc.. *DSDT required*.
The following post-installation solutions are necessary for full functionality:
-Custom DSDT posted below, has no errors, warnings, remarks, patched for 100% sys functionality.
Note: In combination with DSDT linked below, a patched BIOS is required for full functionality, posted below as well *Ver. 3.20 all credits for patched BIOS go to Samisnake*.
-ALC892 Lion AppleHDA.kext for onboard Realtek audio controller *credits to Toleda, kext is included in latest Lion Multibeast* I also included a HDAU entry in the DSDT with in combination with Toleda's kext gives working HDMI audio.
-Latest Chimera
-Video Card works OOB, however HDMI audio and all display outs don't. Solution for this is custom DSDT *below* edited for frame buffer "gibba" as well as a ATI6000Controller kext I modified *taken from 10.7.4* With that and the DSDT graphics edit all display ports are supported and working 100%.
Note: Video Card DSDT graphics entry recognized, as well as HDMI audio HDAU entry, as verified by IORegistry, HDMI audio on this card only works when using mini-hdmi out *as verified in windows as well*
-Realtek RTL8111E Ethernet Controller supported with latest Lynx2Mac's installer included in Multibeast. (Realtek manufacterer drivers caused KP under heavy network load for me)
-Cpu Overclocked to 3.9 GHz, SMBIOS.plist modifed to show correct speed. (iMac12,2)
-Modified AppleGraphicsControl&AppleGraphicsPowerManagement kexts. AppleGraphicsPowerManagement modified for use with HD 6870: "iMac12,2" & 10.7.4
Note: Personal org.chameleon.Boot.plist, smbios.plist, DSDT.aml, etc... attached below.Download patched ASRock p67 Pro3 ver. 3.20 BIOS, credits go to samisnake.
