I currently have 10.9.4 running very(!) stable.

Thinking of doing a clean install of El Capitan. Is it in anyway supported by my setup(s)?

Setup 1
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5-B3
CPU: Intel i7 2600K
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon HD6870

Setup 2
MOBO: Asus P8Z68 Deluxe
CPU: Intel i7 2600K
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon HD6870

If you can successfully run both setups booting the test usb, you should be safe doing the upgrade or fresh installs...
 
Hi, i've got a very stable 10.10 Yosemite, i've tried to do a clean install of El Capitan with this installation guide, but when i'm booting on the USB key i can't pass the black screen and apple logo, nothing happened.

I've got a MSI Z97 PC MATE - Intel Core I5.

Someone can tell me why ?
 
I tried to follow the general instructions (at page 1), but i got a warning from my antivirus tool !!! :eek:
I use the (free) Avast tool and i got following warnings: Infection Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] :banghead:
This warning pushes up, when i try to download:
- El Capitan Post-Install Tools
- official Clover package (Clover_v2.3k_r3280.zip)
- Clover Configurator (Clover-Configurator.zip)
Other downloads are OK with no warnings.
What is the reason and does anybody else get virus warnings ?
 
Unibeast frozen / stops copying files


UPDATE!!!! IT works just wait a while.. I have a very fast machine and it took 20 minutes to get past the 20% mark on the process bar.. so it just appeared to be frozen.

Will try to get El Capitain working ... will update

Hy, after install ok and rebooted, i hit F12 to choose the UEFI install but UEFI USB install is not show, only LEGACY, and LEGACY isn't booting. And i have an option Mac Os X, i hard reset bios but isn't disapeared.
 
For anyone struggling with P55 UD3 board my config.plist is in the attachment.System boots from hard drive and everything is working including audio. Just use CloverALC110 script and make sure that you don't have spaces in your system HDD name.

Installation worked fine. But it just boots from the usb. I tried both UEFI and Legacy Post Installer (My mainboard supports both) and installed the CustoMac Essentials. It does not boot without connected usb.

Where should I put the config.plist, which Clover Configurator exports? At my El Capitan EFI or the mounted EFI?

You should copy your EFI folder from USB to El Capitan HDD with replace and edit config.plist from this folder.
 
My GA-Z77X-UP5-TH system is working nicely with El Capitan with one exception. How do we patch FakeSMC with the plug-ins that provide the various sensor readings like temperatures for other things than the internal drives? These are the only temperatures reported by the FakeSMC installed for Clover.

Thank you for any assistance.
