Looks great!
The sleep issue is pretty odd.. what system definition are you using? The correct one for the Haswell builds is iMac 14,2.. could possibly be a motherboard setting causing the issue.
As far as dual boot, I was having the worst time getting my UEFI version of Windows 10 to format and install onto a partition of the same boot drive as my OSX install. I instead used a spare 7200rpm HDD I had laying around.. it is much slower than my mac side of things, but I only use it to play Fallout 4 right now.
Easiest way to not confuse your UEFI in the motherboard is to disconnect the OSX SSD/boot drive from power and install Windows UEFI onto a separate drive. I didn't have any luck at all running a second partition on my SSD. Windows would fail on the "copying files" portion of the install.
When creating a bootable Windows 10 USB thumb drive, you have an option for MBR or UEFI install. Always choose UEFI with UEFI motherboards. MUCH faster boot times and compatibility with Clover.
I just checked and mine is currently 'Mac Pro 3,1'. Would it be good to change the definition in MultiBeast to iMac 14,2? (could that solve the sleep issue). I only changed the recommended settings on the motherboard when setting everything up (disable VT-d and CFG-lock in the BIOS/EFI).
And that makes sense about windows, that's just about where I was up to, I managed to force win 7 to do UEFI install but then couldn't get it to install on partition 2...
As I am trying to get everything done right from the start I am going to go pick up another 850 EVO tomorrow and will try win7 on there. If I still have no luck I will just download and install win10. Don't really want to upgrade from 7 just yet, but I guess its probably a good time since I have to set everything up from scratch anyway.
