I have the same build and whenever I use the ready made h170n-wifi-nvidia-config.plist it crashes. I get it all set up installed, restart and then black screen with circle. If i go back to the default one it boots right up. It does not like the h170n-wifi-nvidia-config.plist. Should I not be using that if i have a GT 740? Should I be using this one View attachment h170n-wifi-intel-config.plist?

I've installed anything described as of amullder's guide and everything works great except that when it is going to standby for a very long time, the monitor does not show anything anymore. Also after switching the monitor off/on there's nothing going. Only a hard restart helps. When the machine goes standby for after 15 min or so, it is not of a problem. Only if it's in sleep for more than an hour or so. All help is highly appreciated. Than you very much in advance.

Hello. I have followed this tutorial and created my Dual Boot El Capitan / Win 10 build successfully.
Wifi -> Works
iMessage -> Works
All USB ports -> Work
Shutdown shuts down the computer without the restart bug.

I cant get the dual monitor working with integrated graphics. I am connecting the first monitor with DVI and the other monitor with HDMI through my motherboard (H170N - WIFI, my CPU i5 Skylake HD530).

Note:
1) Dual monitor works in Boot mode but when it boots to OS X, the first monitor goes black and the other has fuzzy graphics and I am able to see the top bar only.
2) Dual monitor works perfectly in Windows 10 with both monitors in 1080p 60Hz.

I have tried the hot plugging method, no results. Any suggestions ? Thanks for this build I love it!

Basically need to remove AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy from the clover config. Hope it helps.

Worked like a charm. Thanks. My typical setup is dual display, but I did confirm that all three monitor outputs are supported (Dual HDMI and DVI) if you need a 3 display setup.

Did take my slow mind a while to figure out how to disable the System Integrity Protection (SIP), but I eventually figured it out.

Thanks again.

I just notice that my dvd drive is not recognized at all. Any thoughts on getting it enabled?

I figured it out running multibeast again and enabling SATA support.
