Let me try again......

Bluetooth won't work if the ANTENNA is not installed. It took me a while to figure this out.

Hey bnd555,
You should see 10 cores, not 6.
Your VoodooTSCSync.kext needs the following:
<key>IOPropertyMatch</key>
<dict>
<key>IOCPUNumber</key>
<integer>19</integer>
</dict>

I tried with the antennas as well, no change. Can you check again and post screen shot please?

I use the SABRENT USB audio converter because I have had problems in the past on other hackintoshes when Apple does a software update. It was just easier for me.
My USB 3.1 is NOT stable. I have random eject issues also.
My other USB 2.0 & 3.0 ports all work, but only at USB 2.0 speeds.

Your EFI is really no different than mine or Rocket88.
How is everyone getting USB to work?
Am I missing something in the BIOS?
I ran ioreg and found the only USB ports working....
HS01 (back panel lowest USB port under the ethernet port closest to the PCI slots
HS13 Front USB 1_2 mobo header that is my front USB port
HS14 Front USB 1_2 mobo header that is my front USB port
I have tried the following boot argument...
uia_exclude=HS02;HS04;HS05;HS06;HS11;SSP01:SSP02:SSP03:SSP04

Rocket88 I am running the exact same hardware setup you have... does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

I don't really have in-depth knowledge, I can share screen shots and files if that helps.
