I recently installed 10.12.5 using the general uni/multibeast guide on a Gigabyte z170x ud5 th with a 6600.
my last experience with a hackintosh was years ago so I was surprised by how easy it was, I suspect part of that was because I started with clover instead of switching to it.
The only thing I had to do to boot was enable usb fix ownership. Not sure what this does. I haven't gone through the complicated usb fix because the handful of ports I'm using work, though my bluetooth is a bit wonky (after booting I have to unplug and plug in the iogear/broadcom dongle for it to properly pair with an apple wireless kb and it never works with a magic mouse)
I'm curious if I should be using usb fixownership (I can't boot without it) or if the fact that I haven't properly done the long usbinjector fix is the reason I'm having bluetooth issues.
I did also get imessage working, smbios is imac14,1, once I found the nvidia fix for imac17,1 I wasn't sure if it was worth the trouble to change my s/n. looking around there doesn't seem to be any big benefit of using 17,1 over the 14,1.
there are four different things here (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/) none of which I've done, will the only result of doing all that be to allow me to use all my usb ports correctly?

- The APIC patch for the beginning in KextsToPatch in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
- The USBInjectAll kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/...
- A SSDT-USB.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ to configure the correct ports for your motherboard
- If you have more than 15 total USB entries in the SSDT, a boot argument to disable some of them so the total is 15 or fewer. This should probably be in Boot/Arguments in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
