Hi, I wanted to thank you for the great guide, I used similar components:
Core i7 4770k
GA-Z87X-UD3H
16GB G.Skill 1600mhz ram
Gigabyte gtx 770 windforce OC 2gb
Corsair 500R white case
I dual booted windows 7 and Mavericks by following this also excellent guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html
I installed Windows 7 first and then OSX Mavericks after. I used the same bios settings as you did and also the exact same multibeast configuration too. Everything installed perfectly with no hiccups.
However I will say that i did not change the boot options initially. For boot option no.1 I had the UEFI partition. I thought that UEFI was one partition and P0 (the other boot option on my boot drive) was another partition. However of course I was mistaken as I assume when installing OSX and Chimera, one boot loader is installed for both OSes which makes the bios see the drive as one partition.
So even with the boot option as UEFI it allowed me to install and boot into OSX and everything seemed fine. However after updating through the app store, I found out that none of my default apps were running, I was getting the 'Blah quit unexpectedly' error for all these apps (barr safari and the utilities apps). I posted a thread about it here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-h...t-unexpectedly-10-9-mavericks.html#post742396
However after realising that I had set the boot options wrong I set it to P0 (it was P0 for me but may not be the same for others) everything is fine and I can now run all the applications.
The only thing I have left to test is sleep mode and waking up from sleep mode (earlier it wouldnt let me wake up from sleep, the usb keyboard wasn't connected as the backlight wasn't on). Hopefully it's working now though!
Anyway I wanted to say thanks alot for this and from what I can see, this combination of components (particularly the motherboard) is great for installing OSX and provides barely any problems whatsoever.
Edit: Just tested manual sleep and it's working. Will test automatic sleep soon (I assume it will behave the same way though).
