Hi there, I'm about to build the same machine as some of you are with almost the same parts. Did you guys get yours working fine? I have been told with all the new hardware I might have to wait till the new Mac Pro is refreshed but it seems to not be the case?
How is your builds going? Im looking to use the i7 5820k, Gigabyte ud4 motherboard and the gtx 760 as well as 2 solid state drives.

Mac Pro refreshes should give us native power management. Besides that everything else works.

5820k + UD4 will work easy.

Hi guys!
Thanks for this thread.
I am building my first Hackintosh and have so far managed to install Yosemite on GA-X99-UD4 / i7-5820K / GTX770, however having some difficulties with post-installation.

I used UniBeast to install on a GUID formatted SSD and then cloned it on an MBR formatted SSD. When I run Multibeast, the system cannot boot and freezes on the white apple logo. I tried re-cloning it a couple of times from the GUID drive and re-running Multibeast with different (and less) options, last time even only the easy mode with no other options selected.

I am not sure if this helps, but I will attach two screenshots in the "v" mode, one with "npci=0x2000" and without. (I don't know if I should enter the flag every time?)

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

You don't use multibeast and you don't clone anything.

Install OS to SSD with Unibeast then once it's running install Clover to SSD/EFI and switch to clover as your boot loader.

Booting with the USB but I can live with that for now. Audio through a Fiio DAC - will deal with that later.

Not sure if it made a difference or not, but since I don't use bluetooth with my desktop, I disabled it in bios. I then got past that error. This may have been a coincidence.

I got the crucial ballistix 2400 kit.

I feel my ram is holding back my geekbench score; with your ram I could probably score even higher.

No you will not. The RAM has not much impact on the test. The most impact has the OC in your bios. I believe.

If you compare our runs you can see my RAM is trailing his.

I was able to reduce my timings to 13-13-13 28 so now my ram scores 6344 multi but the g skill is 6811
