I'm in exactly the same boat, Sabertooth X79 board with GTX 670, I've had a stable system running for last 3 years with Chimera, with Clover, I can get to the clover boot screen, but no further. I'm also beginning to suspect the X79 boards aren't supported for El Capitan with Clover, but it also...

I have a similar system, and running Yosemite fine. There are a number of builds on the forum using X79 that will help. If you are intending to overclock, I found this thread on controlled speed step for Asus X79 very useful...

Yes, I'm stuck on the OSX Default driver Tim, using the same flags as yourself , although different Graphics Card.

I have the same MB with GTX670 The boot flags I use are GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 These have worked for me with Mavericks/Yosemite

Guide: Asus X79 OS X Controlled SpeedStep This is a fantastic guide, easy to follow, and it works a treat, running great on X79, 3930,OS 10.10.1 , BIOS 4608, throttles up/down 1.2/4.5 nicely, sleep works. I owe you and your colleagues a beer or two shilohh, many thanks.

Photoshop will use as much memory as you can throw at it, especially complex image edits, I would suggest 16GB memory, I have 32 GB which is perhaps overkill for most everyday photoshop tasks. Also, while 120GB SSD is fine for your main OS disk, you will need other disks for storage.

I have a socket 2011 MB, and it works fine, blisteringly fast (GB score of around 21K), there are a number of builds using this kind of MB on the forum, I followed one with a similar set up as mine, and it was relatively straightforward. I've also upgraded to Yosemite without any problem...

Finally, got Yosemite installed on Sabertooth X79 (socket 2011 MB) GTX670 First attempt I kept getting the 'waiting for root device' (stop sign on screen), got past this with -f bootflag, and changed UseKernelCache from 'Yes' to "No' in org.chameleon.Boot.plist, my boot up time is a few...

David I owe you a beer, although my system is not the same as yours, I've been struggling to install Yosemite, your instructions 'kernel flags for safe boot -x npci=0x3000 cpus=1' and the modification to 'org.chameleon.Boot.plist' meant I managed to finally get it up and running. Many, many...

Running a similar system to yours (MB & GC), and it's been running rock solid for 2 years, the only issue I had was getting sound working, but managed. No issues with each & every OS update.

Some excellent information in this thread, thankyou Dave. After the 10.92 update, if anyone loses sound after sleep (like I did), then you can roll back the ALC892 kexts from Multibeast 5.5.5 , some have succesfully rolled back the ALC892 kexts from MB 6.01 (as mentioned in another thread)...
