Hmmmm. Did you use my procedure to create the USB installation thumb drive config.plist or use my config.plist for 10.12.1 (2555)? I ask these three questions to get more background on how you got to where you're at.

I followed the UniBeast Sierra Installation guide by Tonymacx86 to create the bootable USB drive, and didn't make any changes to Config.plist until I started trying to get NVME SSD to work. At that point, I tried both rehabman's patched NVME kext (which always causes a kernal panic and computer restart), as well as using vanilla kext and adding the patch to "kexts to patch", which doesn't crash, but doesn't show me the drive.

Right now, since I'm experimenting with my EVO 850, I have removed the NVME kexts, and I'm not seeing either drive during installation.

I'm wondering if I should just recreate the boot drive since I've installed a bunch of drivers and even pulled some from other people's dropboxes online, and I'm not exactly sure what I might've messed up.

Yes, I'd create a new UniBeast USB installation thumb drive. Follow my guide in Post #1 - you can either update the thumb drive's config.plist as RehabMan instructs or use my thumb drive config.plist. You should now be able to install on your Samsung 950 Pro, and then use my post installation procedures to create the HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_1.kext.

That being said, I'd install Sierra on your EVO, first, and make the HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_1.kext there. (You can also use this procedure on your MBP instead of the EVO.) Next, copy it over to your USB thumb drive. Finally, install Sierra on the NVMe drive, copy the HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_1.kext to the Desktop after running MultiBeast, use KextBeast to install the HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_1.kext in /S/L/E/ and, lastly, rename the IONVMeFamily.kext in /S/L/E/ to IONVMeFamily.kext.bak, all of which is described in Post #1. Keep the EVO Sierra installation virgin and preform all the Sierra updates on the EVO and make a new HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_x.kext once RehabMan has updated his patch-nvme-master with the 10.12.x capability.

Good luck! :thumbup:

Hey I followed your build guide to build a similar PC but I can't get the audio to work for the life of me on the Asus VIII Gene board. I selected the 1150 and 100 series audio in Mulitbeast but nothing. What do I need to do to get it to work?
 
Check your Sound Preference pane. If it shows no Output methods, then re-run MultiBeast v9.0.1 again, just selecting the two audio configurations you mentioned above.

I've done it about 4 times and restarted the computer and no audio. I checked the output devices and still nothing.
 
Anyone having trouble with usb3.0 devices on Sierra? Couldn't get my USB 3 external hdd to work. No problem with USB 2 devices. Rolled back to El Capitan backup for now

See toleda's guide Sierra Desktop/Realtek AppleHDA Audio. You've tried "A", now try "B". Good luck!:thumbup:
 
I found the equivalent for all the BIOS settings in an MSI Motherboard, my only issue is that there is no setting for me to disable IOAPIC 24-119 entries, is there a solution for this?

Depending upon your motherboard...I read a post a while ago where the poster had a Gigabyte Z170 who said the IOAPIC 24-119 wasn't necessary any more. You may not need it, either. Go for it! Good luck and let us know the result. :thumbup:
