My GA-Z77X-UP5TH install of El Capitan 10.11.4 with Clover (Multibeast method) seems stable:
My system drive is 120 GB SSD. Also have two other internal Western Digital hard drives. One has my user files and a partition for a carbon copy of my system drive. The other is a Time Machine drive.
BIOS has default settings plus:
M.I.T./Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) - Profile1
M.I.T./Adv. Freq./Adv CPU/ Internal CPU PLL Overvoltage: Disabled (USB mouse/keyboard problem fix)
Bios Features/Vt-d - Disabled (doesn’t exist on my BIOS version)Power Management/ Wake on LAN - Disabled
Multibeast settings:

To stop Photoshop CC from crashing:
Un-tick OpenCL render. In PS, go to Preferences/Performance. Click "Advanced" on the right. Un-select OpenCL.
To solve Long Sleep crash, paste this into Terminal to disable standby:
sudo pmset -a standby 0 && sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0?
Hi Piso, were you able to successfully install from USB boot drive and reboot into fresh El Capitan install? Or did you have to perform the convoluted workaround from the original post?
I have the same mobo and cpu as you but with gtx 780 and I can successfully install but it hangs at reboot using USB drive. I'm on F12 BIOS like the OP. I'm wondering if downgrading to F11 (if it's even possible) would solve my problem. I've tried several bootflags without success.
Any input from anyone is appreciated. Thanks.
