I have a GA-Z170X-UD5 non TH as well and first thing I did was flash the BIOS (to F21 before I know to check this site) and then started the Hack build. I can't boot to Mac Sierra (on Western Digital HD 7200 RPM - following the Install Sierra with UniBeast and MultiBeast per this site) but if I boot using the Clover from the USB installer I can get to the Mac desktop. I have read in some other places that once you update the BIOS beyond F5 or F8 it is a brick, is this not the case now? Also no .mkv or .mov or .3gp video files play in Quicktime or VLC and no audio from the rear phono jack. When I connect my Windows 10 HD to the hardware everything works perfect.
My machine specs: (NOTE NO INVIDIA Graphics card - I will have a GTX770 4Gb next week - so I am relying on the HD530 built in - and have tried the MultiBeast with and without HD530 - no change)
I also did - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ter-giga-bios-f20-update.208315/#post-1379268 - no change same issue. I also made sure that the change was done in the MultiBeast so it would save on reboot.
MB – GAZ170X-UD5 V1.0 – not the TH version
Ram – Kingston HyperXFury 16 GB – 2666 MHz
Pwr – 600W Thermaltake – soon to change out to a 1000w
CPU – 6700K 4.0 GHz
CPU Cooler – Cooler Master RR-212X-20PM-R1
CPU Thermal compound – Innovation Cooling ICD24 Diamond Based 24 Carat Paste
HD – 1 TB Western Digital Black 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache

When I try and boot from the non USB clover, I get this and never get to the login:
 
Updated to 10.12.3 and bumped up the ram from 16gb to 32gb today :lol::thumbup:

I am not sure why it's showing up as 0 MHz. I am using 2666 MHz ram, but it shows up as 2400 MHz on my Hackintosh.
 
I have the same system config and every thing is fine just the graphic card is not been detected to the capacity it shows 0mb
Can you help me out here some way.

Thanking you in advance.

Actually sunnyj, your Geekbench system information shows up the same as his does, 0 MHz, although it does show up as 2400 in system configuration. Look back at your initial posting. I ran Geekbench today as well, and it shows up the same thing. My Geekbench score is still not as good as yours for some reason, about 16k. Any other suggestions?
I updated with this configuration to 10.12.4 today, by the way, and everything works fine. Thanks again.
 
From the get go my hackintosh restarts on it's own under moderate to heavy load. After the restart all apps that were open prior load again automatically. This happened when I had 16gb and now 32GB.

Is there a way for me to find out what's causing these phantom restarts?
 
Same components besides a GTX960. Have you updated to 10.12.5 sir?
