- Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition
- G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB DDR4-2400Mhz
- Gigabyte GV-N750OC-2GI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 2GB videokaart
- Fractal Design Silent R2 80mm
- Noctua NH-U12S hardwarekoeling
- Cooltek Coolcube Maxi

- Corsair CS550M

I also get stuck at the apple logo with an empty loading bar!

Thank you for your response. And yes I did! Just double checked just now

Quick questions after reading following thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/basics/116220-do-i-need-graphicsenabler-injection-not.html:
1. Does my grapic card need Graphic card GTX 750 need GraphicsEnabler=No or Yes
2. Does my motherboard Ga-x99m gaming 5 need PCIRootUID=1

In verbose mode(-v) I interestingly see a hangout/freeze at PCI configuration begin

--------------------update: 5:50 PM: have tried many boot flags combinations fron this thread and general forum search.------------------------

Yosemite and 5960x kill me.

1. Anyway I can use mavericks for now and run it stable instead of yosemite?
2. I have all my RAM inserted in my motherboard. Running an -s bootflag tells me something new, namely:

.............." [ PCI configuration begin ]
RTC: Only single RAM bank (128 bytes)"...................

Is it flirting with me to use just one RAM bank/module?

GraphicsEnabler=No

2. Does my motherboard Ga-x99m gaming 5 need PCIRootUID=1

Normally for NVIDIA Cards requires PCIRootUID=1

It is known issue with Haswell-E Processor as it have no support on OS X till now.

Below are steps you have to follow for installing,

1. Create bootable USB with Unibeast
2. Patch the kernel
3. Delete all the kexts from /Volumes/<USB>/Extra/
4. Delete AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext from Volumes/<USB>/System/Library/Extensions/
5. Download the attached kext.zip file
6. Copy the downloaded kexts files to /Volumes/<USB>/System/Library/Extensions/
7. Add the flag dart=0 -v -f to org.chameleon.boot.plist file
Eg: <key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1 dart=0 -f -v</string>
8. Boot from USB with "npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000"/Also try along with PCIRootUID=1, complete the installation.
9. Boot again into installer.
8. Copy the patched kernel from USB to HDD

cp -R /Volumes/[B]<Your USB Name>[/B]/System/Library/Kernels/kernel /Volumes/[B]<Your OS X Partition Name>[/B]/System/Library/Kernels/kernel

9. Reboot and boot into OS X Partition with the help of USB.
10. Complete the remaining process of installation.
11. Run Multibeast with proper options selected.

I've successfully installed on
ASUS X99 Rampage V Extreme 0802 BIOS
5960X stock speed
32GB 2800 GSkill 4x8GB
Nvidia GeForce TitanX
Yosemite 10.10.3

using all the steps and flags to boot
-v -f npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 debug=0x14e nv_disable=1

after booting using USB to HDD (Samsung 840 Pro 512) I've installed Nvidia web driver 346.01.0.2f02

However - I don't have sound through DisplayPort on my Dell 5K UP2715K
HighDPI is not enabled so I have slightly blurred 2560x1440
My MacPro profile is not set (did not run Multibeast yet)

Before installation of Multibeast, my machine would work with nvidia web driver, now I get black screen (no signal, display goes to stand by).

I've tried http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/161439-gtx-970-black-screen-after-nvidia-346-01-02f01-2.html but that did not help.

Yes i know this, but i am not sure on how to properly insert it in the bootlist file.
Thats why i wanted to see a picture, or a copy paste of your entire code.
I dont know how to write and where.

<key> yaddayadda <key>
<yes> etc etc??

Hi. Have you got sound working on your x99-e WS? Thanks

THANK YOU!
After so many attempts I GOT IT!!!!
My board is Asus X99-Deluxe with the 5960X processor.
After so many attempts (and a couple at this one) I decided one more try...just one more.

What I did differently this time was follow this guide 100.00% and amazing...follow directions and you will arrive!

So, another BIG THANK YOU.

You made a very happy man in Malaysia this afternoon...very very happy.


Must add that I am using an nvidia GeForce GTX760

Anyone with a Geekbench score on this build?

 

[Bradish]
