Hey Folks.
I know there are several guides for configs like this, but I am not able to build a "fully" working system with my skills.
ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS (latest BIOS)
2x Intel Xeon E5-2696V2
128GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
After dealing with a lot of BIOS configurations, I was able to install a fresh version of Sierra with a regualr Unibeast USB. But I still have problems with an "Couldn't allocate runtime area" error from time to time.
I tested several versions of OsxAptioFix (OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi, OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi) with different CsrActiveConfig values. But this is OK, after some rebooting it works.
Bootargs: -v dart=0 npci=0x2000
Right now there is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 from an old MacPro installed (has to be on PCIe Slot1..? Hab problems on Slot5). But I have the same problem (low resolution, laggi GUI) with other cards (Titan Black, 680).
On my fresh Sierra installation there are some problems, even after the usage of Multibeast (checked it with the specs from ASUS):
Maybe I need spacial DSDT or SSDT files, to get full support of RAM and CPU features? I am completely new on this. And maybe my BIOS settings are not optimized?
I think most of the systems here are working with 10.11. Maybe this is the problem?
Is there a way to create some custom files that I need? I could install Windows 7 if needed. Sierra is working with basic settings.
Any Ideas on that? Thanks a lot!

- only one CPU is recognized (or shown?)
- only 64GB of RAM are recognized (or shown?)
- I can't use NVIDIA webdrivers ("Unable to open NVIDIA Driver Manager. Please try again or re-install the NVIDIA Web Driver package from the NVIDIA website.")
