Hi. Nice guide. I'm a bit confused about the audio. I noticed you didn't install the driver with your multibeast settings. Did you do that part later? And so your 898 is working?

Thanks!

Yeah I realized the sound wasn't working without the ALC898, I was using a USB mixer for sound so I didnt realize the sound wasn't working.

FRESH INSTALL ONLY

Really important otherwise you'll get KP after KP
Load Optimised Settings
Set the XMP memory to Profile1
Disabled Wake on LAN
Enabled EHCI Hand-off
Set xHCI mode from Smart Auto to Auto (XHCI Hand-off was already enabled)

1 Boot into installer (from USB)
Flags: maxmem=4096 nv_disable=1 npci=0x3000

If you get "no Essentials.pkg" file error. Use flags: maxmem=4096 nv_disable=1 npci=0x3000 -no-zp

If you get a KP at anytime during this boot into installer phase. Turn off your computer then back on again. I don't know why but it works.


2 Boot into Yosemite (boot from USB first)
Flags: maxmem=4096 nv_disable=1

3 Run Multibeast 7.0

Yeah everything looks good, I just switched my system to the clover build and everything is working great so far haven't had a lot of time to test but I will on Thursday but everything looks good only diff being graphic cards.

I am having a strange issue and I'm not sure what would cause it, graphics issue, flash issue, but when I load up a video for the first time like on YouTube or whatever it shows static and then if I refresh the page it works fine and if I switch videos it still works great, not sure if someone with my specs could test this but this is the only thing that I have come across with both Chameleon and Clover.

Good guide btw ihal9001
