Did you went trough all with the gaphiccard installed in your mac? or did you eject it for the first part ? greets
 
I have had so many problem with this mobo with Yosemite it never works 100%, think I will give this guide a go at the weekend!

Thanks for your guide! I followed it and got El Capitan working (almost =) ). I have GA-Z97X-UD3H + i7-4790k + GeForce GTX 460. Although BIOS settings that you described wasn't enough to do that successfully, so I had to load my previously saved settings profile that I used for Yosemite.
For some reason I have to set the Inject Nvidia flag manually in clover boot settings every time I reboot (though I set that with clover configurator).
One more thing that disturbs me is that the sound card switches off when when idle for 3-5 seconds and hum appears in the speakers (it switches on the next time it has to make a sound) =( Is there a way to fix that?

UPD: fixed Nvidia inject flag (was my mistake).
 
I have the same basic hardware you're using, Following the guide I can get a bootable El Capitan but gt740 isn't recognized, i've tried webdrivers twice and end up with a system that hangs late in the boot process, never get a desktop again, any ideas what i should try?

Can you elaborate on GT740 isn't recognized? It should be supported out of the box, no Web drivers needed.
