Worked well for me! Gigabyte GA-Z97X Gaming 7 mobo!
However, cold boots and reboots are severely lacking in speed. Takes a solid minute to POST to the Clover loading screen for some reason now. Before I ran this fix, I was experimenting with the BIOS USB settings trying to see if that would resolve it, and I found that the lag comes from enabling "EHCI Hand-Off". I also experimented with turning "XHCI Mode" to "Enabled" instead of "Auto" or "Smart Auto" and that too would cause slow boot times. Once I get the chance I think I'll try disabling the "EHCI Hand-off" again and see if it all still works properly.
FWIW, I'm running a Plugable 7-port 60w powered USB 3.0 hub off of one of the USB 3.0 jacks on the back of the mobo, and then I have 3 USB 3.0 HDD's plugged into the hub, as well as my monitor's USB 2.0 hub plugged into that hub, with a MS Xbox 360 wireless adapter and Logitech C920 webcam plugged into it...
EDIT: I went ahead and disabled "EHCI Hand-off" and all appears to be working fine, and I got my normal POST/reboot times back as well. Huzzah!
