Freak's GA-X99M-GAMING 5 mATX Build - I7 5930K - GTX 970 - Clover

El Cap 10.11.4 stable - Clover

Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5
Intel i7 [email protected]
Corsair Dominator Platinum 2666Mhz CL15 4X8GB
Nvidia Titan X
Samsung 850 EVO SSD 1TB - OS X
Intel 750 SSD NVMe PCIe 400GB - Windows 10
Dell UP3216Q

Everything is working, the only problem is I can't install El Cap on Intel 750 and make it bootable. I tried fresh install, tried CCC, just doesn't work.

Did you use the NVMe driver/kext?

Sweet! Did you try the Intel 750 SSD in the other PCI-e slot?

Now the 750 is installed in the last slot, the one at the bottom. Is the only way I could make it work. With the SSD installed in the third slot(like in the pics above), nothing was working! Couldn't install, couldn't boot Clover USB, couldn't boot El Cap after install, nothing at all.

I've had problems with multiple cards in the middle slot, the bottom one has worked fine with all. Have your Blackmagic scores changed?

 

[ionut.manole81]

The scores didn't change. One is for 850 EVO, and the other one(the bigger) for Intel 750. 750 has got Win 10 installed on it.



I see you've got an XP941, AHCI probably. Did you install OS on it? Is it bootable?
In 2 weeks time I'll try to upgrade to Asus X99M-WS, and maybe buy a SM951 AHCI. I wonder if they will work for 10.11.4?
GA-X99M-Gaming 5 is a great board for Hackintosh, but is not very stable in OC.

Yep I installed to and boot the XP941 with no issue, it also works fine in a EVGA X99 Micro2. I assume any AHCI m.2 will work. I looked at the Asus board but decided if I was going to be limited to Sata Express 10Gb/s I might as well stay with the Gigabyte. My OC on the Gigabyte was pretty stable until the F21b/c bios.

Hi Ionut! Why not using samsung sm951 ssd? It is AHCI, same performance and it is bootable! I's my system disk so the speed is not at max.

Why would the drive be slower because it's the system disk?
