What works:
- Startup
- Shutdown
- Sleep
- Wake from Sleep (via USB)
- USB 2.0 ports
- USB 3.0 ports and external drives
- USB 2.0 ports on Apple LED Display
- Apple LED monitor via mini-Displayport on N760 ITX
- iMessage
- FaceTime
- Bluetooth (using the GMYLE adaptor - note that Bluetooth does not work in the BIOS & Clover boot menus)
- Bluetooth wake from sleep
- Wifi (TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 N900 is detected as a Airport)
- Airdrop (only when using the ethernet connection...)
- Continuity
- Handoff (SMS receiving and sending, answering and making calls)
Components:
- Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell Processor
- Gigabyte Z87MX-D3H Socket 1150 Micro ATX Motherboard
- Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
- GMYLE (TM) Micro USB Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Dual Mode w/ Low Energy Technology Wireless Adapter (Broadcom BCM20702 chipset)
- TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 N900 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter
- MSI N760 2GD5 Overclocked ITX PCIe Graphics Card
Preliminaries:
- Ensure that the Z87MX-D3H has the latest F7 BIOS as available from Gigabyte:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4490#bios - Set XMP to no in the BIOS for installation. Can be set back to 'profile1' after installation.
- Ensure you have selected the proper profile for your machine and you have created a unique serial for your machine as per STEP 3 of the following post by jay monkey:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/110471-how-fix-imessage.html#post671803 - If you have a running version of Mac OS on a real Mac that belongs to you and you never intend to use again then you can inject the ROM and MLB. (DO NOT use a ROM and MLB from someone else's Mac. This will result in a blocked Apple account - yours and theirs - as well as the ROM and MLB combination...). Alternatively (and recommend) a MLB should be generated as per the iMessage thread instructions.
- Download Clover Configurator
Installation:
- Follow the Yosemite Clover guide from tonymacx86:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html - At step 20 use the following config.plist with your own ROM, MLB and profile and serial information

Notes:
- You should not need to set "Inject Nvidia" or "Inject Intel" options under Graphics. I have had to set my VRAM value and "LoadVBios" however ideally this should not be required.
- If you have trouble accessing the Apple Store ensure you have "your ethernet kext " under /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/
- Make sure to check the boot log at /EFI/CLOVER/misc/debug.log (requires the "Log" option to be set)
