Thanks for a great post.
Just curious, you do get USB 3.0 working out of the box, right ?

@sinclairfr, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Did you upgrade to high Sierra ?

Thanks for the post, it was helpful when I finally updated from Mavericks to Sierra. Does your bluetooth work? Mine stopped working after the update.

PS. This Guide is old please refer to the High Sierra for updates

@sinclairfr MultiBeast "7/8/9 Series USB Support" suppose to fix USB 2 and 3 (this MOBO is a Series 8」
