Here's my guide for the Gigabyte H61M-USB3-B3 [F5] running 10.10.0 - just got it working! It's successfully run each os since 10.6 but it's always a bit tricky and it's not a popular board so there's not a lot of info out there - trying to pay it forward.
[See my signature for specs, this is my HackServe machine].
I tried to just update over my existing install but as ever, ran into issues so I just wiped the drive and started again [I have a clone, it's fine].
-Boot with F12 and select unibeast USB [5.0.1, it appears in the boot menu as USB-HDD].
-At chameleon screen boot with flags: -v GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=1
-Run through installer
-Restart
-F12 again and boot into new Yosemite install, using flags: -v GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=1
-Go through the setup menus - I don't bother with icloud etc at this point, just use a generic computer name like test1, will explain in a bit...
-Run multibeast as follows:

The DSDT adds some of them, but not all. DSDT is from the DSDT database on this site.
-Reboot without unibeast, shouldn't need any boot flags at this point.
-Go to system preferences, Sound, and select Internal Speakers from the Output options. ["Play feedback when volume is changed" - ie. the volume blips - on the Sound Effects Tab is now disabled by default, took some time banging my head against the wall thinking I had no audio before the penny dropped!]
-I like to clone at this point - I have a small drive partition called CleanClone, that I never clone to again after this point - that way I can always get back to a blank working system without having to reinstall everything.
-At this point, Reboot for luck.
-Then I used migration assistant to transfer apps and documents [but not system preferences] from my Mavericks clone drive. I know people have had bad experiences with migration assistant but I've used it the last few OS updates on this machine and never had a problem. I transfer my old user, rather than merging.
-Once that's done, boot into the old user, set up iCloud etc, and then delete the temporary user.
-A bit of niggling stuff about file ownership crops up, but I just Get Info on each drive, and select the ignore ownership checkbox.
-A couple of services had to be reinstalled, VNC, Java, CrushFTP [I use this machine as a server] but otherwise - it's back to business!
Hope someone finds this useful - if nothing else I know I will next time I upgrade!
