Yes everything works, except there are some hoops to get the Wifi card I have working. If you have the same card I'd wait a few weeks for a guide to show up here (maybe I'll write one, using the guide on InsanelyMac as a base).

There is also an issue with the integrated HD 530 having artifact in the top left corner. It's accelerated out of the box without a patch however. Not an issue if you have PCI graphics card of course.

Thanks! I have the same Wifi card so I guess i'll wait. I'm using the integrated HD530 as well.
 
For future reference, here are the patches I needed in El Capitan and Sierra to get the BCM 94352Z card working.

  • In Devices menu, copy and paste into the wifi box: 0x43BA14E4
  • In kexts to patch you can add the airport patches and hot spot handoff (these are the same as for El Capitan)

Thank you! This worked beautifully though now I have lost sound---there is no audio device recognized. I tried changing to all of the known ports. Also tried using kextbeast to reinfect appleALC and also reinstall ALC1150 and 100 series with Multi Beast. None of those steps worked.
 
I have audio working so I don't think that ruined it. My recommendation is so make you have a fresh AppleHDA (see the toleda guide) and start again with AppleALC. Basically the AppleALC is an alternative to the Multibeast/toleda method done by MultiBeast. To reset you need to reinstall a fresh copy of AppleHDA.

I found patching to be messy and it can be avoided with AppleALC kext. On this version Inject 1 works (previously 7 did). Also you need the DSDT patch in clover to change HDAS to HDEF (100 series patch in Multi Beast).
 
Thanks to all contributors. I am able to run El Cap 11.6 version on this board with I5-6600K. Anyone able to run 4K monitor resolution with on board HD530 graphics?
 
I tried the patch from the above link. It did not work after the first few reboots, i do not know what I did, but after a while the 4K started working. The only think I did differently the last time was to add inject EDID in graphics of clover, maybe that was the missing link.

As a side question: The bluetooth in system preference says its active, but do not have any device to test it. Any way I can test this. I tried an iphone 4s, but no luck getting it to connect.

Not really sure what your problem is. For El Capitan you need to inject the proper ig-platform-id and inject Intel. For some resolutions over HDMI you need to install a Pixel Clock patch. For Sierra you do not need to inject anything, and there is a new pixel clock patch. See https://github.com/Floris497/mac-pixel-clock-patch-V2.
 
So I'm going to update this guide for Sierra when the new NVIDIA drivers are released. For anyone watching this thread, are there any tips or trips for the new OS that you want to add or recommend?
