I am using:
GA-Z77X-UD5H V 1.0 F7 Bios, CPU i7 2600K, MSI R6870 (HDI 6870), 16GB Ram, Black Caviar SATA III 1To in MBR for Osx (dual boot with win7 x64 on an other disk)
With Bios at default values, this mobo can run Lion 10.7.4 without any modification (only adding FakeSMC.kext and Chimera to start) no need of exotic kext or patch. In particular, management of SandyBridge CPU is working out of the box.
If you install the new kernel and kext for Ivybridge (BridgeHelper 5.0), you get all the specific stuffs working (USB3, and front USB2...), in addition you need to add the kext for network (Atheros), fix the sound with Multibeast (ALC 898) and may need some specific tricks to get QE/CI (MSI R6870 is working of the box nothing to fix).
It is working with or without cache enabled (works with no boot.plist at all).
It never has been so simple. I don't understand the problem.
