Step 1: Preparing USB OSX Installer

Step 2: OSX Installation proper
At the part of booting the OSX installer on the USB drive onto the Gigabyte motherboard use these parameters:
UseKextCache=Yes npci=0x3000 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No -f
Step 3: Post OSX installation
Following back the instructions on the actual installation on the link on step 1, install OSX. After installation and upon reboot, boot back on the USB and choose the SSD where OSX was installed with the same parameters that was used on Step 2.
Once on the OSX desktop, install VoodooTSCSync.kext using Kext Helper
Run Multibeast. Choose EasyBeast Installation. Select also the ff:

Once done, shutdown the computer, remove the USB flashdrive, power up the PC and boot on the SSD.
