SSD - 950 Pro now works for me perfectly! The only two weird issues that remain for me is this odd flickering with HD530 graphics that others have reported. I've been surprised that people expect this issue to be resolved with the public release of Sierra on the 20th, isn't this Gold Master supposed to be all but final? I can't see them resolving graphics at the last second.

GPU - I tried to use a GTX 950 with this build but for some reason when I install the Sierra Nvidia graphics and restart, my monitor goes to power down after the Clover boot screen. This after I changed the config.plist to reflect the nvda_drv=1 that i used in El Capitan. If I boot off of my clover USB, it boots, but the graphics are at 1024x768 no matter what I do. Odd.

Hi all

Had a working el cap install so all bios settings still ok - even got NVMe drive recognised by Sierra gm boot usb to clover - but only boots to Apple logo with progress bar 3/4 way across?

Screen shot attached from verbose. Last line going on about "Apple LMUController start error could not get SMC Provider" ? Any help really appreciated. Thanks
(Sorry will add screen shot shortly on iPad and can't attach photo!)

Strangely, since doing a clean install of Sierra GM, I have a working iMessage around 50% of each restart. I have not done any iMessage hacks. See previous posts for my basic install.

Hi, my specs are on my profile.
I initially tried El Capitan with the Unibeast method but the installer refused to boot the installer after selecting the OS in Clover, the Apple logo came up for about 15/20 seconds with no progress bar and then rebooted the entire PC.
So I thought I'd try Sierra since it'd be more likely to support Skylake. So I followed the guide on this website and got the USB Installer. But when I boot from it and select the drive from Clover I get the same issue.
I tried several boot arguements such as -v, -x and nv_disable = 1. I also went as far as removing my 650 Ti BOOST and using the i5's integrated graphics. All of this wiith no progress/change.
In verbose mode (-v) it loads 2 or 3 lines of text, then gets to the "++++++++++++++++++++++" line, waits a few seconds and reboots the PC.
I tried modifying the SMBIOS in the config.plist file to both MacPro3,1 and iMac17,1 (Skylake).
What can I do? Please help!
