Hey Shilohh!
First off, I want to thank you for this amazing guide you wrote and for answering people's questions and keeping the feed alive all this time. It's great to have ongoing support and a community around.
I went with a very similar build to Eric's. I've got a RIVBE, 2 GTX 770 4GB EVGA, 64GB of Ram (2 monitors (display port and dvi) running on 10.10.1 with CUDA working(os x drivers). I used the ssdt you made for misteravid (v5) to get both cards working.
Even though that was my first build, I had no specific difficulty getting the machine to boot OS X. I noticed something though that could have been a tiny bit clearer in your guide for first-timers like me. At no point you spoke about injecting the nvidia drivers through the config.plist. When I wasn't booting with nv_disable=1, I would constantly boot to black screens. It took me hours before I understood that I had to inject the drivers.
Now, for me, the difficult tasks begin.
Like Poine, HWsensors only give me hard drive temps. I tried removing fakesmc kext before installing but that only crashed my machine. Went back to where I was before, meaning nowhere and with no clue.
Im waiting on figuring that one out before I can start OCing the CPU and ram. I'm also hoping you'll eventually make a guide on OCing, as I don't know much about overclocking and hope not to eff it up.
Once that is done, I will integrate speedstep.
One major annoyance in my build is the fact that sleep doesn't ever wake up. Actually it seems to wake up, as I can hear the fans but the displays don't turn back on. I've been struggling on this one and any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to switch bios (one is 0603, the other one is the latest (0801)) with no success. I changed many parameters in the bios to see if that would do anything. As I intend to really make it my everyday workstation, I really would love for the machine to seemlessly hibernate.
I was was also wondering why the audio out on the case panel doesn't work, if that was only me or everybody with the ACL 1150. Anyway, that one is really no big deal, just wondering.
Cheers and thanks againfor having taken the time to share what you know!
