Comments

Running 10.12.6 Can't go higher than that.

Installation Notes:

My BIOS settings:

1) AHCI on
2) Virtualization disabled.
3) Serial port disabled
4) HPET in 64 bit mode
5) Quickboot disabled

GT710 - natively supported - do NOT use Inject Nvidia. This option breaks it.

Summary

What Works:

Ethernet - I installed RTL8111D kext with Kext utility to get my onboard ethernet working. (can't do 2.2.2 version)
I used the VoodooHD universal audio driver installed with the latest Multibeast.

What Does Not Work:

Onboard Graphics.

Update

Getting audio to work is very tricky. Clover ALC 130 patch does not recognize any audio codec.

I had CMOS reset checksum error when shutting down/restart. Running MultiBeast - Yosemite 7.5.0 AppleRTC patch for CMOS reset solved the issue.

I successfully reinstalled using Unibeast and Multibeast. I changed the SMBIOS to Mac Pro 5.1 as I had very low Geekbench scores (around 900 single core and 2300 multi core) with iMac 14,2.

I changed the power supply to EVGA B3 model:

Hey szabolcs, can you please give me the zip of your EFI foloder? I have exactly the same Motherboard, processor, GT 780 graphics card and 240GB SSD card. My keyboard and mouse don't work when I get into the Clover Installation where I need to click on the drive to install. Can you also please mention the Seirra version 10.12.6? that you used to install Mac?

Hi, Unfortunately I am not at home right now so I don't have access to my Hackintosh. Check that you are using USB keyboard and mouse as PS/2 is not supported. Good luck!

OK, I have successfully installed OS Sierra 10.6.3. Sleep/boot/internet everything seems working smoothly. Could not make Audio work and the video on youtube or video freezes if I fast forward by dragging to different timeline. Still needs to explore more. Will keep updated. However, any helps regarding above two issues are highly appreciated.
 
The video is working fine on Google Chrome, so no issue.

Only issue with audio. The device is not showing in System Preferences/Sound/Output/
 
Hello szabolcs.bozsingexcuse me, do you have any problems with wake up restart ? If so how can you solve it?
