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:
