Has anyone come across an updated patched kext for the NECRenesas USB3.0 chip on the Gigabyte X58A boards?

Do you have a link? Or can post config.plist patch so I can try it?Nope. I'm using Zenith432's patches for AppleUSBXHCI (via Clover config.plist) on my DH67BL which has the NEC/Renasas USB3 chipset. It works great on 10.10.
But in 10.10 everything is different, so new patches are required. I looked into it briefly... non-trivial. And I'm not sure it is worth it given the age of the board.
I'm thinking lack of USB3 might be the final straw to push me to update my desktop...

Thanks.The patches won't work with 10.11. They'll only work for 10.10.
The patches are documented here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/150-patched-appleusbxhci/
The patches I'm using with my board are in the config.plist here: https://github.com/RehabMan/Intel-DH67XX-DSDT-Patch
GB, not being a smart a$$ but maybe it's time for another x99 board... Luck with it.
If I can ever get the X99 booting with Clover I plan to migrate to it and sell the X58A or relegate it to the closet with the spare parts/parts boxes.
Thanks.
Since I have no Intel USB3 controller, do I need the "Disable Intel USB3 controller check" as well was the "Disable XHCI 1.0 check" or would it make any difference to put it in anyway"

The board works fine in Legacy Mode for both Windows 10 and OS X. Just seems a shame I can't get it working with EFI boot and Clover. Chimera does well on Yos, but need Clover for El Cap, and Clover just does not want to work. Either no boot or it boots, but then no GPU - complete signal loss to the display. I will keep plugging away at it as I have time.GB, not being a smart a$$ but maybe it's time for another x99 board... Luck with it.
