The Build
I should of got a 500w+ power supply instead of the EVGA 430 watt PSU. I am using an existing LED TV w/ HDMI input as my monitor. I'm also sing my spare 256GB SSD from my Mid 2012 Retina MBP with an adapter to SATA (Sourcingbay 2012 MacBook Air SSD To SATA Adapter For Apple MacBook Air MID/Pro).
Installation
First MultiBeast Run
Quick Start -> UEFI Boot Mode
Drivers -> Audio -> Realtek ALCxxx -> 100 Series Audio
Drivers -> Misc -> FakeSMC v6.18-313… (pre-selected)
Drivers -> Misc -> FakeSMC Plugins v6.18-313…
Drivers -> Misc -> FakeSMC HWMonitor Application v6.18-313…
Drivers -> Network -> Realtek -> RealtekRTL8111 v2.2.1
Drivers -> USB -> Increase Max Port Limit (based on recommendations in the USB Fixes thread)
Bootloaders -> Clover v2.3k r3423 UEFI Boot Mode (pre-selected)
Customize -> Graphics Configuration -> Intel HD 530
Customize -> System Definitions -> iMac -> iMac 17,1 (as recommended in this thread: “If using integrated graphics, select iMac/iMac17,1. At present, this is the only Apple model with a Skylake chip.”)
Second MultiBeast Run
Drivers -> Audio -> Realtek ALCxxx -> ALC887/888b
Drivers -> Audio -> Realtek ALCxxx -> Optional HD 3000/HD 4000/ HD 530 HDMI Audio
So far so good, no HDMI Audio though. Currently just using the read 3.5mm Jack.
After running MultiBeast, the only thing I noticed so far was my RAM was only showing as 4gb / 4gb = 8gb instead of 16gb. After some searching, I re made a UniBeast USB, configured the SMBIOS in Clover Config and added them manually. Registers now
UPDATE** Sleep/wake was broken when using Mechanical HDD, the Apple SSD is the only thing I changed and it now somehow works..?
