Yes it works , there is a few more steps that you have to make but it works. Te audio still not working for me
I ran multibeast and copied that last plist over, went in and checked dell smbios and got a KP. Saw that you uploaded your EFI so I copied that over, now I get to clover but no option to install mac os. Are there certain folders that I just need to copy over?

Any updates on this one if this has been solved? I have a 7040 with an i7 6700. Just want to know what will be the bios setting/s that needed to set on this one since it does not have some of the settings found on other motherboards.
