I wanted to post the process that helped make this build successful for installing OSX Yosemite.
I followed the standard Tonymacx86 guides - the only changes I needed were with the boot switches.
To install OS X via the Unibeast USB I had to use the
boot switches. If I didn't, I'd end up with a panic and have to reboot the computer.
After OS X installation but before Multibeast tools were installed I set
but that probably wasn't necessary.
I used all defaults - Easybeast etc... The audio codec for this board is ALC892. I also added the recommended 1080p mode and hibernate desktop. I set the computer as a Mac Pro 6,1 - I don't know if that's the best definition but it works. [I might rerun this whole process and define it as an iMac but I'm hesitant to mess with something that works].
I had a boot0 error but that was fixed using the instructions here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/65706-boot0-error-official-guide.html
Specifically, all I did was the following:
My ethernet isn't working in OS X but I'm never planning on using it since I purchased the excellent TP-Link adapter.
Let me know if you have any questions. The process was quite smooth. I also installed Windows 8.1 on a separate hard drive (installed OS X first then Windows - I reran Multibeast after installing Windows just to make sure I could choose to boot either drive).
I haven't done benchmarking yet but I've had no problems with the build.
My display is connected via DisplayPort.
