[SUCCESS] ASRock Z97m Pro4, i5 4460, Gigabyte GTX 760

[Neured]

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

-x -v -no-zp

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

Mode=1920x1080x32

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:

dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2

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.

Do you still have this build? And if, have you updated to macOS Sierra 10.13.4?

You should be able to run macOS High Sierra on the hardware in your profile.
