[SUCCESS] Asus B85M-G, i5 4440, GTX 960 El Capitan Install
Installed El Capitan on my system yesterday. Went off way too smoothly for my expectations. Heck, this system wasnt even built for installing Mac, or taking Mac compatible HW in mind.
Specs
Asus B85M-G
Intel Core i5-4440
2x 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury
256GB Samsung 830 + 1TB Seagate SV35
MSI GTX 960
Antec VP500 PSU
Process
1. Created El Capitan boot drive with Unibeast off a 2011 MBP
2. BIOS Settings used: VT-D disabled (not sure if needed with dart=0), Legacy+UEFI (switched to UEFI post install, works fine)
3. Boot up the pen drive, using flag nv_disable=1
4. Install as usual, no hiccups there, no extra flags or config needed.
5. Multibeast Options: UEFI Boot, Realtek ALC887/888b, Realtek RTL8111, FakeSMC, iMac 14,2.
6. Install Web Driver off Nvidia site. Reboot with nvda_drv=1.
At this point, everything seemed to be working just fine, UEFI boot, GPU acceleration. However, sound didnt work, neither onboard or HDMI. After a lot of searching, I went with the easy route and tried VoodooHDA package I found on the forums.
And voila, both HDMI audio and normal sound works fine now.
Audio works after waking from sleep too. There is a static noise in the headphones. Reducing Input gain on Voodoo fixes that, then set it to auto start on login.
The only niggle I have is that the PC wakes up within a few secs of sleep if I have my bluetooth dongle connected. Nothing major. My dongle is a el-cheapo model costing around 1$ off ebay, and it worked natively on OSX.
With Clover timeout set to 0, my new Hackintosh boots up under 15 secs cold, runs like a dream. GPU acceleration in Adobe Premiere and After Effects seems to work fine, so do games like GRID 2 off steam. What more could you want ?
