[GUIDE][SUCCESS!] Asus H97i-Plus/i-5 4960K /GTX 750 TI
*Notice: as for june 26 2016 i re-installed this system today and used multibeast and a bit of different approach . so i hope this help.
i also tried my own first method but for some reason it didn't work and i'm sorry if it didn't work for whoever tried it.
Good Luck.
first, sorry for my grammar.
but if your mind sharp as you might think then,
you'll over come my grammar issues.
Success with:installing El Capitan 10.11.5
Asus H97i-Plus mother board
i-5 4960K 3.5 processor (devil Canyon)
Giga -Byte GTX 750 TI - 2gigs
Razer Kraken 7.1/
1.download el capitan from app store.
2.partition your 8 gigs USB. (make sure its connected to USB 2.0 port)
3.download unibeast 6 and open it.(next, next, next, next, agree).
4.select USB >El Capitan...duh> Select UEFI Boot mode> don't select any of the Gpu's options>click Continue, enter your root password and install !.
this will take about 30-40 minutes, so at this spare time format a 2nd USB the same as you did with the 1st and put all the following downloaded files in it. >>>>
5. download: (put those 3 download on the 2nd USB):
please notice that iam installing osx ec 10.11.5 therefor the nvidia driver is the matching version. if you gonna install any earlier version of el capitan, download the correct nvidia driver for that spesific edition.
Multibeast 8.2.3:
MultiBeast - El Capitan 8.2.3
download clover configure vibrant!

NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for OS X 10.11.5 (346.03.10)
6. shut down your computer when the unibeast and the files are on both USB drives.
7.now - make sure you have USB keyboard or wireless. PS/2 will be a problem at first.
8. turn on the computer and enter bios using F2 or Del,
and click advanced mode at the bottom right corner(F7).
9.choose the tab Boot>secure boot> Os Type> select Other Os !.
10. now select the tab Advanced>PCH Storage Configuration>SATA mode selection> AHCI.
11.press F10 to save changes and reset the computer.
12. make sure that un-needed USB ports are used and make sure that you don't have any other hard drive or just about anything except the usb installer, the destination hard drive and mouse and keyboard connected.
13. its suggested that the usb installer will be connected via USB port 2.0 .and you may keep your ethernet cable connect to the Mobo.
14. so the computer resets and you should press F8 to get to quick boot mode.
15. select the UEFI:USB with whatever appear as the vendor of you USB .
16. you will see the boot options screen.
17. use the right and left keys to navigate to the options icon. Hit the Enter to see list of arguments.
18. select the 2nd called "Boot Args:dart=0 " hit the enter to add another flag to it and add nv_disable=1.
!!! the argument should look like this:
Boot Args:dart=0 nv_disable=1
19. hit the enter and scroll down with the down arrow key to DSDT fix mask and hit the enter.
20. use the space bar to UN-select whole of the options, but leave "ADD DTGP" option and "FIX HPET" option selected . get rid of the rest !!! and hit return and return again to the main boot screen and select the USB installer and hit the ENTER to start the boot !
hopefully you got to the installer screen after about 2-3 minutes if not less.
21. when the desktop loads, on the upper menu bar, choose utilities and select Disk Utility .
22. partition the destination Hard drive just as you did with the usb at the beginning and close disk Utility.
23. continue with the installation screen and choose that partition to be the destination and agree or whatever to the terms and start install.
24.it will take about 15 minutes more or less and it could be that at the end it wont show you the message that installation successful and simply reboot. Dont panic !
25. let the system reboot and press F8 and select the USB again and boot just the same as we did in steps 18 to 20 but this time instead of booting the USB , you should boot the Hard drive you just finished installed El Capitan on it.
26. Welcome screen, select your language and setup your account. if you are using Ethernet cable, you should have working network out of the box.
27. now at this stage you need to copy or move multibeast 8 to desktop and lunch it , agree to whatever ... choose UEFI boot loader. from driver section, expend the audio Realtek ALCXXX and choose ALC887/888b , not the legacy !
from Network select, Intel > Appleintel1000e v3.2.4.2.
Boot loader section will be pre selected cause of the quick start section of the UEFI.
from customize select System definition > Mac pro > Mac pro 3,1 should do .
select build tab and click install wile you make sure its installing onto the target partition.
notice: i chose those settings cause i prefer working with my built in sound card , you can try instead or in addition to also select one of the voodoo options if you want to use your HDMI GPU sound .
28. put the NVIDIA and the Clover configure vibrant on your desktop and remove any USB from your ports.
29. now start the clover configure wile its on your desktop>>> http://mackie100projects.altervista.org/
(you can use the vibrant edition cause this what i dowloaded and used.
30. when its open it needs to show you at the bottom 3 EFI directories.
or it will ask you to mount EFI first ,so mount if needed. anyhow , just don't play with the list, you need to see those 3 EFI directories.
if you mounted the EFI but you don't see the bottom list then click the house icon at the bottom and then you should see 3 directories ending with config.plist files.
40. click on the EFI > EFI > CLOVER> config.plist
and then the app window will update and you'll need to select Boot menu.
at this stage if dart=0 is marked from all the options you are good !
just select nada_drv=1 and go to file and click save.
you finished editing your config plist to be ready to accept the Nvidia alternate driver.
41.install Nvidia driver and restart !
42. thats it... all needs to be working and all you need to do is set the sound to whatever port you use .
i haven't try the HDMI sound and i prefer the old built in way.
you can always test some other stuff like the voodoo driver and see if it will make your GPU sound to be cast .
. before you ask me any question please make sure you read the entire guide as presented by Tony .
