My increasingly ancient Hackintosh continues to ride!
The p7p55D-E-Pro and i5-750 are circa 2009 technology. The GTX460 is not much newer.
I upgraded directly over El Capitan and Clover using the standard instructions. After upgrading my system definition to 14.2 and also to the newest version of Clover (so I could see the Sierra install partition), the installation itself went without a hitch.
The main problem post install was the dreaded black screen of death, which needed the "nv_disable=1" boot flag in order to reach the desktop.
I tried the nvidia web drivers and a huge variety of various fixes suggested on this and other fora. I was just about to give up after several hours worth of reboots, when what finally worked I think was choosing "trusted" (using Clover Configurator) and a few other options as per my attached config.plist. As a bonus in Sierra, the on-board sound (VIA VT1828S) works out of the box without the annoying crackles I experienced in El Capitan. Great stuff!
