Hi everyone. First off, thank you to Tonymacx86 and staff for all the work they have done for this community. The upgrade was relatively smooth! phew

ASUS Sabertooth z77 Installation Guide:

1) Followed guide on main page for most part. (ie. download the OS X Mavericks installer, newest Multibeast and UniBeast)
2) Prepared UniBeast USB with no issues, be patient.
3) Installed OS X Maverick from USB with no issues. Accessed the installer screen without having to type in any boot flags.
4) Once I got to the desktop for the first time, I turned off Gatekeeper (system pref) to use the new Multibeast:

MultiBeast Configuration

Here is the only thing I did differently from the guide on the home page:
5) Once Multibeast finished, instead of rebooting the computer I went into System/Library/Extensions to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and the other file similar to this. It was causing a panic on the apple loading screen during the first installed. After I removed them, I ran KextBeast using the patch supplied by Mieze here Reboot after KextBeast is finished.
6) No errors on restart. Ran Chameleon SSD Optimizer to enable TRIM for SSD.

7) Everything seems to work except for iMessage, can't log in. Ethernet, audio, iStat Menus 4 all work flawlessly.
 
I have a non-k i7-3770 with GTX650Ti 2GB.

Can only boot with -x(safe mode).

Mind showing off your BIOS Screens?

And which slot is your GPU inserted into?

I didn't do much in my BIOS besides changing to AHCI mode and choosing the highest system performance preference on the EZ mode interface.

My GPU is inserted in the beige PCI slot closest to the CPU.

Did you remove the kexts? That was the only issue I ran into during my first go.
