I just build and installed my very first Mackintosh and would like to thank everyone here a lot !! This forum is so helpful !!
Here's what I did:
For installation, I followed tony's tutorial for creating USB drive here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...pported-intel-based-pc.172672/#download_elcap
For BIOS settings, I used this thread:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-build-ga-z170x-ud5-th-i5-6600k.199242/#Build
And then STEP 4 on this page again for El Capitan installation

MultiBeast settings here: (#7)

I finally add the SSDT-i7-6700k.aml file in the EFI partition in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder.
Thunderbolt:
To get Thunderbolt working, check Post #4 below. I explain everything from Windows installation to the Thunderbolt install itself.
Nearly everything is working but I have as many people in this forum sleep/wake issues. First of all (and maybe the weirdest) in the system preferences I don't have the computer sleep setting (I use to but it disappeared 3 days after the install), I only have the one for the screen. And the big thing is as soon as the screens turns off, I can't wake my hackintosh up whatever I do (neither with the mouse or keyboard). For now I had to set the screen to never turn off ...
[EDIT] It'a a known issue with Intel HD530 graphics but still i'm supposed to have a computer sleep setting ...
Second thing, I got an error message when installing Little Snitch saying there was a missing kext file ... That really bugs me, I really want to install it !!
Any help will be appreciated ! Thanks.
