I've researched a lot and so many contributors helped me.

I will try making a easy smooth guide for Gaming Series MOBO with Skylake Cpu.

Sorry, my English is so bad but I will try the best as I can.



The Build Spec


1 x i7 6700k

1 x ASUS Radeon R9 390 DirectX 12

1 x G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000

1 x GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7

1 x Rosewill Photon-1050, PHOTON Series 1050W

1 x Corsair Hydro Series™ H110i GTX 280mm




Working:


Everything excepting usb3.1c and Apple audio control UI(Sound working but just cannot control the sound strength by UI)
P.S Thunderbolt function not tested.




Installation

A. Required apps and files

Apps: Clover Configurator, Kextbeast or other apps for kext installing.
Files: Attached folder.

You need at least a machine which has working OS X.

1. Make a USB Clover installer w/ the regular guide for El Capitan

2. After you have install USB, replace folder in the USB to my attached folder.
For this step, You need to use Clover configurator app to mount your USB EFI.
So open the app and in tool's section click "Mount EFI". Click "Check Partition". After you check the USB's disk number (i.e figured by disk's size.), Click "Mount EFI Partition" and click the corrected disk number. Now your USB mounted!

3. Now in finder, you can see EFI mounted. Click it and Delete or back up your EFI folder. Move 'First EFI' folder and change the folder name 'EFI'. So now you have new EFI in you USB w/o any coding. :))






B. Bios setting.

For smooth installation, we need to update bios to newer version(in my case, F6 is the newest) and change settings.


1. Please go to Gigabyte site and download the newest bios driver and store it in the USB.

2. Q-flash and update bios driver using the downloaded file in the USB. Reboot again and then into bios setup, you now should see bios version changed.

3. Now change the bios setting like below:

a. Default (short key is f7)
b. XHCI Hand-off(Enable)/ Super IO Configuration(Disable)/ VT-D(disable)/ IOAPIC Entry(Disabled).

4. Now good to go installation.


Note. It could need some change graphic setting depend on your own graphic card installed. I haven't any problem with my AMD card. And after installation, I applied new EFI folder for all functions working including GPU.




Post Installation

1. Boot with your USB and select the installed OS X drive.

a. Open Clover configurator again, mount your OS X.(Just in case eject your USB before this proceed)
b. Click EFI. Remove EFI folder and add 'Second EFI' attached and rename it 'EFI'
c. In the EFI/Clover/Kexts/ install all kexts by kextbeast or other apps.

2. You might need to change the GPU setting for your own GPU. Again, mine is AMD, so if you have Nvidia you should change Config setting and install new driver for that.(I think you can find it very easy in this site.)

3. Important fix for overrides boot list whenever you reboot the computer issue.

So please go to this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/181720-boot-entries-duplicate-clover-boot.html#post1174987

4. Now good to go boot with new OS X!!


Note. if you have an error during booting, just use your bootable USB for boot with Verbose mode.



Ok, this is everything I know so far.


I am noob of this world. I am not a programer or whatever geek for computer. So please understand me if I made any mistakes for this guide. And please ask me anything if you have questions.

Thank you!!

I am always appreciated for all your supports in this site!!


Credit to not only limited to specific people who find this amazing routes but also anyone helped me!!

P.S. if you founded a method, how to use Apple audio UI working and USB3.1, please let me know!

Hello and happy new year.
I'm sorry for my English.:shh:

I have the MSI Motherboard with R9 390 AMD GPU, and I'm trying 2 days to install Hackintosh in my system.
I'm following the tonymacx86 Installation Guide, but when I am in Clover Menu and I'm pressing the MAC OS X icon to boot the Hackintosh installation, I'm seeing the apple logo with the slim status bar down, and when the bar is 99% ready, the apple logo replacing from this logo.

Hi, First I need to know your system profile. What Motherboard are you using?

99% Install problem is based on the wrong bios setting.

So please read my bios's setting carefully, and enable and disable in each options in right way.

Your GPU is the same with mine. So use my EFI folder.

GL!!

My MB is Gigabyte. But you should have similar option in your MB.

Is it in the same category with VT-d.

or you can search your MB in this website. I think you can find the right bios setting.

If you did all options changed in bios, I guess you missed install USB part.

Have you tried my install guide?

Original Tonymac installation guide is only for previous mother boards, not for 100series like yours and mine.

So, try it with my guide and files.

It should be working.

I will find the Bios option change for your MB.

Hello!

Finally, I installed the "El Capitan" in my PC.
But I have a lot of Issues.

First of all, I followed your Installation Guide and my GPU is AMD Radeon R9 and not ASUS R9 390.

So, I followed your guide and :
1. My monitor, after 5-10-15 minutes (there is no standar time), changes to black screen. In the "About this Mac", the GPU card, seems to be the original but after a little time, the monitor goes to black screen.
I have an LG UltraWide and I'm using the highest resolution.
Do you know a solution about this?
2. I have installed to my PC 16GB RAM, but in the "About this Mac" section, I'm seeing only 8GB. Why?
3. I have no sound.

All others works fine, but my biggest problem, is with the $#@^%#@ black screen.

P.S. My GPU works fine in Windows OS with the highest and hardest performance in games and video editing.

Hi, good to here you get installation.


For your GPU which is the same with mine. No worry the Brand of it.

Black screen issues since This Customac does not support sleeping mode (hibernation), so don't make your hard drive sleep.

Your monitor is the same of mine. Ultra wide LG.

So go System Preferences/ Energy Saver/ Check prevent Computer from.../ the others not checked.

Turn display off after: Change whatever you want.

Go to Desktop & Screen saver/ Screen saver/ Start after:Never.

Done.

You will not see black screen again when after monitor goes to off and back on.



The Ram issue.

You should change the Config.plist file for your Ram info.(Even though you are not change it, actual rams are fine for working in your Computer, it is just cosmetic thing.)

Open Clover Configurator and then mount your MacOS installed HDD. open your Config.plist file/ SMbios/ Memory part/ click'+' so you can add your own Ram info. Please remove all previous ram info if it is showing already. Make it sure your ram slot positions (Which slot number you inject the actual rams i.e 0,2 or 1,3) Just save and then reboot. You should retry it with reboot. If you have higher than 8gb per each ram size, like mine is each ram size, 16gb, you should change it in manually by textedit app.


The sound issue.


If your board have Realtek Audio codec, search in this website for 'realtek audio' by toledo.

If your board have Creative codec, there is VoodooHDA pkg v3. on insanelyMac website's download section.



Let me know if you have questions.


GL!!
Joe.
