7. Install Nvidia CUDA-8.0.61 and update cuda on System Preferences
8. Enable TRIM:
   1. $ sudo trimforce enable
9. Enjoy.

Notes:

• If your load screen is stuck, enter -v in the clover boot options. Seems to always work.
• I have tried to get this hackintosh to work at least 6 times of doing tutorials and all have failed after installing nvidia drivers. But this one works perfectly. At this attempt I feel as if I am finally understanding how this all works, which is a good feeling. If you do this, you should document each step that you take inorder to isolate things that do and don’t work. It is through this process that has led me to a higher understanding of the functions. Plus once you publish your successful install, it helps the communicty.
• I use an audio interface for audio through USB

Update 1 week later:

• I removed a USB device, booted up pc into Sierra and the last lines before shutting down show:
  • AppleUSBAdioControlInterface.cpp at line 357
  • AppleUSBAdioDevice.cpp at line 1387,538,280,1253,537,280
• I can’t seem to figure out how to resolve this.

I have the same mobo and I resorted to using only windows because of the random restarts. I've installed several times, followed successful guides but no dice. Seems stable then i get random restarts out of the blue.
