Hi guys,
after 3 days of fiddling with many different kexts, patches and guides I believe everything works the way I want it to work now. I've attached my config.plist for anyone interested, but you'll definitely have to fix some entries for yourselves as I've had to delete them (like serial numbers and such).
My setup:

I've attached my config.plist for anyone interested, but you'll definitely have to fix some entries for yourselves as I've had to delete them (like serial numbers and such).
My setup:
- Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Rev 1.1 with Ethernet (Atheros AR8161) and Sound (VIA VT2021)
- Intel Xeon 1230v2
- 16GB Kingston DDR3-1600
- Nvidia GTX 980 Ti
List of drivers, .kexts, links, fixes, I use:
- Boot flags: -dart=0 (so I don't have to disable VT-d in BIOS) -nvidia_drv=1 (since I use Nvidia Web Driver) -kext-dev-mode=1 (generally recommended as this prevents common problems with some kexts)
- System Profile: iMac 13,2 (reasons: Ivy Bridge, external GPU, and MacMini doesn't work anyomre in Sierra)
- AppleRTC (recommended for Gigabyte MB users as it fixes a shutdown problem)
- Trust flag in SMBIOS for proper use of iCloud services (generate random serial numbers, UUIDs etc.)
- VoodooHDA 2.8.8 fixed for VT2021 chip (tried pretty much everything I could find and even though many people said Voodoo was bad I like it - no weird pop sounds, mic works etc. and names are shown correctly in settings) http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...-z77mx-d3h-via-vt2020vt2021-el-capitan-10113/
- AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext (working LAN-port with version 2.1.0)
- GenericUSBXHCI.kext (working USB 3.0 on all ports)
- on-the-fly fix for TRIM support: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298507-enable-trim-on-non-apple-ssd/ (use the 3rd method, this is quite handy for SSD users and useless for everyone else)
- patched DSDT file using MaciASL and pjalm's repo (general fixes incl. HDA, USB 3.0 power, ...) https://sourceforge.net/p/maciasl/wiki/Repository Index/
- patched SSDT file for my CPU power states using ssdtPRgen (correct Turbo Boost usage) https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh
- OsxLowMemFixDrv-64.efi (I added this in Clover Configurator because I randomly got memory allocation issues that seem to be connected to the Nvidia driver, you probably won't need this unless you have a Maxwell / Kepler nvidia card like I do)
- VT-d: on (as I've mentioned before I simply use the dart=0 boot flag as I need VT-d for my Windows installation)
- XHCI Handoff: enabled
- EHCI Handoff: disabled
- Boot Option 1: UEFI: SSD with Clover installation, Boot Option 2: DVD-RAM, everything else disabled
- http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...lover-uefi-installtweak-guide/page-1?hl=+z77x (it's pretty dated and for a slightly different MB, but I'd recommend it for some interesting information on general process of setting your Hackintosh up - I did alot of research and ended up at this page many times
