3. Install OSX with UniBeast
4. Install drivers with MultiBeast

[h=1]SUMMARY[/h][h=2]WHAT WORKS[/h]

• everything [I need]
• audio - at least 2 channels work
• Nvidia GPU + full acceleration
• networking - Ethernet
• Bluetooth - Apple Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse; I don't use other BT features
• computer seems not to freeze/hang after wake up - uptime 3+ days, previously ~1 day, hanged after longer sleep (like next-day wake up)
• time machine

[h=2]WHAT DOES NOT WORK[/h]

• Don’t use MacPro 3,1
  • audio keeps failing after wake up
  • random freezes requiring hard reset after wake :/
  • bluetooth could hot handle Apple Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse at the same time
• Don’t use iMac 15,1
  • no drivers for Nvidia GPU

Quick Start > EasyBeast is for processors w/o power management. Your i5-4690 processor has power management, so Quick Start > DSDT-Free should have worked better for you. See page 3 of the Multibeast Features document which comes with MultiBeast:

EasyBeast is for Core 2, Core i or Xeon systems with no native CPU Power Management

"so Quick Start > DSDT-Free should have worked better for you."

That's was my previous attempt to install the OSX. The results were the same :/

------

Anyways

- system still hangs (after some time) after WAKE UP (no reaction to mouse, keyboard, no ssh access, display keeps "the OSX"); (same problem: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-support/183281-ga-z97-d3h-evga-gt740sc-random-freeze-problem.html )
- sometimes it works for 2-3 days, with many sleeps/wakeups, then it sometimes hangs
- it seems that it hangs only after longer sleeps (I put it to sleep in the evening, and wake it the next day like 12 hours later)
- hard reset is needed to reboot the PC
- after reboot - it works perfectly - it has never hanged when booted without sleeping
