Hi there, second build and first time contributing here. First build now El Capitan'd and sold to a friend. Entered into this newer build gung-ho and realised that perhaps the official compatibility list is skewed toward using us as guinea pigs... so kudos to that if it's the case. Hope this contribution is useful!
Components
No case yet but hoping to build into a Lian Li PC-TU100 or TU200
Pre-install
Had problems using 32GB Kingston Datatraveller - installed on a smaller partition (ie. 8-10GB).
BIOS Settings
All the usual ones laid out in the Unibeast guide.
OSX Installation
nv_disable=1 cpus=1 -k boot flags, DO NOT use migration assistant
Post Install
Multibeast options:
SSDT was generated through ssdtPRGen - fixed all CPU power management issues. In the App Store upgraded to 10.11.2 and restarted with nv_disable=1, then downloaded and installed latest NVIDIA GeForce web drivers.
Used Clover Configurator (mount EFI and open config.plist) to make sure Inject NVIDIA is disabled and nvda_drv=1 is enabled. Rebooted, and read on...
Issues
GTX 950 port issues:
WIFI not working but this is a known issue
Bluetooth working fine, but with a niggling personal annoyance - I have a bluetooth speaker called a MINIRIG, which worked fine prior to changing my Home directory and installing an audio virtualisation tool called Soundflower. Since doing this, it connects to bluetooth fine but does not show up in the systems list of audio outputs

Issues
GTX 950 port issues:
- DisplayPort will only work if unplugged and plugged back in after the boot sequence
- HDMI works fine and in tandem with DisplayPort for dual monitors.
- DVI causes panic and reboot
