[Success] Yosemite on Asrock z97 Extreme 4, Asus 970 Strix

[krzyssp]

Hi! After using this build for few days, i can say that (as far as I can check) everything is working fine
Specs:
Asrock z97 Extreme 4
Intel 4790k
Asus GTX 970 Strix
Crucial M500 SSD 120GB
Crucial Ballistix 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL Unbuffered
Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 CM 530W
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 (wifi working out of box )

Installation:
I made normal Yosemite bootable USB using Unibeast. In BIOS i just had to turn off VT-d and set AHCI mode for drives. Before I started i had other SSD for Windows (already installed) and HHD for data - i disconnected both of them, and also i unpluged GPU from motherboard (and power supply ofc). I had display connected by DP, but i dont think that matter. Installation normal, i didnt have to make any changes or anything. After booting i had to use this tutorial http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/65706-boot0-error-official-guide.html . Multibeast settings was DSDT free BUT i had to disable 3rd Party SATA and set it to Intel generic AHCI Sata. I also used ALC 1150 codec for audio. I couldnt install graphics drivers on 10.10.2 so i updated from App Store to 10.10.3, and then installed audio drivers again and Nvidia WEB Driver. I swiched OSX Default graphics driver to Nvidia WEB driver, powerd off the computer (ALWAYS do it with Apple logo -> Shut down, dont reset by button!), then plugged in GTX 970, powerd on, then installed CUDA driver. Now (again, as far as i can say) everything works really nice

PS Sorry for my not-so-great english

Hi,
may I ask whether you got all 8 SATA3-Ports working at the same time?
