I successfully upgraded to Yosemite yesterday on my GA-Z68AP-D3 + Geforce GT610:
- Backuped up Mavericks to another drive just in case (using Superduper).
- Downloaded Yosemite from App Store and cancelled install, the installer saves to Applications
- Downloaded Unibeast 5.0.1 and most recent Multibeast for Yosemite.
- Created Unibeast USB (selected Legacy USB).
- Booted from Unibeast USB and installed Yosemite over existing Mavericks.
- Rebooted using Unibeast into new installation.
- All hardware still worked except I lost rear USB sockets, front ones still functioned.
- Ran Multibeast to install USB 3 and Chimera 4.
- All now working as before, apps and data intact. (Photoshop CS5 needs Java 6 install).
(NB: I had difficulty with audio with this mobo when I first installed Mavericks. It seems there are two revisions of the board with different audio. Some websites say Realtek ALC889 or ALC892, but the rev 1 has a Realtek/Via chip. I had to install a universal driver VoodooHDA v2.7.2 for VT2021 to get it to work).
Thanks to Tonymacs for their great work.
