Hi every one. I like to share my experience.
My CustomMac Pro hardware.
- Procesor Intel Core i7 4790k
- Ram Crucial Ballistick Sport PC3 1600 DDR3 8 Gb x 4 = 32 Gb
- Motherboard Gigabite GA-Z97X-Gaming 5
- EVGA Nvidia GeForce GT 740 Superclocked (2GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0)
- Samsung 850 EVO - SSD (250 GB, Serial ATA III, 540 MB/s, 2.5")
- Seagate Desktop 7200.14 2TB SATA3 64MB
- Corsair Cooling Hydro S.H60
- Power Corsair CS750M 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular
- Tower Case Corsair Carbide SPEC-03
I followed the tutorial posted by TonyMacx86
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-el-capitan-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
About my Bios configuration
All as in the tutorial but I desactivated integrated VGA and have activated this two parameters:
XHCI Hand-off
EHCI Hand-off
Create USB Boot
Everything done in the tutorial as well but I had to activate the OsxAptioFix2Drv driver with Clover Configurator because otherwise not working.
Install El Capitan
Before starting the installation I have two hard drives formatted creating a FusionDrive. It is done using a terminal window instead of using the disk utility. Leave a link for anyone interested.

After the first installation, in the first reset, I had to create the boot flag nv_disable=1 in the clover loader, because the screen was gray with the mouse cursor. This is because the system did not set the video resolution of the card properly.
When the system has completed the installation, I loaded alternative Nvidia drivers and the problem has disappeared.
Finally I loaded the post-installation utilities comes in the manual.
Current situation
Everything works correctly.
I have not installed any WiFi or Bluetooth adapter because I do not need. I'll see later.
I made a test with Geekbench 3 and the results are very good.

You could compare the score with those published on the website of the application.

BUT....... I have a problem. I can not get the OS X boot without the USB UniBeast.
I would appreciate any idea. I'm investigating.
