I had 10.9.5, but I wanted to try 10.10.1 and Clover.

My system is:
All seems to work fine, even the annoying bug seems to be gone, since I've put the optical unit as External in BIOS.
My system does not use the Intel Graphic Chip, it's disabled, and I use DVI out from nVidia GTX 660 card.
For audio, I use Optical (digital) OUT.
1. You need to have the latest BIOS.
Now the latest BIOS is F7.
Flash it with Q-Flash from an Fat32 USB disk, in BIOS.
* BIOS setting will return to defaults, so you need to set it up again
SEE MY BIOS SETTINGS
2. Read how to fix iMessage
3. Follow the generic guide from here, but at the step 20, use the attached config.plist from Preinstall_config.plist.zip, edited with an text editor those sections:
On the ROM values yyyy... put the MAC address from your network card. You can find this info in BIOS.
The MLB part is a little tricky, try to put some random figures instead of #### (eg: J581515NNZJTF)
===
Put the generated SN instead of zzzz...
In order to calculate an SN, open config.plist in Clover Configurator - SMBIOS, use the Wizard - iMac 14.2 definitions, Shake, Shake on Week of Manufacturer and Unit number
I've attached 10.10 folder, with:
********************
4. After Yosemite Installation, install and run Semulov and mount the EFI partition, where you will find /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
Replace config.plist from /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with the one from Postinstall_config.plist
* edit and add your values for ROM/MLB/SN from above (#3)
If Network is not working, You may need to install with Kext Utility (drag&drop) the AppleHDA.kext and AppleIntelE1000e.kext
If you will see network disconnected from time to time, see here
You can Install Mac CUDA drivers.
Geekbench 3 score
