Install method:
- Create 10.9 OSX USB Installer with Myhack. Install it using CSM Enabled and everything on LEGACY OPROM. If black screen appears after boot, use "PciRoot=1".
- Then when system is working an properly patched (see Patches section) install Clover Bootloader, using UEFI Install options, and marking 64bit UEFI Drivers ( AmiOptio, Data Hub and RC Scripts on disk marked ).
- Once Clover is properly installed, boot to UEFI Bios, deactivate CSM, and boot from UEFI Clover partition, and select boot options for OSX : Boot without caches & Injected Kexts. System should work fine.
Patches:
- Patched ALC898 on AppleHDA. Use the "multi-tool" you like "beast" :-)
- Install Intel and Realtek Lan Drivers. Same as above.

4. Lnx2Mac's ethernet driver
5. SSDT Sandy Bridge Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs for overclocking up 2 4.2ghz
. DO NOT RESTART UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE ALL OF THE PRIOR STEPS!
I boot from my raid so I cannot use UEFI yet. I will purchase a SSD one day or a thunderbolt pegasus r6 :P but till then here is my f12 DSDT that enable HDMI AUDIO FOR HD3000, Most Nvidia, and Most AMD cards.
Here is a how to for enabling advanced drives to boot from osx also:
How I fixed my Rocketraid RAID10 with 4 (2tb) drives wd ears advanced format green's boot0 error I'm sure it works on other advanced format drives as well:
All done without linux *requires a separate lion installation*
boot into your seperate lion os
open disk utility and unmount your lion raid partition
run showallfiles and copy /usr/standalone/i386/boot1h to the root of your currently running os
open terminal
sudo su
cd /
ls (you should see boot1h in the dir)
diskutil list
dd if=boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2 (this is my disk partition find yours! using the diskutil list)
I repeated the dd command 5 times just to be sure it "sticked".
reboot and make sure your raid is the booting hard drive
enjoy :)

Component Status:
Notes:
- Works without DSDT, only audio needs patching
- BIOS version F19j
- Dual boot to Win7, both operating systems on their own SSD drives
|
- Drivers: Atheros network, GenericUSBXHCI for VIA VL800 chip USB ports, PS/2 driver for mechanical keyboard, patched AppleHDA for VT2021 audio, patched AppleRTC to fix CMOS reset
- Bootloader: Chameleon 2.2svn rev2266
- Getting both onboard audio and HDMI audio require DSDT edits and patched AppleHDA, see thread.
- FireWire audio works OOB as long as you have a compatible FW card (aka one with a TI chip, VIA chip cards don't seem to work)
- CPU PLL Overvoltage must be disabled in BIOS to get working sleep. Sleep will also fail if a CMOS reset has happened, so after installing and patching AppleRTC remember to reset your CMOS (connect two CMOS_RESET pins on motherboard with a flathead screwdriver).

BIOS changes:
- xHCI and EHCI Hand-off is enabled
- boot from NON-UEFI drive, i.e., "P0:..."
Installation Method:
Post-Installation:
- UserDSDT or DSDT-Free; drivers - audio - realtek - without dsdt - alc892; drivers - TRIM if using non-sandforce SSD; drivers - network - Realtek
Other notes:
- no issues with GPU drivers for built-in GPU: I had a single monitor attached and had no white screen or other issues reaching installer or with first boot
- have not yet played with USB 3, MAY required the USB 3 driver, but this mobo seems to have significant USB issues (some USB ports are not recognized at times) so for first install I opted to keep things simple
- have not yet played with discrete GPU; with TonyMac on ML I was never able to get my GPU recognized so I left it on the built-in GPU
- as for ethernet driver, I had used lnxMac's realtek driver, and had no issues; this time I went with the native realtek driver and am again not having issues; have not tried WOL

Installation Method:
- Made USB-Stick with google search
- Boot into Installer with Chimea-Bootflag "GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 -v"
- Install Mavericks
- Boot with Stick into Mavericks
× ATTENTION: THE ORIGINAL DSDT FROM TONYMAC DOESN'T WORK AND STOPS AT [ PCI CONFIGURATION BEGIN ] → follow these steps to avoid this!
- download dsdt from tonymac & download DSDTSE
- Open the dsdt with DSDTSE and look for "Device (PCI0)
- Remove line: Name (_ADR, Zero)
- Correct line: Name (_UID, One) to Name (_UID, Zero)
- Save & Compile DSDT
- use UserDSDT and the DSDT you compiled one step before
- Drivers: Network -> lnx drivers
- Drivers: Sound -> with DSDT -> ALC889
- Custom: GraphicsEnabler=Yes
- Reboot
- It is important that GraphicsEnabler=Yes and after you installed don't use PCIRootUID=1 anymore!
