hey, I've decided to try running OS X on my build. It is a very specific build that i couldn't find in any forums so i thought it was a good idea to share with you guys.

Everything was flawless using tonymacx86s guide for skylake cpus, but I've had to update the bios for the IOAPIC option to appear. Here are my bios settings:
VT-d disabled CFG-Lock disabled Secure Boot Mode disabled OS Type Other OS IO SerialPort disabled XHCI Handoff enabled IOAPIC 24-119 Entries disabled
As for drivers, I've installed the following ones:
Audio->ALC892, 100 Series Audio Disk->3rd Party SATA, Intel Generic AHCI SATA Network->Intel->IntelMausiEthernet v.2.1.0d3 USB->3rd Party USB 3.0, Increase Max Port Limit.
And for the Radeon R9 390 to work I've used FakeID 0x67B01002 and InjectATI=True. I am also using Radeon as frame buffer as you can see:
<key>Devices</key> <key>FakeID</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <string>0x67B01002</string> <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>FBName</key> <string>Radeon</string> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <true/>
if you can read portuguese, I've made a blog post about the process
Everything works fine but there are those times when it doesn´t come back from sleep. Also, i don't think the other video card ports are working (I'm using the first DVI). I've tried to change the frame buffer but with no success, any tips?
Thanks!
