[SUCCESS] i7-5820k @ 4.3ghz, 2x GTX 970, GA-X99-UD4 Yosemite Hackintosh!

A lot of people have been wondering if Hackintosh works on the X99 Platform. I have successfully setup Yosemite on my GA-X99-UD4 build with dual GTX 970s - both being recognized - along with a 5820k, SSD, 16GB DDR4 of RAM and more.

What's working: Full CPU performance (no power step though), both GTX 970s are recognized with full hardware acceleration, App store/iMessages etc, all USB ports, all connected storage devices (3 SSDs, 2 hard drives.)

What's not working: onboard audio (can be fixed, but I use cinema display's audio)

The build:

Intel Core i7 6-Core 5820k w/Hyperthreading @ 4.3ghz

Corsair H110 Cooler

Corsair MX100 256GB SSD (Yosemite drive)

Corsair Air 540 Case

2x GTX 970 Gigabyte WindForce Cards

GIGABYTE GA-X99-UD4 Motherboard

16GB DDR4 RAM

Installation:

Everyones system is different. But you will need NVIDIA's web drivers if you have a GTX 970, 980 or 780 Ti.

This thing knows no lag, everything is instant and smooth. Yosemite is a bit of a RAM hog, using 7GB RAM just with 4 tabs open in safari and iTunes. I'd suggest 16GB for extra caching and more speed. Yosemite really uses the extra RAM, unlike Windows.

I will help anyone who needs it if your specs are similar to mine. Post below!
