7. iMessages (Inject MLB and ROM from Real MacBookPro)
8. LAN Killer E2400
9. Etc
 
Not Working : 
1. Can'nt use AppleHDA :( Update : we can use AppleHDA for Creative CA0132. See here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309441-new-applehda-patcher/?p=2194865
2. Not supported Ethernet I219V yet Work with new kext see here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/205771-appleintele1000ekext-for-108107106105/page-38?do=findComment&comment=2195842credit to @alreadystarted
3. Intel HD 7000 Integrated
4. Super Speed USB 3.0 not function at 10.11.2 Beta version. But, with 10.11.1 Public releas it's working nicely. Bug i thought. Update : with 10.11.2 Build 15C50 all USB are Working, use my "Z170X-Gaming-7-USB3.0-Injection.kext" and SMBios 17.1 Credit to Rehabman
 
 
I just need to flash bios into beta version then Go to BIOS Setup and "disable IOAPIC Entry" :) , then dumping your DSDT with Clover and check about all of your XHC device port and make USBInjection.kext from Clover :)

This is my Files

1. This is for Z170X-Gaming 7 + Palit Jetstream Nvidia GTX960 + TL-WDN4800. So if your system build is not same to my sytem then you need to modify DSDT File. Click>>Z170X-Gaming 7 Conifguration Tested by Me<<< to download files

2. Universal Setting Clover. Try to use this one if you have different Graphics Card, Processor and PCI-E Device. If you want to use Integrated Graphics and Discrette Graphics Card then set into BIOS for Primary Graphics from IGFX then just boot and it should active your integrated first and discrette graphics output few later. If you just want to boot with Discrette Graphics then set at bios primary graphics is PCI-E. Click>>>General Setting Without Graphic Injection for Z170X-Gaming 7<< to download files
 
3. AppleHDA Creative CA0132 Work without Volume Control. Click >>AppleHDA Files<< to download files. After extract you will get Creative-CA0132.kext, Layout1.zml.zlib, Platform.zml.zlib and Patch-OTF.plist.

    Tutorial for AppleHDA (First you need to remove VooDooHDA.kext + HDADisabler.kext + HDAEnabler.kext if you used it before)
    3a. LayoutID has been set "1" with DSDT. So you don't need to set it again with HDAEnabler or Clover Injection.
    3b. Extract the files and you will find "Creative-CA0132.kext" copy this to EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/10.11
    3c. Open your config.plist with Clover Configurator and add this to "Kernel and Kext Patches->KextToPatch" section (you can see this patch at "Patch-OTF.plist")

          Name : AppleHDA
          Find : 786d6c2e7a6c
          Replace : 7a6d6c2e7a6c
          Comment : Change Path XML to ZML
        
          Name : AppleHDA
          Find :  0088ec1a
          Replace : 11000211
          Comment : Rename Codec 1
 
          Name :  AppleHDA
          Find : 7419ad15
          Replace : 00000000
          Comment : Reset Codec
 
    3d. Copy your original AppleHDA.kext from System/Library/Extensions to Desktop. Then copy "layout1.zml.zlib" and "Platform.zml.zlib" to this kext with path "AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Resources". And reinstall the kext with Kext Utility.  :thumbsup_anim:  :thumbsup_anim: . Credit to Wern Apfel, Mirone and Abxite for XML to ZML method
 
Special Note : If you have already use my DSDT and Config.plist then you can skip step 3a. 3b and 3c

I'd considered this board when part shopping for my machine and briefly flirting w/ the prospect of going ATX, but the lack of AppleHDA-compatible onboard audio was a dealbreaker.

 

Awesome you got this up and running though w/o too much difficulty.

I just need to download BIOS file then enter bios, and press "F8" then you go :D

 

What's the difference between SSDTPrGen vs. the Skylake hardware sensors in FakeSMC.kext along with VoodooTSC...?

I don't know, AFAIK I use VooDooTSC for X79 Intel Platforms. I always use FakeSMC with CPUSensor.kext as plugin :D

I have them same like you but not allowed me to install el capitan with error: Still waiting for root device.

Cpu: i7-6700

Mainboard: Gaming G7 Z170

How can i fixed ?

You need to set XHCI Handoff enabled at bios,, and don't forget to flash latest BETA BIOS for your board. And check your bios setting and make sure IOAPIC Entry = Disabled. Then see my configuration at uploaded file above

 

I have the same motherboard and i interesting to install El Capitan, can u make a guide for your instalation ? i have gigabyte ga-z170x gaming 7, i7 6700k, 16gb ddr4 gskill 3200 mhz, 500gb ssd evo samsung, amd r9 280x 3gb 

We have different Graphics Card here. I think you need using FB Name "Chutoro" for your Graphics Card :D and Flash Latest Beta Bios for your board and make sure to disable IOAPIC Entry at BIOS Setting

Owh,, i almost forgot. You can use my "Z170X-Gaming-7-USB3.0-Injection.kext" at Uploaded file above. Don't forget to use SMBios 17.1,, see my config.plist otherwise your USB will have problem. We have default "XHC" not "XHCI" at BIOS. That's important thing to run USBINjectionKext  :hysterical: 

 

Sorry for my Bad English

SUCCESS Gaming G1 works out of the box!

 

Installed new beta bios F6g (didn't bother with F6i beta yet from the giga forums... Dropped in a pre-installed El Capitain 10.11.1 SSD (set up for an iMac 13,2 setup Z77X UD5 TH) into one of the SATAs without changing anything, used;-

 

XHCI Handoff enabled

disable IOAPIC (which now 'appears' in the choices in this 'safe' beta BIOS F6g)

 

Thought Id boot up just for giggles as the prior mob had basic installs with clover and setup for the 980tiGTX and everything is working.

 

Time to play with 10.11.2

 

Haven't done any other kext patching etc yet...

This file is not a file that you are using right now. I can see the GREY Port is NODE 17 and Speaker is 4. But at your platform that you sent to me there is not the node. You have modified it, haven't you?

[success] El Cap 10.11.2 on Gigabyte z170 Gaming G1 / i7 6700k \64Gb RAM / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6143 MB 

 

All pretty cool so far.

Both Killer network nics work with Atheros2200\2400 Meinze's kext.

Most USBs work / switched some off at boot so yet to try all

 

Attempting to see if Killer WIFI AC1535 will work (could've sworn I noticed this was working earlier...)

Attempting to see if I can get the m.2 samsung PCIe x4 NVME 500Gb card working

Will take a look at getting Creative 3D Sound {censored} working too
