Hi everyone.

I had a ASUS Z87-Pro that work without a problem on Yosemite via Clover (besides iMessenger), tutorial here. Still the MB had a problem and now I have to buy a new one. I'm thinking about buying a more recent one Z97 and don't buy the same one because, why not xD

My question is, even if I end up to make it work 99% with my Z87-Pro after so many days of testing, since I will buy a new one and my day by day use in on Yosemite, I will prefer buy a new one that don't give me any problems on installing Clover/Yosemite.

 

Since the CPU and HDD are never a problem, and I have a BCM94360CD that work out of the box, my concerns will be:

Sound that work out of the box

Ethernet that work out of the box

My graphics card (GTX 580) working out of the box (I think that is more related to the boot than the MB

 

If you guys could tell me the audio and network chipset's that make it work my default on Yosemite will be nice, that way I maybe could search by myself.

 

Side notes:
1 PCI-E that work for my 580GTX  (update for a GTX 960 later)

Minimal 6 SATA port's for all my HDD's

Minimal 6 USB ports on the back
2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 on the front
Allow me to overclock my ram to 2400Mhz
Will be nice to have wireless since BCM94360CD is not detected by Windows.

 

My System is:
MB: ASUS Z87-Pro (BIOS 1602)
CPU: Intel i5 4760K
Storage: SSD 256 Samsung EVO (Mac OSX) + SSD 128Gb (Windows 8.1) + 4 HDD's
GPU: MSI 580GTX Lightning 1536MB PCIE
RAM: 8GB G-Skill DDR3-2400
Wireless: Apple iMac WF-AC360 Desktop PCI-1X BCM94360CD
Monitors: ASUS (2K) DVI + HD w2207h DVI
