To do list:

• Add some pics
• Add link with the kexts I use 
• Fix Audio
• Fix Ethernet
• Do some benchmarks
   

 

1. Create a bootable USB Flash Drive

• Use Clover OS X El Capitan-V5 from chris1111 in the topic Clover OS X El Capitan USB
   
• Copy the files to there respective directories
  /EFI/Clover/ - config.plist
  /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11 - FakeSMC.kext 
  /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11 - NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
   
• Reboot PC and select to start with the USB Flash Drive in UEFI mode
   
• In the Clover menu, select the USB Flash Drive
  
   

2. Make the El Capitan installation on the HDD

• Format in GUID the HDD where you wanna put the Mac OSX El Capitan
   
• Make the normal steps of the installation

 

 

3. Pos-Install

 

�  Make HDD bootable
 
     1. Install Clover EFI bootloader in the El Capitan HDD
 

     
     2. Copy config.plist, FakeSMC.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to the right places like you did in the step 1
