    How far can a Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 TH motherboard go?

    I have a hack that I've been using since the late 2010s running an i7 7700K processor and a Sapphire RX-570 Pulse 8GB card on a Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 TH motherboard. It is running OS 10.15 (Catalina) well, yet it's time to update the OS. I've seen posters stating that this board can run OS 13...

    New Catalina install has no network connectivity

    Fred. Worked w/out a hitch! Thanks! Still haven't managed to apply the 2021-800 update, will work on that now secure that I can re-establish wifi after. PS. That 13 minute video explaining how to use Hackintool could have been shot in 3 minutes or less.

    New Catalina install has no network connectivity

    Edhawk. Thank you, I've been chasing so many issues with this rig that I managed to forget to run Mulitbeast after installation. Ethernet in good order now, I'll chase down my wifi issues at my leisure. I tried applying the security update (2021-008] both from system preferences and by...

    New Catalina install has no network connectivity

    I upgraded from Mojave to Catalina (15.7.03 installer). Everything went well until setup. When I chose ethernet for connectivity using DHCP the machine restarted back into setup (choose language, etc.). Since ethernet was not working and the WiFi option was grayed out, I chose "machine not...

    << Solved >> No ethernet after fresh Mojave installation on Intel NUC8

    No luck. In Clover 5119 I don't see windows as you've shown but under options/ACPI patching/DST fix mask I checked fix LAN and fix regions. No network. I accessed the config.plist file on my boot drive EFI using Clover Configurator 5.17.0.0 and checked the FixLAN and FixRegions boxes. Saved...

    Hosed my machine royally

    I physically removed my SSHD and wiped it using an external drive sled. I was able to install Mojave, but I had no network at all, my wifi, that had worked was grayed out and my ethernet did not connect. I finished the installation and continued to have no network services. I decided not to...

    Where are the "Acpi -> fixes" options?

    Hosed my machine royally

    Does it make any sense to re-flash the BIOS on the motherboard? As I said, just prior to attempting the upgrade and upon restart, the motherboard screen was up for nearly 2 minutes when it would normally take around 10 seconds prior to moving to the clover screen. This and the fact that BIOS...

    Hosed my machine royally

    I was able to use the USB stick to boot my MacBook Pro, so the installer seems to be okay.

    Hosed my machine royally

    I used UEFI boot mode when I built the installer USB stick. I didn't change any BIOS options in going from Mojave to Catalina but wonder if there's a way to have the USB installer recognized by doing something in BIOS.

    Hosed my machine royally

    My unibeast built USB installer does have apfsDriverLoader.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI it also has CLOVERX64.efi in EFI/CLOVER How can I add kexts to a drive I cannot connect to? Why am I not able to see USB drives at the BIOS level?

    Hosed my machine royally

    I had a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH with an i7 7700k and an RX-570 Pulse 8GB running Mojave just fine. I broke the golden rule and changed more than one thing at once. I had made a Catalina install USB but decided to fix up Mojave and try the direct upgrade. I upgraded Clover from 49xx to 5141. I...

    Sudden loss of network connectivity (both wifi and ethernet)

    Thank you sir! I've bit the bullet and am using multibeast to do post installation set up as I type this. Look for me posting with more problems o_O

    Sudden loss of network connectivity (both wifi and ethernet)

    I rebooted my system last night (OS 10.12.6, see description below, ethernet/wifi info included because of the specific problem), and my system lost its ability to use my wifi network. I say use because my system preferences/network shows wifi connected to my router with a correct IP addy (yes...

    BIOS update worked, settings changed, machine hangs before bios screen

    So, based on some more searching around, I tried attaching the monitor not through the video card, but through the HDMI port. Got to the BIOS, and subsequently to CLOVER, deselected InjectNvidia, selected InjectIntel, progress bar for OSX boot makes it 2/3 of the way and screen goes blank. Used...

    BIOS update worked, settings changed, machine hangs before bios screen

    PROJECT: replace i5 6600K with i7 7700K on a UD z170x-ud5 th board, with an EVGA GTX-950 card, previously stable w/El Cap ~1.5 years. Upgraded my BIOS to F22a from F5 and machine showed the BIOS screen, then the CLOVER screen, then tried to boot OSX only to hang with a few white pixels on the...

    Which BIOS for Kaby Lake GA-z170x-ud5 th build

    Mr. Bond, Apologies, you clearly addressed the F22d vs. F22g issue. It was past my bedtime. Questions regarding migrating between F20+ BIOSs and kernalpm still stand. Thanks for a clear description of things, even if my own understanding was initially not so clear.

    Which BIOS for Kaby Lake GA-z170x-ud5 th build

    Mr. Bond, Thanks for the input. I'm guessing you're running F22d. Any reason you've not moved to F22g? It has more CPU microcode updates. I realize it's a massive pain to move from F20 to anything lower, but is it possible to move freely between BIOSs > F20? If not, or unknown, I'm tempted...

    Which BIOS for Kaby Lake GA-z170x-ud5 th build

    I spoke with an IT person here. I wanted to do the USB drive format, BIOS download, unpack and write all on a windows machine. He agreed. I sent him a link to the Gigabyte MoBo page. He was back in touch, said he'd set up the USB drive and that it looked like the F22a and above had microcode...

    Which BIOS for Kaby Lake GA-z170x-ud5 th build

    I am updating my system to an i7 7700K processor. I know I have to update the BIOS to at least F20 for the Kaby to run (still have the Skylake installed). My question is, which BIOS should I use. The Gigabyte web site duly lists the other BIOS options but the descriptions are not terribly...
