@Edhawk I am trying to hack a Dell 3060 SFF i5 8500/HD630 for a friend with a broken iMac and no money. I have followed your advice above. I first tried to install Mojave without success, but I got Catalina installed and booting. But: no graphics acceleration, 8MB VRAM. What can the matter be...

If you have an APFS boot disk, you can make a new APFS volume and install another/newer version of MacOS on that. Nice. Does this work on Hacks too? I would like to test Ventura.

I see dropdown menu's in the hardware signature details but my hardware is not in there. How can I change this?

I will build a fifth Hack, probably my last. Use case: Build for (serious) audio work, plus Adobe Photo Subscription usage(Lightroom Classic and Photoshop) Target: Highest single thread performance, at least 2000 in GB5. Features: * PCIe slot for AMD Vega 56(mandatory, have this card) * PCIe...

TB and USB-c work, hot swap doesn't. After sleep, usb-c disks are ejected with an error and won't remount. And no TB networking. Any ideas how to fix this would be very welcome. TB networking is not strictly necessary, but I would like to get rid of USB-c eject error. TIA!

Try as I might, my Z170x-UD5-TH reboots instead of shutdown. I have a proper USBports.kext, I think, and i have also been experimenting with FixShutdown-USB-SSDT to no avail. Can someone help? @Edhawk? The Z170x had no problems shutting down in Clover with the shutdownfix option.

I revived my old mobo using OC and Mojave. Works OK, but when I shut it down it reboots after a minute or so. Checked a bunch of things, USB map looks OK etc. There was this option(called fixshutdownsomething, I think) in Clover that fixed this, but I can't find the OC equivalent. Anyone with...

I've built a Frankenstein Hack bases on this mobo from scraps lying around. I would be much obliged if someone could provide me with a working OC EFI for this combo. I would like to run Mojave, if possible. The Z170 ones I've tried lead to black screens/reboots/etc I don't mind doing some work...

I am testing an upgraded clone on a TB3 external SSD (to Big Sur latest) of my Mojave disk. I have a problem with my Universal Audio UAD2 Quad card. It isn't recognized properly. If I start from 0 with the install, it may work once, but after a restart i get Device Not Found. Also, booting is...

Chasing down a recurring glitch in audio playback. Checking log files is difficult because of tons of org.slice.HWMonitor SMC2-Helper errors. How do I get rid of this helper file? I took out kexts, removed hwmonitor from login items, checked launchagents and daemons, but it still runs after a...

Can someone with a working OSX10.14.4 on a Z170X-UD5-TH upload his EFI folder? I'm experiencing weirdness with ACPI and hwmonitor, and I would like to have a look at someones working EFI folder.

I just upgraded to 10.14.4. Works fine. On closer inspection, I see weirdness in my EFI partition. My /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other looks like this: NullCPUPowerManagement.kext VirtualSMC.kext SMCSuperIO.kext FakeSMC.kext IntelMausiEthernet.kext USBInjectAll.kext...

My SSD's were getting full once more and I could get a good deal on an Intel 760 1TB NVME SSD. Here's what I did(using OSX10.13.1): 0. Reorder PCIe stuff, lower PCIe x4 slot shares PCIe lanes with M2 slot. Moved UAD card to x1 slot, moved WIFI/BT card to x1 slot next to GFX card. Put NVME bar in...

I noticed I've lost my Intel iGPU in Luxmark. It only uses/scores my RX480 now... My iGPU didn't add much, but still. Will investigate the SSDT I threw out, there might be something in there that makes both GPU's work in Luxmark. On the other hand, my graphics are fine now, FCPX works, intel...

I have a couple of TB3/USB-C ports on my Hack. They sort of work, which is nice. But the current state of support leaves a lot to be desired. Sleep doesn't work properly for me because of these ports. Can't hot swap TB3 devices. TB devices do not show up in about this Mac. Etc. I have looked at...

Side note: Does macOS support sound cards? I worth with Logic and I want the best sound possible. If you buy a OSX compatible sound card, then it will work fine. I'm a happy Metric Halo and Lynx Aurora user.

I searched the site, but could only find older info. Is there a way to make a Skylake board charge an iPad? My iPhone gets charged properly, my iPad doesn't, there's some sort of current limiting taking place. On all ports. I checked Clover, I already have high current settings for USB, but this...

I've tweaked my Z170x as close to perfection as I can with my limited knowledge of ACPI/SSDT/etc, but I still have intermittent problems with USB devices. Sometimes they will not get recognized on boot/insertion, and need to be plugged/unplugged several times before they show up/work. Also, when...

I have upgraded my BIOS to F20 from F5 in the hope of getting rid of occasional kernel_task problems. I already properly excluded/fixed my USB(I also have USB weirdness every now and then, unfortunately the fix hasn't helped much). I wonder if it is a good idea to upgrade/update SSDT's? I can...
