Just wanted to add that anyone who needs wifi on their hack for cheap you can use this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZKPXHVS/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 which comes with a usb stick to install the package in macOS. I put one on my hack just to check it out for my upcoming Ryzen build. It...

Been a while since I checked in. I haven't had my hack running since Sierra but just resurrected it with Catalina using Open Core. I've been experimenting with Open Core because I getting ready to build a Ryzen hack. I was amazed with being able to use Windows to download and build the Catalina...

Great news. I'm likley going to build one and retire my Skylake to full time Windows 10 machine.

You should install eSata and as the only drive powered up in your machine. After installation you can power up your other drives.

There is a RAM cleaning app in the App store that looks like a stick of Ram that will automatically clean up used Ram. I use it on my hack and my Mac. I think it's called Ram Cleaner. Im in Windows right now so I can't look it up at the moment. It may help you.

So after a week of trying different ways of trying to install and update 10.13 with my Evga 1070's I have only been able to install with both cards pulled and installation of the web drivers before installing cards back on the MB. If I try to install the cards after High Sierra install without...

@Stork quick question about creating fresh install of 10.13 with USB installer. Since I'm on a BIOS of 3405 do I need to include RC Scrips to Emulated NVRAM in the Clover Installer?

Yeah, I understand. I have 2 cards in and it causes all kinds of hell with High Sierra. Mine is dead too on my 10.13 test ssd after trying supplemental update. My 10.12.6 ssd works fine. I'll be waiting for a point release before trying again.:)

Just an Idea but you might try removing your card and boot from Igpu with your Bios set to Igpu and then do the Nvidia driver package to enable your Gpu.

See post 2 @Stork this thread for installation.

I'm a little disappointed that my dual 1070's cause problems for install and updates. I will have to remove one of the gpu's for each point release to update. Looks like I'll stick with my 10.12.6 ssd for the time being. I may build a small mini like Coffee Lake machine with dedicated Mac OS...

Can't use the igpu with your gpu I don't believe.

See post 2 in this thread for explanation on how to install.

Do the old drivers need uninstalled before updating or will the present Nvidia drivers give notice that a new version is available? Will I need to enable sip again to update?

I was able to get mine working again by inserting the new apfs.efi. It did not install the supplemental. It just updated iTunes. Running Timemachine backup now and downloading supplemental from post . I will wait for latest Nvidia drivers before update.
