I really don't get it why this happening. My system definition is iMac 17,1 but Evergy Saver doesn't show as a Desktop version. Why this happening? Normally all Apple Desktop product shown Energy Saver with 2 option. Computer Sleep and Display Sleep. But Hackintosh turn this as a laptop version?

This is Desktop Version from real Mac.

I have the same 17.1 definition and don't have that problem. Did you clone a copy of Sierra from a laptop and install it in your z170? I used a MacBook 9.1 def on my z170 for giggles and still didn't get that in energy saver. I always go to energy saver to reset timings and also disable 5 min password.
Save your USERS file to a usb or other disk and do a fresh install.

No I am not copied. I made clean install. I always installing as a clean install. System definition is set 17,1. First boot I can get the desktop version but for a while it change itself Mac mini or laptop version. After my Z170 board I always choose iMac 17,1. I really don't get it why this happening. I am adding my config.plist could you please compare with yours?

try this, I can't get the correct ig.platform but its not 1912, it starts 0x0a20608 or something. I did add some things and changed you csr config from 0x28 to 0xFFFF, and 0x30 to 0x67 try this and see if its better. I will post the correct ig platform id to get you full SKL CRB graphics @1536 mb.
newconfig.zip rename it config.plist before you replace it.

After changed to config.plist with the new one VRAM shows 7MB. But I already using this IGP which you changed Skylake Intel HD 530 Integrated Graphics Working as of 10.11.4 and I am getting with this @1536MB and glitch. Are you sure is this the wrong one? Also csr nothing affect anything.

is csr must be 0xFFFF or 0xFFF? Which one is the right inside of the new config writing 0xFFF but your preview message shown 0xFFFF?

I don't have access to my rig right now , it will check it later. The 1912 ID is for the fake ID the ig platform is a different number, you will still get it working but it's better with the proper ig platform ID. It took me a while to find it originally, it should be a sticky in the HD 530 threads. The csr config is what most people are recommending for Sierra. Do you still have the energy saver problem?

Yes energy saver problem still continue.

Did you share the original ig platform on the forum if you did I can check your earlier post 'cause I read the whole 530HD thread I never see it? But I can check it again if you shared?

Look at your graphics in screen display. The 30bit color ARGB2101010 is what you want as it's the better of the two options. This energy thing is really strange. I noticed your config plist did not have a uuid or serial number did you remove those prior to sending to me? ''This may be the issue if you don't have them and the system can't recognize your serial number and uuid this can cause kernel panic.
