   Hello guys,
   
   I thought I should share my experience about my Hackintosh running the latest macOS Sierra without bits and bobs.
   
   First of all, I want to say thank you to Rehabman for using his FakePCIID_XHCIMux and FakePCIID kexts, without them, i wouldn't be able to use USB 3.0 on my rig!
   
   Now I will list all the things I did to accomplish a nearly perfectly running Hackintosh:
   
   First things first, Hardware:
   • ASRock Z97 Anniversary Mobo
   • Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3,2 Ghz
   • Palit NVidia GT730
   • Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB in Dual-Channel
   • Samsung 840 Evo 120GB
   • WD Blue 1TB
   • Corsair 100R Silent Case
   • Corsair CX500 PSU
   • Monitor: BenQ GL2250HM
   • TP-Link TL-WDN4800
   BIOS Setup:
   1. Upgrade to version 1.90
   2. Load UEFI default settings
   3. Disable VT-d
   Parts installed:
   • 8GB installed
   • GT730 installed
   • WiFi-Card installed
   The installation:
   • Create a bootable USB-Stick via UniBeast
   • Boot with nv_disable=1 as preconfigured in Clover Options
   • Installation of Sierra
   • When the Installer prompts you to reboot, keep the USB plugged in!
   • Boot into your new partition with the help of the USB with the same flag as mentioned above
   • Enter credentials
   • You should reach the desktop without any problems
   • If you have an NVidia graphics card, install the appropriate Webdrivers!
   • Use MultiBeast: Nothing extraordinary, i simply chose the following options:
     
   • Reboot, At this point you still shouldn't be able to boot without the USB because ASRocks UEFI needs an easy fix
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-asrock-uefi-boot-fix.174726/ => EASY GUIDE TO FIX THAT PROBLEM => Thanks to KudosDonkey
   • Now should be able to boot without the USB
   • If you have a Nvidia-GPU, boot with nvda_drv=1 and disable nv_disable=1
   • The next thing I noticed was that my USB 3.0 wasn't working correctly. So I installed the mentioned kexts from Rehabman and it worked right away!
   Alternatively:
   • Install HDMIAudio-1.0 to get Audio over HDMI on my GT730
   • Rehabman's EAPD Commander kext for Sleep
   WiFi works ootb!

I can't even seem to get my computer to recognize my USB... Not sure what's going on here.

EDIT: Got the install, trying to get it so it doesn't need USB to boot.

Can I not use a USB WiFi Adapter for this? Does this require the Broadcom PCIE thingy?

No, you can use any Bluetooth / WiFi-Dongle you want! Be sure thats its compatible with OSX!

I use this WiFi-Card because it works OOB!

You got it working? Thats great!

The last thing I did to my install was to extract the DSDT and SSDTs via Linux and compile them with iASL and Maciasl....Thanks to Rehabman for helping me!
But thats not necessary if don't want to fiddle around with that!

Yeah, I got it work, but it seems really..... Poor? I'm not sure. I can't boot without USB, which is irritating. I'm finding I can't get that Linux partition to actually register... It's not that huge of a deal. At this point though, I'm debating just going out an buying another MOBO with a WiFi Adapter. Seems ASrock MOBO's have issues with hackintoshes.. Gonna look through the golden build section a bit and see what I can find.

I've got no Audio, weird glitching, I'm not sure if my GTX 960 is actually working, since it seems the only way I can boot is with nv_disable=1, and my performance seems a little poor. That could just be me though because of the weird glitching when I load up Mac OS X.

What do you think I should do now? Get a new MOBO or try and make this work?

Poor performance is because of the missing web driver!
Just download and install the NVidia Web Drivers for the OS and set the bootflag to nvda_drv=1 The nv_disable=1 isn't necessary after installing the driver!
Booting without USB: Did you try the tutorial by KudosDonkey?

I can help you getting your system to work...Post screenshots from the Linux Live Partition from the exact steps you did and commands you entered in the prompt

Where do I put nada_drv=1? Could you post a screenshot of where?

 

[ElfinHilon10]

Also, the web driver has an issue with it atm because of the fact that mac os just updated.

1. Make sure you installed the webdrivers!
2. Check if the webdrivers are working by booting your system with nvda_drv=1
3. If you your card is fully detected, edit the config.plist from your clover install
