[Update] Sierra on the Skylake H170N-WIFI

[pensphreak]

I'm having a problem upgrading from El Capitan to Sierra (same problem when trying to install Sierra directly). I get the attached panic when I reboot into the Sierra installer (or first reboot after a Sierra direct install)

Did You install 530 graphics in Multibeast? Check your BIOS and make sure that you have at least IGPU
Video Memory is set to at least 64. I have mine bumped up to 128 and it works well.

I already had Multibeast setup, but I bumped the memory from the default of 32MB to 128MB. Now I don't get a kernel panic, but it causes my display to lose the signal about halfway through the boot up

Is there any sort of consensus on what is the best WiFi card for this motherboard for Sierra? I have heard varying things and I know most people are using the BCM94352Z or the BCM94352. Which one seems to work better with Sierra on this mobo?

Edit: Also, is the WiFi card slot for this motherboard A keyed or E keyed? I see a couple different WiFi cards under the name BCM94352Z that have either 1 notch or 2 notches. Do either of them work?

Personally I have used the below card and it works flawlessly without any issues. Bluetooth and wifi works!!

Please look at this part of the video (29m 50seconds) where i have added the entry for the wifi/bluetooth device.

I have a problem. Sometimes after restart, I have a black screen and the GPU fans are running high. The only solution is that I have to reset the bios, and after that the hackintosh is working fine.
This time it happened as I booted from the recovery partition, the machine freezed. I rebooted it and I got the black screen and the GPU fans at 100%

what could this be?

Can you please post your config.plist? Also a screenshot of your clover configurator of your Graphics and boot tab please?

It been three months since the original post. Is there a fix for graphical artifacts on the menu bar and sleep problems with HD530 integrated graphics? Thank you!
