8. Launch Clover Configurator. Rename EHC1 to EH01 and rename EHC2 to EH02.

I am trying to do this and must be missing something. I don't see those options in Clover - running v4.33.0. Same if I mount EFI or not. Screenshots attached any any advice appreciated..where do I find or enable that "list of patches".

 

[phrozenpenguin]

Ok, turns out that I was using the version (4.33.0) linked to from the downloads page - which is out of date. The auto update didn't work, but then I found the original download page and downloaded a newer version and the patch options appeared.

This one seems to have the low profile bracket included along with an internal antenna for Bluetooth:

Is there any alternative to these bulky antennas ? These antennas always get in the way of my other connections.
Oh wait I know. have some of these i have yet to take out of the box and use.
I think I will try them now.

I have also been tempted to try some of the flat style antennas. Please let us know how they are if you try them!!

Yes, those antenna that come with the broadcom Wifi adapter always come loose and fall over.
I always have to tie them up just to keep them to stay upright.

I think I am going to try the laptop antenna wires and stick them to the side of the case.

I found this Wifi card on the internet. It has the antenna connections fixed to the backplate on the card so you can keep the antenna tight and they will not come loose.

Maybe you can try messaging the seller to see if they have any low profile brackets available. The adaptors that I've purchased all included the low profile bracket even though it may not have been specifically stated in the listing.

I should have thought of that myself

If we understood each other correctly there is now one on the way with a short bracket instead of a tall one.

I did get exactly that, 2GB. My total came to about $98 before $20 Rebate.

I probably should've got the 4GB version; however, I wasn't sure about its compatibility (RX460, not the VRAM), and that is not on rebate factored into my decision choosing the 2GB.

I guess it'll do for now.

Do you get the boot to black screen problem with the RX460 that most people have with Radeon RX 400 series cards ? I know that these HP machines disable integrated graphics when a discrete card is installed. Most Radeon users therefore enable the igfx to get around this issue at boot up.

Hey everyone!!
I have a HP 8300 i7-3770 HD4000 and just installed 10.12.5 easily but my audio doesn't work. I feel liked I tried everything. Can someone direct me to a solution?

Have you tried Voodoo HDA or a USB audio adapter yet ?
