[SUCCESS] ASUS Z270 ROG Maximus IX Hero - i7-7700K - 32GB RAM - Intel HD 630

[JCMunsonII]

I didn't meant FakeSMC.kext, which is meant for sensors.

FakePCIID family is used for different purposes, I just had a quick read here:
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID

I assume one would always need to use two kext's (or I didn't get what the main FakePCIID is for), like FakePCIID and FakePCIID_xyz. Since I don't require any of the kext's with `_xyz`, I don't think my build needs that particular kext at all (I also don't have a discrete GPU.

Ah, I sit corrected...

Shouldn't you need it for the Intel graphics to function (as you are not using a discrete GPU)?

Good questions.

I may have edited my RAM entry manually, so am not sure. As to the other, I have it set to 3200Mhz in BIOS (I don't know if that is a specific profile or not).

If you've overclocked your RAM you probably will need XMP set in the Config.

 

[JCMunsonII]

Hmmm... I hadn't needed it before...

@JCMunsonII

Here is what you can do to settle the XMP on your system.

- Disable it
- Reboot the system
- Go to upper left corner ( - About your Mac)
- Check if if it's still showing 3200Mhz

If I do that, mine will revert from 3000Mhz to 2133Mhz.

Regarding FakePCIID:
Well I'm using Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup kext's to boot. The full IGPU acceleration is ether comes with these two kext's or is now supported natively with 10.12.6.

I managed to make Audio to work without VoodooHDA.

If you want your build to become a golden build, you may be interested in fixing everything. However I'm not sure what's needed for a golden build, it's only my assumption

First make sure to backup `AppleHDA.kext` from S/L/E.

1. Use this script to detect your codec etc.:
   • https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/audio_codecdetect.command.zip

   • HDMI audio codec(s)
     Intel:    0x8086280b
     
     Onboard audio codec
     Device: Not supported
     Realtek: 0x10ec1220
     Name: Realtek ALC
     Audio ID: Not supported
     Current Audio ID: 1 (valid: 1, 2, or 3)

2. Use method 3.A from this guide:
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lake-audio-onboard-and-or-hd-6x0-hdmi.221618/
   • The script I used was: https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/audio_200_Series_hda-124_v1.0.command.zip
   • Note: do NOT edit the scripts `gDebug` to `1`, or the script will not work (took me ages to realize that). @toleda Maybe a bug?
3. Just in case use Kext Wizard to rebuild permission and kernel cache.
4. Reboot. (The audio will not yet work.)
5. Use this guide now to fix the issue:
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/audio-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.143757/#post886744
     
   • II. Realtek ALC AppleHDA Scripts - cloverALC/Beta - ALC1220S
     
   • https://github.com/toleda/audio_alc_test/blob/master/audio_cloverALC-1220-120.command.zip
   • Run the script, answer everything with Y.
6. Just in case use Kext Wizard to rebuild permission and kernel cache.
7. Reboot & Profit.

I will have a play with these next week - hopefully Monday. Thanks for the posts!

See the Users Build Template. Additionally, spelling, grammar and paragraph structure count for a lot since a lot of non English speaking users use a translator.

I am not concerned whether this makes a Golden Build or not, but, I do want to make sure it is done as properly as possible. And, the real bottom line, is if it helps someone, then it has done its job.

 

[Roboter]

Well golden builds might be cloned more often. Furthermore I haven't seen any 7700K golden builds yet.

Would you mind sharing your clover config.plist (you can remove serial numbers and such from the SMBIOS if you'd like). I tried to fix native PM. I also asked to confirm if I did everything correctly, which I apparently did, but my system does not stay in standby/sleep and keeps waking up (I also applied the fix you've mentioned in the original post). It would be helpful if I could compare with your settings and double check if I'd missed anything.

Better is to post in a new thread with your Clover folder (minus s/n & theme), plus IOReg output so the mods can help you. It isn't that I'm hiding anything here, this is just best practice to get your system working and help others with a similar issue to get it sorted. It may not be restricted to this build.
