Could you please elaborate on what you did to make the installation work, or which guide you followed? I can't get into the installation and I think it's because of some BIOS settings.

Okay so I got it all working. Thanks for your EFI config, was helpful after setup. I just can't get sleep to work. Did you make any other changes than just the DSDT?

Hi there Lumion, I have a similar set-up - I can't seem to locate the zip file?

** please disregard - they were right in front of me the whole time **

@chemicle, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Sorry to res this thread... About to do the same motherboard install.

When looking at an older install guide (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-sierra-asrock-x99-extreme4-mini-guide.207371/), they had these steps that aren't in yours. Any thoughts on them? Specifically the VoodooTSCSync.kext and the bootflags?

Then you are going to navigate into EFI > Clover > KEXT folder and add a folder named 10.12. Here you will add a FakeSMC.kext from RehabMan-FakeSMC-2016-0908. Also add NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, AppleIntelE1000e.kext and X99_Injector USB 3.kext.
Optionally you can add a VoodooTSCSync.kext for multi-core CPUs. (Tonymacx86 kext download page has a few)

...

Since you're inside the EFI partition, let's add a few bootflags into the Config.plist file located at the EFI > CLOVER folder.
You'll need to add the flags -v, dart=0, darkwake=0, npci=0x03000

Code (Text):
<key>Arguments</key>
<string>-v dart=0 darkwake=0 npci=0x3000</string>​
