Well, I did take a look numerous times and I don't see anything. 'patch-name.git' directory doesn't even sound like an actual directory. If it is then it most certainly over my head.

Directory where 'patch_nvme.sh' is located was the first place I looked in. That file is in my Downloads folder. As you can see it's not in there:

At this point I'm not sure where else I can look.

I suppose I could try using your HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_6.kext. I'm not sure if the fact that you have a different mobo will make it obsolete for my use.

From your picture I would say that the corresponding file is HackrNVMeFamilyInjector.kext .... I don't know why its termed differently in your case though!

@kgp
Count on me

Give me few hours for dl the high Sierra install and will let you know

I expect a lot of this nvidia driver and also Managing finally 2 titan X and my 2699v4
I mean all users of titan x or dual titan x and a Xeon:
have problems to boot at 100%
(From my side i need to choose between HT or full dual nvidia acceleration)
Maybe high Sierra final version consider lot of threads natively?

Cross fingers and will let you know on your other thread

@kgp , I am using your instruction to build my ASUS X99 for Sierra, and can you suggest what is the best way to upgrade to High Sierra?

Well I still miss to implement the Upgrade option from 10.12.6 to 10.13 in my Broadwell-E/EP (Haswell-E/EP)/X99 macOS High Sierra 10.13 Desktop Guide. However, the procedure is very similar to the one described for upgrading from an early version of macOS High Sierra 10.13 to the most actual version of macOS High Sierra 10.13.

I am stuck. Intel Power Gadget either shows 2.3 or 2.6 depending if I enable or disable Intel Speed Step.. I tried Bramber's PMDrv as well. but nothing really works. Had a couple Radom reboots today when I tried to get IMESSAGE going. I was successful in generating the serial number and clearing it, but could not log on. So it just seems that while I have a bootable 20 core Mac, I can't get past the basic things.

Have a look to the ThunderboltEX 3 Instructions E.5) being part of my Skylake-X/X299 macOS High Sierra 10.13 Desktop Guide. All instructions should be also valid for X99 and 10.12.6.

Thanks for pointing me to your guide. It looks even more comprehensive than this one. However, I still haven't been able to get my Thunderbolt device recognized in Sierra so far. I've tried various Bios settings and tried installing the card into every single PCI_e slot as well.

The question I have is: Do I need to have an active Windows installation alongside Os X installation even after everything was setup in Windows? I mean, I've installed Windows to download and install Thunderbolt drivers. Once I was done with all of that and verified that Thunderbolt port was active in Windows, I've used that same drive for a Sierra installation. So I currently do not have Windows installed on the machine, only Sierra. That should be fine, right?

After updating 10.12.5 -> 10.12.6 I loose all my Front USB 3.0 ports.
In 10.12.5 all USB ports work as expected - perfect. Now, I can't mount flash/drive on Front USB3.0 port. Front USB2.0 works fine.
Also, in System report, USB section I have:
There was an error while gathering this information.
How can I find whats broken? I need somehow fix it.
May be 10.12.6 needs different patches or kext?

Go straight and upgrade to High Sierra, this may/probally will fix it (I think so)

I can't do that. It's my working station and most of the software are not supported yet. 10.13.4-10.13.5 is high probability for upgrade, but not yet.
The only way to restore all ports with X99_Injector USB 3.kext is to downgrade back to 10.12.5?
