[Almost Success] Z170 Pro Gaming + i7-6700 + GTX 1050Ti

[Sakurako]

Hello, This is my first post
I do a clean install for High Sierra.
And reinstalled 6 times.. (problem w/ NVIDIA Web Driver)
Finally I resolved the problem..

Yeah!

My System:
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming BIOS: 3501
Intel Core i7-6700
Kingston DDR4-2400 8GB HyperX Fury *2
MSI GamingX GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

I have 1 SSD (Windows), 1 HDD (For High Sierra), 1 HDD (For Sierra 10.12.5)
Storage:
Intel 600P 128GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Windows 10)
WD 1TB Blue SATA3 HDD (Store DATA & Games)
WD 640GB Blue SATA2 HDD (Hackintosh High Sierra)
Seagate 160GB 7200rpm SATA2 HDD (Hackintosh Sierra 10.12.5)

ok,
Here is my Step for install High Sierra..
1. Download High Sierra Installation from App Store, and Make High Sierra Boot USB by Thermal, and Install Clover Bootloader r4220 into it. (don't forget copy fakeSMC.kext into Clover\kexts\Other folder)
2. Boot into the installation, create partition on 640GB Western Digital HDD w/ HFS+ format.
3. Install it and wait it done.
4. Finish your macOS Setup.
5. You should booted into the System, now install Clover Bootloader w/ these option.

6. Put fakeSMC.kext into High_Sierra_Disk/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/, and do a restart to test bootloader is working or not.
(if you can't boot from disk, please boot from USB and select High Sierra Disk to boot back to system, and install the bootloader again.)

Graphics Driver:
1. Go Clover Configuration, Load your config.plist, and select "RT variables" in the sidebar.
(Turn On The SIP function)
2. now write the CsrActiveConfig hex code on the paper or save as a text, then change th value to 0x0, then save your config.plist.

3. Reboot your System, and Install "WebDriver-378.10.10.10.15.114.pkg".
4. When you installed the driver (don't click restart), you will get a pop-up, it says Extension Blocked or something else, now just click Allow "NVIDIA Corporation" On System Performances -> Security -> General Tab.
5. Go the Clover Configuration again, then write the CsrActiveConfig hex code back to Clover Default.
(my default is 0x3E7, this step is restore it back to original security mode)

now click restart, and the graphics driver should be working.

and Get a beautiful desktop on your desktop!

PS*: According NVIDIA driver page, they says there no CUDA driver for macOS High Sierra, so you might wait the CUDA driver release to using CUDA applications.

ALC1150 Audio:
1. Mount your EFI partition by Clover Configuration or other apps
2. Run toleda's audio_cloverALC-130.command (Link)
3. Reboot, Your audio should be working properly!
PS: front panel Jack is not working for me, it has sounds but too noisy.
Ethernet:
I'm sorry, I don't have Cable Networking in my house, so I can't test the onboard Intel Network Card is working or not..
I'm using D-Link DWA-125 USB Stick (rev.D1, Chipset is RTL8188ETV), the driver is from Realtek Website
but the driver download link looks gone..
The original package is on attached files, if you need, just install and try it.

So this is a little Store about my Hackintosh Build High Sierra!

Have fun in Hackintosh World!
My build boot up!

You mean you can't go to installation or boot into HDD/SSD?
If you can't get in macOS installation, check UEFI Settings.
If you using USB 3.0 USB stick and put it into USB 3.0 port, try put it into USB 2.0.

here is my config.plist

Maybe it's UEFI BIOS Settings problem, Did you changed any setting on BIOS?

I have the same problem, updated the system yesterday from 10.12.3 and it keeps restarting. I thought it is a problem with a NVidia driver (there is not a Web Driver for 10.13.2) but it keeps restarting on boot in verbose mode (-v) and with disabled NVidia drivers (nv_disable=1). I tried the single user mode (-s) and the system boots under root in shell, than I have to press CTRL+D, to logout from the single user mode. Suddenly the GUI loads and work everything except the NVidia card.
My card is 1060.
