Hi everyone!

Just a quick post from my phone to let everyone know I’ve successfully installed OSX with a Gigabyte Z370n WiFi mini-ITX mobo and 8th gen, coffee lake 8700K Core i7 processor.

At this point I’ve succcessfully booted to Mac OS X, without custom boot loader settings. Since I don’t have time this weekend, I will post some pictures of the case and all the settings next week, as I will configure I/O and GTX 1060 then.

Greets, LS

Hi Longshot,

I have the same board, also with 8700K and Vega 64. Is the second Ethernet port working in your system ?

Hi Galileo,

I’ve not yet had the time to test; unfortunately! I’ll have some updates this week as I’ll work through multibeast debugging process and kext installs.

Will keep you posted!

Hi LongShot,

I managed it :)
Downloaded the kexts AppleIntelE1000e.kext and AppleIGB.kext from https://sourceforge.net/projects/osx86drivers/files/Kext/Snow_or_Above/ and added to EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other.
Now Ethernet works fine, both.
Also Audio is working fine.

But I still have two issues with USB:
1. USB type C is not working
2. When I plug in a USB drive, then it isn't recognised immediately. I first have to pull it a little bit. Then it works. This is strange, because I don't have to pull for example my Clover Boot Stick at boot. It's recognised in boot options without any problem. But same stick won't work , when plugin in in OS X. First pull a little bit, then its working.

Any idea why ? I had same Problem on another board, so it must be something different then a board issue, right ?

I'd be happy to post my EFI, after I'm able to boot in OSX again (clover time-out issues..)

Let me know if this would be of any help.

Using only iGPU, has anyone manage to have sleep/resume works on this board?
I plan to connect the build to a tv.

This would be a great help
 
Any update on this? Have the same board and I can't get Clover to recognize the installer, so can't even install... hoping your EFI directory may solve this?
