Use CoreDisplayFixup.kext + Lilu.kext (assuming you have 4k display).
Your profile lacks details on your screen resolution. Please fix as per FAQ:

CoreDisplayFixup.kext did the trick and I've got graphics working fine.
Could you please help me with WiFi since it's broken due to a Clover upgrade ?

Once again many thanks for your help.

2. I updated clover to see if that fix the problem with Intel and now my WiFi doesn't work. For testing I tried to add HECI > IMEI rename but it didn't help.
..
Please see attached files needed for troubleshooting.

Problems:
- your ioreg shows truncated SMBIOS. You need config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/DellSMBIOSPatch=true
- config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/ForceKextsToLoad is only for pre-install (as per guide). Remove.
- config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Fixes/FixUSB_1000 is not appropriate for your hardware. Remove.
- update Clover to latest RehabMan build
- you have incorrect patches for AirPortBrcm4360. Remove: "AirPortBrcm4360 - PCI Error 2", "AirPortBrcm4360 - PCI Error 3", "AirPortBrcm4360 - PCI Error 1"

Hello Rehabman,

Done as you suggested and WiFi is still not available.
Also I notice in the Intel Power Gadget that CPU is using too much power and it's not downscaling frequency and it stays above 2GHz without any cpu load. Back on 10.12.5 I had it working using ssdPRGen.sh script. Do I need to re-apply this in 10.12.6 ?

Thank you kindly for your help.

According to clover site https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/tickets/423/ you need to change AirPortBrcm4360 to com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360 in your config.plist file. Personally I've tried it but it made no difference.

It worked fine for me. Thanks a lot !

That's what I've got in config.plist so maybe it will help you too.

Your config.plist is corrupt:

NUC6i7KYK:Downloads rehabman$ plutil -lint /Users/rehabman/Downloads/Archive/CLOVER/config.plist 
/Users/rehabman/Downloads/Archive/CLOVER/config.plist: Found non-key inside <dict> at line 217

Hello Rehabman,

I don't understand what's wrong with it. I checked line 217 and it all looks ok. There's a <false/> referencing to KernelCpu key. Any idea what's wrong ? System boots up correctly.

Hello Rehabman,

I don't understand what's wrong with it. I checked line 217 and it all looks ok. There's a <false/> referencing to KernelCpu key. Any idea what's wrong ? System boots up correctly.

The mistake is prior to line 217.
Note:

        <key>ForceKextsToLoad</key>
        <key>KernelCpu</key>
        <false/>

Two "key" tags in a row is wrong.
Remove the line "<key>ForceKextsToLoad</key>".

And from now on, only use a plist editor (Xcode, or PlistEdit Pro) to edit your config.plist.
Never use a text editor (too easy to make mistakes).
