erik's "Tiny But Mighty" HTPC: ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac - i5-8400 - UHD 630 Graphics - High Sierra

OK, I'm up and running. This thing is amazingly fast - 25160 multi-core Geekbench score!

Next is the Broadcom wifi/BT card.

My case fan is running on high speed. Suggestions for getting it down?

 

[Connie Mac]

Hmm. I just discovered I have no audio. ALC892, right? Reinstalled with Multibeast but still nothing. Connected to my display by DisplayPort and tried headphones connected to the front panel.

That'a a good geekbench score as high as a Dual xeon , 12-core, 32-thread , Mac Pro 2012.

Amazing Build! Does Retina display work with this build?

What display do you have in mind?

 

[Connie Mac]

Erik, I'm struggling with audio. I selected ALC892 in Multibeast, then copied over your download files AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext, plus RehabMan's CodecCommander.kext to EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other, then Repaired Disk in Disk Utility. But a reboot has no audio device in System Preferences > Sound panel. Audio was already set to 1 in my config.plist file. Any suggestions? TIA.

I was thinking about one of those 4K Dell monitors

 

[Connie Mac]

It should drive a 4k display but I haven't tried it.

Hi! excellent build! I made the same but using the Fatality version of the motherboard Asrock cause I need the Thunderbolt 3 port for the adapter TB3 to thunderbolt2... do you know if there is any compatibility problem with this?

Nice build Erik. Great write up too!
