pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Did you try using my EFI folder?

Beeing lazy, trying your EFI folders was one of the first things I did - without success though. Systems crashes in the middle of the boot. Maybe it was because of the memory configuration, which I was not aware of at that time. I am using 4 4GB Crucial modules with 2400 MHZ, so it it differnet to yours. But enabling CSM really did the trick with my GTX 980ti and dual monitors.

Hi! I have your instructions below and have also built a Hacki! I'm not a big pro in the Hackintoch area, but it has almost "out of box" with their EFI folder for AMD worked out.

Asus STRIX370-G only without Wi fi Latest BIOS 0606

32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400

Same PCI-e SSD

Still 2 TB crusial 400 SATA SSD

Still 512 Intenso SATA SSD as backup for carbon copy

Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8 gig

Dell 27-Inch 4K via DisplayPort monitor.

ViewSonic 27 inches Full-HD via DVI monitor. Everything works fine, just gave a few kext to it. Display Port audio also goes, slip and wake, turn off, iMessage. Adobe CC 2018 full package and Final Ccut latest version works flawlessly with full hardware acceleration, open CL and Apple Metal. I also have Sierra over AppStore to latest version updated-Flawless.

Do not have a BT-WiFi card, but it comes.

have also tried their USB AML. and DSL. Use files, but unsuccessful, all USB ports work as before, nothing has been turned off. Aml. and DSL. Files have been copied to folder “patched”. Did something wrong? Later also post EFI folder. How can I make a donation to you as thank? Sorry for my BAD English

See this section:

1. Rename Strix Z370 USB ports.aml to SSDT-USB.aml.
2. Copy SSDT-USB.aml to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/.
3. Open your config.plist with Clover Configurator and go to Boot section, Custom Flags.

• If you will be using M.2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card, enter "uia_exclude=HS08;HS09;HS10;HS11;HS12;HS13;HS14;SS07;SS08;SS09;SS10"

• If you use a PCI-e Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, you will need to change the uia_exclude list. Add HS07 to the list and remove HS12 or HS14 depending on which internal USB2 header you will use.

When you are done, you can remove the 15 port limit patch in your config.plist. Kernel and Kext Patches section, KextsToPatch.​

all worked, thank you very much! how can i thank you?

No need. Lol. Just enjoy your new hackintosh.

Wow - it's working!!! Enabling CSM did the trick - thanks a lot! CSM was disabled, as I was following this build description. With CSM enabled I can boot with both screens connected to my GTX 980ti.

Sweet, glad it worked, I'm not sure why so many guides tell us to disable CMS. I've always kept them enabled because the boot screens would be out of whack otherwise. Of course I've only built two hacks now so I can't say if it's one of those things that more-than-likely will give people trouble.

Hi! I have a strange problem I build a system following your instructions with Z370-e, everything works quite well, however one of the chassis fan doesn't work after OS loads, I can see it in BIOS and it is working while the system loads, but after that it stops and doesn't work in any scenario. I would appreciate any help.

As far as I know, the fans are entirely controlled by the BIOS. I don't think macOS any control of the fans on a hackintosh. The "Qfan Control" of BIOS is where you set fan behavior.

Have you checked how the fans act when running a different operating system?

No I didn't, may need to try this latter. I also thought that it should be totally controlled by BIOS, but even if I setup the fan to always work at 100%, it still stops when Mac OS loads

Hmm... That's weird... I really don't know much more regarding the fans. In the builds I've put together, the fans have always ramped up and down based on CPU load. The only thing that I can think of is maybe an incompatibility with the FakeSMC Sensors...
