I've used it as my primary machine since building it and its been very stable. I probably spent 20 hours on it between assembly, OS installs, driver configuration, and general tinkering.

I did make a few changes since the guide -
  • Replaced the 1070 ti with an AMD RX 570 so I wouldn't have to wait for Nvidia driver updates after patches.
  • Upgraded to 48 GB RAM. I run network storage simulations and actually ran out of RAM at 32.
  • Replaced the Corsair brand case fans with a pair of quieter Noctuas.

Please update your OP to reflect these updates. TIA.

I updated the OP. Is there any way to change the subject of the post? It has the 1070 Ti in it rather than the RX 570.

Edit: Never mind, I figured out out to change the title.

Thanks!
 
Have you had any issues with your 1070 Ti?

Just the usual having to wait for Nvidia Web Driver updates before applying system updates.

Since we're not telepathic, we need to know your system components. See the tonymacx86 Forum Rules & Policies on signature block components.

Additionally, please provide complete details in your Profile.

Mobo: motherboard manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model (e.g., i7-4770K)
Graphics: Video card manufacturer/model and/or Intel Integrated Graphics version (e.g., HD4600)

See my Profile items to the left of my post, under my name.

By completing your Profile and signature block, you help us help you better. :thumbup:
 
Looks like you didn't enable iGPU, this will cause Quick-sync problems and overall GPU performance degradation.
I have this motherboard with an RX580, so i have experience.

Also, Madl0n created a DSDT for me, you can use it aswell, for native sleep and quick APFS booting.

@Lepus48, thanks for your detailed explanation,
Tomorrow I get the AUS Strix Z370-F Board and a i7-8700K to migrate from an ASUS Z170 deluxe with i7-6700K to this new config.

Could you please tell us what Firmware-Version your Board is using, just in case one must up- or downgrade to get it working like you. Eventually the RAM-placement problem gets fixed with a Firmware upgrade too(i have 2 16/3200 Sticks)?

Are you on High Sierra 10.13.3?

Thanks,
-- Bernie
