FYI - It's possible to get a fully functional High Sierra install running on this hardware but there's a little drama (re:usb and nvidia drivers) getting there. See this post for all the details.

Yes indeed. I have a test partition running 10.13.3 on this build with everything working. Thunderbolt, USB ports with proper power injection, thunderbolt, quicksync, etc. I'm going to do a full build guide when I have time, but I might attempt to unclock MSR Ex02 on this MB first and see if it works or not

Besides potentially being able to uncheck KernelPm in clover configurator, for us noobs, what does unclocking MSR Ex02 mean? What would be gained? Thanks

Native PM is all I know of (but there might be more?) I became interested in it because I switched drivers from OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi to Aptiomemoryfix.efi and vit9696 (the author) recommends it. That said, not sure if the risk is worth the reward...

Interesting... never heard of Aptiomemoryfix.efi. I currently use OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi for working NVRAM and to get the Nvidia drivers to load after rebooting. OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi + EmuVariableUefi-64.efi works as well.

Does OSXAptioFix3 enable the use of lastbootedvolume and timeout in the clover boot menu? (EmuVariableUefi doesn't I believe)

Not sure, how would I test those?

They're clover options lastbootedvolume applies if you have a dual boot system (it will default to whatever you last chose to boot from) and timeout is a delay at the clover boot screen that will boot the selected disk after a specific period of time if there is no intervention from the user. See below to set in clover configurator. I'll also try using OSXAptioFix3 myself but so far I'm fine with APtiomemoryfix (Except it seems to hang the OSX boot the first time after an Win10 boot?)

Yes, both work! I changed Timeout from the default (3) to 10 and changed Default Boot Volume to LastBootedVolume. Booting into High Sierra and Windows 10 then restarting, clover always remembered and had the last booted volume selected.

I switched to using AptioInputFix.efi and AptioMemoryFix.efi. Everything still works good! According to Monewbo on r/hackintosh

Disable iGPU in the BIOS
Do you have more than 1 display connected to your nVidia card? If you do, enable CSM.
Make sure your Aptiofixes are good.

The old way with emulated NVRAM.
EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi

Better option with working NVRAM
OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi

The best and latest hotness. XD
AptioInputFix.efi
AptioMemoryFix.efi

The very latest Clover Configurator has options for adding and removing the latest OsxAptiofix(es). It's under Install Drivers.

If you get it working with the newer Aptiofixes (and without EmuVariable), and were using rc scripts prior, delete nvram.plist from everywhere you see it. Usually found on the root of EFI or main volume of drives. And delete /etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local
