Stork's MyHero II Build: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z370 HERO X - i7-8700K - AMD RX 580 - Thunderbolt 3

Stork, would you please post a screen shot of you're "About This Mac". I'm seeing "Processor: 3.7 GHz Unknown"
 
I am accumulating parts for my build but cannot find the Fenvi FV-T919 WiFi/Bluetooth 4 PCIe Card. It hasn't been at Amazon for quite a while and I've been all over Ebay and Google but don't see the Fenvi. If you follow the link from post #1 Amazon now shows a different card which I understand will not work in the Hackentosh. There are probably substitutes or work arounds. Any advice?

We've noticed the T919 missing on Amazon with the Amazon link redirected to a lesser Fenvi model. (We've complained to Amazon over the past year for this practice to no avail.) There are other vendors that offer similar cards, like this one which is unfortunately out of stock, too. You'll just have to look at other solutions.

Speaking of other solutions, you can get one of the WiFi PCIe cards in the Buyer's Guide, Accessory section, and one of the Bluetooth USB dongles. I've used several of the TP-Link cards including the T9E, and I also have the GMYLE Bluetooth USB dongle (both on a Z87M motherboard based system). So, if you can't find one of the compatible WiFi/BT PCIe cards, you can go with the separate WiFi PCIe card and Bluetooth USB dongle.

Me, too. I think it's only a graphical thing that can be corrected in the config.plist. I know others who've corrected this type of thing using Clover Configurator.

If you have a link to this that would be great - difficult to Google for.
 
I updated my installation upgrade procedures in Post #57 to add the following after the MultiBeast Build/Install/reboot:
:ch: Upon rebooting, if you don't have audio, do the following:
:ch: Run MultiBeast again, just selecting the Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALC8xx > ALC1220;
:ch: Don't reboot, yet. In the Terminal, enter the following followed by a return and type in your Admin password:
Code:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/
:ch: Now reboot and you should have audio.​

We keep finding these bugs which is good news, actually.;)
 
@Stork I have pretty much the same setup.

Asus Maximus Hero X
Asus Strix RX580
Intel 8700k

I was able to follow your guide and get installed, I can boot, etc. My oddity is that if I change my SMBIOS to anything but 14,2 I get blank screens on boot. I use the usb stick to boot back into my system - swap back to 14,2 and all is well again. I have tried both 18,3 and ImacPro1,1

Any Ideas?

Interesting. I'm using iMac18,3 w/o any problems. Are you running High Sierra 10.13.4?
