How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

Thanks, you're right. I'll try it with KernelToPatch disabled flag removed, I was missing that part.
The back of my mainboard looks like below and doesn't have a flashback reset button. On the specifications page it says 4 x USB 2.0 (one port can be switched to USB BIOS Flashback) but there's nothing regarding this in the manual. So while I patched 1301 I wasn't able to apply it via EZ Flash (obviously).


Thanks for the pointers, I saw the HD7870 on the list of supported devices, I might consider getting proper hackintosh hardware if it doesn't work with the mainboard and core_scope patch.

o.k., I see... anyway, firmware 1401 does not require any patching.. Thus, flash it in the BIOS and disable MSR LOCK.

After initial tests with my USB audio converter, I can see pretty high CPU load around 3-4% even with large buffers (256/512 samples).
The same audio converter used 0-1% with the same settings in Sierra X99 system with less powerfull CPU.
I have not applied any USB tweaks after 10.13.5 installation. Is those recommended tweaks from the guide capable to help getting lower CPU load for low latency Core audio in audio applications? Thank you in advance

High CPU loads around 3-4%? You are kidding man, don't you? A high CPU load for me is 80-99%.. 3-4% is within the noise, sorry. What for do you have a CPU? Let it work...

BT audio has been a mess for me, I learned to live with it. For some weird reason I had no BT audio issues on my previous Hackintosh and the one before that.

I went to System Pref > General > Allow Handoff and turned it off and it seemed to have helped after doing some terminal commands for BT audio (If you're interested I'll write it out).

Otherwise if this thing starts stuttering again I'm just going to take out the OSXWifi card and just use the cheap USB dongle.

Don't know if it's a coincidence, but since installing the working Vega SSDT and the AGPM enabler, BT is much better. Not perfect however, it still cut out from time to time.
The annoying thing is to connect the headset however, I must have the headset right next to the antenna. After that it works fine away from the antenna,

It’s basically AGPM that removed my BT magic mouse stutter... however I did never face any BT audio issues with my OSXWIFI...

Do you know what the changes are? Always difficult to find what the changes are with new Clover releases. Wish they had a proper complete change log.

Clover >/=4518 is compatible with 10.14
Clover >/=4548 implements now ApfsDriverLoader.efi and makes apsf.efi obsolete.
Clover 4558 also provides ApfsDriverLoader.efi for Legacy..

I for the likes of me can't figure out this cause it causes my system to lock up and brings up a KP error on boot..

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f8a1ef5fb): NVRM[0/101:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000144: CFG 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff, BAR0 0xd7000000 0xffffffa3cfa71000 0x137000a1, D0, P0/3

what can it be?

I guess nobody here will be able to tell you what is the reason for your problem based on this information...
