How to extend the iMac Pro to X99 [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

You are still with the Z370G as shown in your profile? Not sure if my EFI-Folder would work with this board without modifications..

Usually performing 1.) to 3.) is sufficient to successfully boot any X99 system..
I have also a X99 system just like yours, same board, same CPU (I have quite a fleet ;)) I just discovered what was that was preventing boot.. THE BIOS!... amazingly enough, I unlocked the bios with the procedure shown above (just like I have with my X299 system according to your directions), that was the last thing I had left to replace.. Loaded the original Bios into USB, re-flash and it now works.. There must be something wrong with patching tool on fresh installs.

I could send you the Bios I made if you'd like to give it a go? I managed to use it before I formatted to adopt new iMacPro system, but with fresh install, it wouldn't boot from M.2.. So weird
 
Somehow it looks like an EKWB product (silver logo) :)

on the page 1 you described that the Broadwell-E performance patch PMHeart needs to be changed for the X.13.6
so before the upgrade: it needs to be changed?

The 10.13.6 performance patch currently does not apply again. Please stay for now with 10.13.5, if you want to remain with working OC!

I won't update my guide until the 10.3.6 OC issue is again solved. BTW.. also no OC with 10.14 PB1 and the respective performance patch for now...

BTW...

From 13th to 22nd of July, I will be on holidays and largely unavailable.... some likely important information for all of you ;)

Also thank you kgb for helping us with iMacPro on x99, after porting my build to this SMBIOS it works flawlesly.

@dMatik,

hello,

Ive removed System parameters Option for Nvidia Web drivers. i tired updating the Lilu kext. I also set true on RadeonDeInit.
I tired Load Vbios option do to the xfx card. Still no luck. Any help you be great.
