Thanks very much. Unfortunately, BT is still lagging. I have a Broadcom BCM94352Z that is supposed to be 100% compatible with Apple's driver. Pretty frustrating. Any other suggestions?

Sorry I don't think I'll be much help since we don't have the same hardware. Perhaps someone who does can help ya?
 
Hi all!
Thank you Erik for such a great build.
Brand-new in Hackintoshing, and reading through the entire thread is scaring me... :D Any first-time tips would be greatly appreciated!
I'm also thinking of doing this build, but using an ASRock Z370 Killer SLI/ac. Has anyone tried that, and what are the experiences?
For the installation, I'm still a little unsure on what to do. For Erik's specs (Z370m-itx/ac), when I use UniBeast would I choose UEFI or Legacy Boot Mode?
Also @erik do you have your SSDTs attached somewhere?
Still a complete noob around here. Thank you for any help!

... but using an ASRock Z370 Killer SLI/ac ...

Most evident to me, the given build is mITX, and the board you are looking at is ATX. It won't even fit in the case. Do they otherwise have identical chipsets everywhere? Well, you'd have to do the digging.

Some years ago I tried my first Hackintosh, and made one substitution from the the given recipe. I figured, "that'll surely work." When I had issues, I was never sure if it was because I did it different.

If you're a total computer geek, and don't mind spending some time hacking on your Hack to get something working, feel free to try stuff. But if you just want to set it up and be primarily a user of it, beware of departing from the script.

YMMV but that was my experience.
 
is this for your Coffee Lake build?
Yes, with the board described in post 1 of this thread (ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac) but with the 65w i7 processor.

Hmmm, post your EFI folder and also a screenshot of your /Library/Extensions/
 
OK, they're attached.

Thanks very much for the look-over.

So, I know it’s not super important to the build but was wondering if folks would confirm what flavors/brands of RAM they used specifically. The Amazon link goes to HyperX RAM and not Ripjaws V. Even though I feel pretty good around all sorts of hardware, RAM with its latency, buffer, speed, voltage variables still makes me nervous. I looked at the Asrock supported memory list but just wanted to hear firsthand what you all used in this or similar builds on the Asrock mini ITX board—thanks!
