pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Solved now. I had HS07 disabled like you mentioned. Disabled HS14 since I do not plan on using the internal headers. I was curious if there were any specific reasons HS07 was disabled instead of HS14? Concerned disabling HS14 will cause another problem to pop up down the line. Thank you for the suggestion, glad it works.

If you don't have anything plugged in to the internal headers, disabling the port will do no harm.
 
Sadly and annoyingly I'm yet to start installing macOS. I want to have everything running and in place on windows first to make sure everything works come the time to hack.

I always install macOS first. Lol. I'm much more comfortable with macOS and Windows is always a source of frustration for me.
 
I love how far this thread has come! Amazing. I've been rocking out with my HighSierra 10.13.2 since this thread had roughly 10 pages or so, it's been very stable for me. However, soon I will start updating and referring to this thread as I go. @pastrychef Thank you again for being so involved in your build and updating us along the journey :D

Btw, did you or anyone else (that has a z370-G) notice way back then if you were being limited/throttled on your speeds via LAN port? I always get no more than 80mbps on my Hackintosh meanwhile I get 260+ on my other PC that's connected to the same switch. I know there has been driver updates which I haven't updated yet but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. I don't want to update anything before I get a little more time on my hands to read through the thread and make sure everything goes smoothly.

I had it once or twice. Poor NIC performance about 100Mbit instead of 1Gbit. I noticed it transferring files to or from nas. It has something to with the offload / flow control setting. Go to Settings : network : Ethernet : advanced : Hardware : Is "Automatically" with options chosen: "full-duplex, flow-control, energy-efficient-ethernet" change it to "Manual" with options "full-duplex, energy-efficient-ethernet". That did the trick for me.

If you guys have time, please try switching to the RehabMan fork of IntelMausiEthernet.kext to see if it runs better for you. If it does, I may switch to it in the next release of the EFI folders.

See this thread, post #1, paragraph 3.

With Mojave less than a week away, I would recommend just waiting for that.

Thanks, bro. Just to clarify, I'll need to use MacBookPro15,1 or MacBookPro15,2 SMBIOS with 17G2112 or can I still use the iMac18,2 SMBIOS?
 
Another question. I'm running the installinstallmacos.py but the 17G2112 is not an option

# ProductID Version Build Title
1 091-95774 10.13.6 17G2208 macOS High Sierra

My actual SMBIOS is iMac18,2

Use the MacBook system definitions.
 
Hey Chef!

I have one more tiny problem.
My Hak doesn't sleep automatically and display doesn't turns off. Here is pmset -g assertions output.

Seems that coreaudio is preventing Idleisplaysleep and idlesystemsleep.

If I force it to sleep it will sleep.

Yeah. Looks like it's audio related. Check what PID 13162 is. You can find out by looking at Activity Monitor.

Are you using SSDT for USB?
