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

[flymovies]

1.) Unfortunately, the 34wk95u-w does not support Titan Ridge capabilities and therefore only can be used as an end point TB device, no daisy chaining and therefore also no second TB port on the monitor.

2.) To know how to successfully drive the monitor at full resolution under macOS via DP1.4 see e.g. post #11097, #11099.

3.) TB3 Tests with the GC-Titan Ridge should have been kicked-off by 9th November 2018, see post #11270.

If you do not succeed, I am sure @flymovies can help..

Good luck,

KGP

I am back! Sorry it took a while, but I was on a business trip and will only have a few hour at home, before. I have to go on travels again until Monday.

However @kgp, good news! The CG Titan Ridge has arrived and is installed in Slot 4. It is properly connected (without USB header though for now) and it has been activated in the BIOS.

I have attached my EFI folder - please don't judge me on the DSDT.aml implementations (I did not do them) and the folder structure itself - it will be certainly full of errors, which is why I would need your help please to get this structured so I can get the CG Titan Ridge working and tell you guys about compatibility with the LG 5k2k screen running on TB3.

Note the serial numbers have been removed from the configuration and it contains a fresh DSDT.aml dump (F4) from Clover.

Please also provide an IOREG.save of your original ACPI table without any SSDT in your EFI-folder. Without that information I cannot help or provide anything.

First of all thanks for your guide. I have two hackintoshes with your guide. That they worked OK for a while

But I have some trouble now. Two of them shuts down on start up, on apple logo.
With -v I saw something like this: hfs: unmount initiated on "MyDiskName" on device b(1,3).

I have two ssd's(windows,hackintosh) and two hdd's(ntfs, hfs).
But I decide to do both of hdds as ntfs because I have some trouble with hfs(Some folders created automatically and I couldn't delete them(I think their name is something like "msi68e5b.tmp" folders))

But I noticed that when I format hfs hdd(from windows) as ntfs, the hackintosh can't boot and shuts down on apple logo..

Can you help me please?

Here we go with the Ioregistryexplorer file. I hope this helps. Note, however, I will need to enable en0 again for compatibility issues with 10.14.1 again: When I updated from 10.14 to 10.14.01 in order to making the F4-dump, en0 was disabled and the 10bg Asus card showed up as en5. This has messed up my iMessage functionality and I am working hard-core to get it back to working

I am online and ready to help! Actually we could get on a Webex, if I can somehow invite you. I have like 45 mins of time to test this now.
