[Success] b1's "Mac Mini Killer" with macOS Mojave: i7-8700 | Gigabyte Z370N | RX560 | 16GB RAM

Run the script and show me the results.

the problem of sleep seems to be solved.i used your EFI file,then made some changes to them.
the problem of SMBIOS:
IMac 18, 3 models don't seem to fit my device.this model configuration will make my screen flicker(IMac 18,2 also),i don't know why this happened. so I modified it to iMac18, 1 or Mac mini8, 1.the screen flickers without it.

the problem of sleep:
when I didn't modify the model.using darkwake = 2, my machine can wake up after sleep.after I modified the model configuration, this will not work.so I try one by one,finally I found two configurations that I can use.( darkwake = no or darkwake)，modified to one of the values, my device sleep problem is solved.for this, i am still confused,i don't know why.

my computer components are very similar to yours:

Motherboard : Gigabyte z370n-wifi (BIOS:F10)
CPU : i5-8500
CPU cooler ：Noctua NH-L9i
Computer case ：E-mini-H80
WIFI-Bluetooth: BCM94360CS2
RAM ： G.Skill 16GB
SSD: Samsung SM951 512GB / Samsung 970 EVO

New Mac mini 8.1 is the best SMBIOS option for HD630. We found out this last week.

You didn't provide the script output. So I can comment nothing about your sleep.

I run the command file :he gave me this tip:

Got Clover install at /Volumes/Untitled/EFI/CLOVER (disk0s1)

Locating serial for obfuscation...
Getting Clover info from /Volumes/Untitled/EFI/CLOVER...
Something went wrong!
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6710: ordinal not in range(128)

Done!

What program are you guys using to monitor temperatures? I have been using the latest (2018-0915) FakeSMC and HWMonitor, but I have experiencing two issues:

1. The disk temperatures are never updated (I have to quit and reopen HWMonitor to get updated temperatures);
2. The Thermal Zone temperatures are always the same, stuck at: 7C, 28C and 30C. See the attached image.

I'm on bios F10. Anyone else experiencing this?

Have the same situation with iStat Menus.

Did you mount EFI folder before running the script?

@b166ar, it used to work properly, right? I'm thinking here that the culprit was the F10 bios. But I cannot tell for sure because I updated the BIOS and reinstalled the whole system right after it.

I'm on F10, using iStatMenus and with fake sensors. My SSD temps do vary pretty much as expected (pic).

But the thermal zone temps are the same as you & B1.

One more thing: does anyone get fast iPhone charging with this motherboard's USB ports?

Both the front and rear ports can only deliver 500mA on my hack (according to System Information), while the USB3.0 ports on my MacBook Pro are able to deliver 900mA. It makes a big difference actually.

Do you remember if the temperature readings used to work on the F9 bios? Since the only (apparent) change on F10 is the support to recent processors, I would be willing to go back to F9 if I'm sure the temperature readings are ok in that version.
