Total Plug and Play.

Did you test this in a x1 slot ? Does BT work for you in that ?

No...
The next time I open the Computer, I will try...

HI CaseySJ,
I'm planning for my second Gigabyte Z390 Designare build.
However, I'm using my Nvidia GTX 1080 TI from a previous build, which means I have to go on High Sierra instead.
Would this combo work with your guide?

These results vindicate the RX580. I was worried that this particular model might have a problematic VBIOS, but that does not appear to be the case. I would like to audit your configuration before speculating about next steps. To that end, would you please upload:

• Compressed CLOVER folder (you may remove Serial Numbers from SMBIOS).
• Screenshot of /Library/Extensions folder.
• IORegistry dump (simply run IORegistryExplorer and select File --> Save As...).

Here you go Casey...

I've since changed to Macmini8,1 including generating a new Serial Number and SmUUID. I had done this before as I had mentioned which prevented me from activating FaceTime, Messages and the App Store. Do you think this has something to do with my local Mac account having configuration remnants from the working Macmini7,1 configuration and associated serial numbers that's causing the activation issue? Would creating a new local Mac account help?

Thank you so much!

Hi guys,

Does anyone know these setups also work for high sierra or not?
I'm going to install high sierra on Designare Z390 + 9900k, because I have to use nvidia GPU.

Yes you can certainly install High Sierra on this system, but I believe you may need to select a Kaby Lake platform ID (0x59120000) and device-id (0x5912). Hopefully someone running High Sierra can chime in.

@avtor, can you share some tips and guidelines for installing High Sierra?

Please try the attached CLOVER. Some comments/questions:

• Backup the existing CLOVER folder from EFI partition of your Mojave SSD.
• Then fully delete the CLOVER folder (including Empty the Trash).
• Unzip and copy the attached CLOVER folder in place of the old one.
• Place your serial numbers back into the config.plist SMBIOS section.
• Reboot and see if it makes any difference:
  • Test the LG 5K when connected to UHD 630.
  • Test the LG 5K when connected via RX 580.
• Is the RX 580 installed in Slot 2?

What I did:

• According to your IORegistry the LG 5K Thunderbolt Display and all of its on-board devices (FaceTime camera, USB hub, speaker) are properly recognized.
• LG 5K is driven by UHD 630, but the UHD 630 connector settings were incorrect. The two Thunderbolt ports were configured as type HDMI instead of DisplayPort. This has been fixed.
• Your config.plist had IntelGFX set to 0x3E9B8086. This is not needed and should be avoided because WhateverGreen takes over this function. So the field has now been cleared.
• Enabled the "Trust" flag in SMBIOS.
• Added "-disablegfxfirmware" in Boot Arguments.
• Added AppleALC settings via Device --> Properties for better long term compatibility.
• Deleted all of the non-FakeSMC sensor kexts from CLOVER/kexts/Other.
• Pruned the list of kexts in CLOVER/kexts/Other to a minimum set.

Hi

Today tried HS on a USB external disk.
Used same EFI from Mojave install.
Only 1 change to SMBIOS (18.3).
All ok.

Thanks! So even Platform ID 0x3E9B0007 and device-id 0x3E9B/0x3E92 are okay on High Sierra?
