Hi all,
Hope y'all having a great holiday.
I've decided to upgrade my system to the MSI Z390 with an i9 9900K and 32 GB (2X 16) 3000Mhz RAM. with my existing GTX 1070. Target drive is a Samsung 960 EVO NVME M.2 SSD.
I've previously had a stable rig for about 3 years and never had any major problems.
This time around, I'm having immense trouble finishing the installer on High Sierra 10.13.6.
Takes about 2 boots to make the boot work, I was lucky to get a full install (but not stable, keeps crashing) but then realized its on APFS so I decided to re-do it in HFS+. Now im having trouble even getting through the first part of the installation before the 1st reboot. Then I plan to follow the "High Sierra Guide" to set APFS conversion to NO.
I am using the IGPU to install right now, my 1070 is off the rig.
BIOS with XMP to get my RAM to be properly 3000MHZ (BIOS default to 2166)
Using Lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext in my clover (USB) also have OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi, emuVariableUefi-64 and NvmexpressDxe-64 in my Clover folder... SMBIOS at iMac 18,3. Not sure what else I would need or if anyone recommend any certain crucial BIOS settings or clover/kext setup to get it running. Any help would be appreciated!
