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


So how does it work with him?
You sign up to be part of a batch and they all get made at once, etc?

Sounds like you have to plan a ways out and be patient, yeah?

Yes, it was like that. At least last year.

To be honest, he is a little bit unorganized. We both live in Ukraine and I expected that I would receive my case in time. But I waited for my case for 4 months and all the experience wasn't smooth... Every month there was some kind of problem and my case was postponed for another month.

I hope his service is better now. Looks like he has some cases in stock.

Just updated to macOS 10.14.5 beta 4 and switched to SMBIOS 19.1. I found out that my USB 3 ports don't work with SMBIOS 19.2.
 
Hi b1,
first of all, thanks for your work and great guide, made my Mojave install way easier then my HS install last year.
Unfortunately I am having a problem with my BCM94360CS2 Wifi card. As long as I do not deactivate Wifi before sleep or disconnect the known wifi, the Computer will wake after a few seconds. Wake Reason XDCI. Otherwise it sleeps like a rock.
I am not quite sure but this might be an USB issue. I made a custom USBPorts.kext for working front USB ports HS01/02 and SS01/02 not exceeding the 15 port limit and set HS10 to internal and deactivating HS03/04 and SS03/04 completely. See enclosed.
Using the same Powermanagement settings you do.

I bought 2 cards from the same seller you did. Having the problem with both cards.
Powernap, Wake for Wifi deactivated in Settings and no other Devices connected. WOL deactivated

Did you have similar issues?

I also have some glitches with USB after updating to 10.14.5 betas. Did your WiFi work with 10.14.4?
 
Yes, run without problems.

Ok, so what I know now, the USBPorts.kext doesn't work in 10.14.5 betas. Try an "old" USB implementation — custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext. This method fixed all USB issues for my build.

Just use attached files and delete USBPorts.kext and SSDT-EC.aml/SSDT-USBX.aml.

I will try fix USBPorts.kext on the stable 10.14.5.

Thanks, unfortunately no luck for me.

Can't tell only used LAN til now and went to 10.14.5 because of better Vega support.

Thanks a lot, that seemed to fix it. Will need some more testing but now sleep works with enabled Wifi and Bluetooth stays available after wake after I switched back to 18,3 from 19,1
Hope it'll work again.
Im using your SSDT now with front USB HS/SS1+2 instead of HS/SS3+4 USB next to LAN Port
