Eglobal S200 Nuc Intel i7 8750H / Mini PC Compatible?

I tested the MacMini8,1 smbios and there is one big difference compared to iMac14.2.
Im using two displays.. my main monitor is an LG Ultrawide 34UC74G...

With MacMini8,1 smbios im unable to set 144hz, only 100hz, but with iMac14,2 144hz works without any problems. Secondary display is an Asus MX299 at 60hz.

Very nice from an integrated gpu that it can drive two displays at 2560x1080@144hz and 60hz at the same time.
Why not iMac19,2 then? Does it make any difference?

I don't know why I cannot boot with iMac19,2 even using your config.plist... maybe Im doing something wrong with the serial and uuid... no idea :)
[UPDATE]
Managed to boot with iMac19,2 :) :) :) Serial generation was the problem..

I thought you moved to Catalina, but screenshots show 10.14.5 ;)
 
Yes you are right, i feel comforatble on 10.14.5 :)
 
With iM
Thank you. I'm using it for my home development with 32" 4K Dell monitor and it performs well my tasks. ;)
Does HDMI work for you with iMac19,2? For me only DP is working, HDMI not, no signal. Probably port or fb needs patching but unfortunately im not advanced enough to do it :(

I'm using DP, probably, HDMI will not work without patching. Check my earlier config for HDMI patching.

Yes. thanks a lot for your quick response. Unfortunately your earlier config doesnt work with iMac19,2 :) Maybe if you have some spare time could you help to get it working? :)

Oh and I have some interesting new info... I continued testing smbioses and I found on my system that with iMac19,2 my nvme ssd (samsung 970 evo 500gb) write speeds are a lot slower than with macmini8,1. Im using blackmagic speed test for benchmarking and at the 3rd or 4th write test write speed drops from 2500+ mb/s to 1500 mb/s or lower.

I can not help, because right now, my LG 4K 27" HDMI monitor went to a display service for repair. So, go easy on me. ;)

As for NVMe speed, I've not noticed any difference and didn't do any benchmarking. I'm using 1TB SP NVMe disk.
 
I am thinking of buying this device. It is meant for normal, home usage with 1 FHD monitor (either DP or HDMI). How much does it differ from installing MacOS on normal PC? I read about display problems, are they still existing? Will the installation of Catalina be flawless? If not, tell me what to do (i know basics of hackintoshing).
