Wow! Progress!! It is such a major relief to not have intermittent hardware confusing me! Attempted both Catalina and Mojave installations. Following the Clover screen, and after setting the Options, the Catalina attempt hung after reaching a full progress bar; after 4 hours it never...

Thanks JCMunsonII ! Points noted. Q: Should I increase my memory from 16GB before starting? I want to do this eventually. If I do, since I cannot easily find my Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4 2666 MHz, can I switch to two (or four) sticks of 16GB G.Skill...

Thank you! Is there a reference that might give me some basic background, even a tutorial? For example, do I make the various Nvidia tweaks even though I am using Vega64? Of course I would not, but this one's easy because I know what a GPU is and know Nvidia is replaced later. Please bear...

JCMunsonII, thank you for your great instructions and sifting through a myriad of data to present us with your working build! I hope I can join you all here. My first build in (Dec'17), which followed your h/w - including migrating to Vega 64 - developed problems. I had supposed something...

JCMunsonII, I have built my system following your hardware. However, I cannot get it to boot. I have some very basic questions, primitive even. Can you recommend anyone that may be able to offer consulting, or would this thread endure some very noobie questions?

@JCMunsonII - Thank you. I did boot, but after shutting down and then rebooting, it crashed every time. It seemed connected to the MultiBeast additions that I'd made, so I listed them. The only "attempt to install over it" occurred by mistake on one of these reboot attempts. Ought I...

One step forward! :) I was successful booting to 10.14.5. Vega64 GPU is working. In MultiBeast, I ran into problems, and now I cannot reboot. I'm hoping I don't have to re-install. Here is what I did: 1. Changed BIOS as per JCMunsonII "BIOS Setup" (though I could not find XHCI Handoff)...

Thanks so much! I have now downloaded the full macOS and created the boot drive. I will use the iMac 18,3 definition. 2 questions: should I add the JCMunsonII recommendations (and Stork recs) to the TonyMac instructions, even though they were for the Sierra build? And, must the Vega 64 be...

I removed the GTX 1070 from the mobo. The boot fails to load as it failed before. Removing it did not help me.

Thank you, Fraxinus. I have not unboxed the Vega 64. My thought was to get it booting without a GPU, before sinking more money into a second one. At the moment, the GTX 1070 is plugged into the Mobo, but I do not have power connected. Neither is the monitor connected to the GPU. It is...

Thanks! I followed Tonymac's (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-install-macos-mojave-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.259381/). This includes: Clover v.24_r4972, UniBeast 9.2.0 and macOS upgcombo 10.14.5. MultiBeast 11.3.0 is on deck. This did not work. I may be missing something...

I am having trouble booting from the USB I created while trying for a clean install of 10.14.5. I have created two different USBs, and the result is the same. Both times I closely followed the instructions (though I could not find IO Serial Port, nor XHCI). While booting from both USBs, the...

Thanks JCMunsonII! My ASUS Hero IX is on its way back to ASUS for warranty repair! Meanwhile, could you help with a couple questions? 1. Your build begins with El Cap and upgrades all the way to Mojave. With current Multi-beast, kexts and Alt Nvidia drivers, etc, do I still make your "three...

JCMunsonII and friends, I am having trouble with the High Sierra 10.13.6 update. I had followed your recommended build - ROG Max Hero IX, i7700K, GeForce GTX 1070 FTW, NvME 960 Pro M.2, Ballistix Elite 16 GB, and Corsair AX860. It ran decently for 6 months (10.13.1), then progressively worse...

JCMunsonII, Wow! Thanks for being so explicit! I am starting with nearly the same configuration: Maximus IX Hero, i7-7700k, Ballistix Elite DDR4 2 x 8 GB, GTX-1070 FTW, Samsung 960 Pro NVMe 512, planned water cooling. I am several days into this and am totally flailing. Was I naive to think...
