Is anyone else having problems with the input volume? When I'm inserting a microphone (either in the front or back mic panel) the sound I can record is pretty low. I heard that there are ways to patch AppleHDA in order to boost microphone input but I'm completely lost in how to actually do this...

I'm wondering if anyone got front panel Audio working with this built. The back panels all work just fine although when inserting a microphone/speakers to the front audio panels, the Output devices changes to "Headset" (Kopfhörer, as in the picture) instead of internal speakers (which indicates...

Ah okay, so maybe going Stork's Route with Hero X (Normal Version) + Fenvi Card could also be something for me, since there are guides and it seems to be quite easy. Thanks for all the info!

Ah, alright. Switching to DW1820-A should even have native support, connects over M2 and is even cheaper. Will probably use that one then. Thanks!

Sounds great! I read about you using a PCI-E Adapter to match your Wifi/BT Card to the board, I think I can avoid this by using the DW 1560 which directly connects to PCI-E. So even adding the shield back on should work. Thanks for answering all those questions!

I saw that there are two options in terms of the Hero X – one with Wifi and one without. Does the Wifi work OOB or do I need some of the Apple Cards and replace the internal card? Having WIFI on board would allow me to drop the TP-9E from my list, that'd be great. (I Guess the same that you did...

I'm a bit torn apart between getting the Z370-H motherboard + 8700K Processor, or a 9600K with a Maximus X Hero motherboard (Both will be about the same price altogether). Do you have any plans in terms of upgrading this system further down the road? I read about the performance differences...

Im totally on the fence now, too. Thought about getting a 370 motherboard + intel 8700, will probably wait until the release next week to see how the benchmarks work out.

Thanks for the data! I found another post with a list of cards that seem to work OOB: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/amd-polaris-vega-gpu-high-sierra-support.2083168/

Thats totally understandable, I'm heading for a Z370-H, which might mean a bit more space, tough.

What might be interesting to some of you building this setup is this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/amd-polaris-vega-gpu-high-sierra-support.2083168/ According to it, you can basically choose between a few models that don't have the issue present. Im considering going with the...

Hello everyone, It's my first real hackintosh after quite some time and I'm planning to get the most compatible components I can. Most of my build is already quite set according to the guide from Pastrychef – sadly I still need some advice considering the graphics card. I heard the Sapphire 580...

Did upgrading to 10.13.5 fix the issue for anyone of you?

Hey Pastrychef, Is the fix for the fan issue already included in your EFI setup with the other kexts or do I need to add it after doing the whole initial setup? Thanks!

That's great, thank you! Considering the upgrade to 10.13.5, you mentioned that 10.13.4 broke your System Definition. Did the upgrade to 10.13.5 fix it? Right now it seems like I'll be choosing the Vega 56 over the GT 1070 in terms of compatibility.
