I don't know about "DeInit". What is it? Is this a BIOS parameter?

I had a brain fart. The RadeonDeInit=true in the graphics section of the config.plist with Clover v4297 and newer eliminates the need for Luli and whatevergreen for AMD graphics cards. Matter of fact, the latest MultiBeast for High Sierra, has a option to add the config.plist parameter.

Thanks, man. I don't know what i did, but now I can't boot to USB or Mac at all - 70% then stuck on Apple logo even try to reset BIOS but nothing help. When it loads from an USB, it always gets stuck at around 70%. I did try all your settings in BIOS but some how it can't pass it. ty for your help.

I did skip this - For proper processor power management, get the SSDT for your processor from ammulder's Guide and rename it SSDT.aml but all works, so I need to do that too cause I don't know how. Sorry.

Will try again

Thanks Stork for this great build!
After your Hero build I wanted to try this mini build.
Really liked the explanation and finished quite fast.
I installed HS 10.13.1 on HFS+ (APFS was impossible)
One thing though which I could not fix. When I finished installing and wanted to change something in config.plist with CloverConfigurator, macOS would not reboot at all.
Solution for me was to NOT use CloverConfigurator at all.

Welcome to the GENE and HERO Clubs.

Yes, I recommend that, if you Clover Configurator, you back up your config.plist first. It's been known to corrupt a config.plist with reports we've been reading lately.

BTW, I skipped building a Kaby Lake system. I'm now looking at Coffee Lake system. Can't make up my mind as it's a toss-up between the ASUS Z370-G Gaming mATX motherboard or another HERO motherboard.

I'm currently testing a Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB (AMD) graphics card in Gene. It works essentially OOB in Sierra 10.12.6 with Clover v4297(+) and the
"Devices/Graphics/RadeonDeInit=Yes" flag config.plist mod. (This negates the need for Luli and whatevergreen kexts.) Works with the native Apple drivers and wake-up from sleep works. It's the equivalent to a GTX 1060 in processing power, but without the need for external drivers. But, Apple has not expanded it to other AMD 400/500 cards, yet, as this Sapphire card is in the Apple eGPU peripheral which Apple sells to developers. High Sierra AMD drivers are not yet mature, but will get there when the new iMac and Mac Pros are released. Expect full AMD support for Vegas then (10.13.4/5).

Hi Stork - any quick pointers you can give to me if all of a sudden the computer thinks there is no wifi hardware installed? This occurs on both mac and win 10. However, Bluetooth is working fine... I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Sorry, I can't help you on the WiFi. Best post in the Network forum section. However, if it doesn't work in either Windoze nor macOS, then it could be that the WiFi portion of the card quit working.

hi
How did u fix iMessage and FaceTime? cause as soon as I edits sbios in clover with any guide I found I can't boot anymore stuck at apple logo

I recommend you use P1LGRIM's quick and simple setup.
