Have you tried to install macOS Sierra first? We discourage asking/posting an EFI folder until you've install the macOS and tried to solve any problems.

Hello @Stork, I have 10.12.6 running system right now, but really don't know how much I have left to make perfect system. I have even created thread under Sierra support :
Low Performance and Power management not working 10.12.6 with i7 7700k

I have attached all required files there including Geekbench result . I am really worried because of that Geekbench result as I have seen people generally gets 6000 around score in single core and 20000 + around score in multi core. Can you please help me solve this out??

Would this process also work with the Gaming 8?

Near perfect system, thanks for all the resources in here.
Might have missed it, but has anyone got USB working (from the case, not motherboard)? Supplies power only.

Thanks

Hi crendore, any luck getting the Creative Sound Core3D working on the Z270X gaming 7?

Hey Stork, I see the 100 / 200 series audio option. But how do i know which ALCXXXX option to pick? i can't find what chipset this motherboard uses anywhere on the interwebs.

Help, I have the almost identical configuration except for 2 Geforce Nvidia 1050 ti graphic cards. I cannot get anywhere. My system was working under 12.4 then I upgraded without reading the fine print. Suddenly no booting and headaches when trying to install 12.6 from scratch. Things like a config file or CLOVER directory would be very helpful or at least detailed instructions on what you did to get to boot up. I was running from the SSD, but cannot install to that disk and have tried to install to a 5 TB Toshiba HD that is also in the system with no results as I cannot successfully boot from the install using the USB for Clover. Here is a screen shot of a failed boot to installed 10.12.6 from USB.

Well I'm happy I've got thunderbolt 3 working now. iMessage too. Still struggling with my audio and with my USB 3 Speed. Sorry for my English btw, I'm Dutch . When I look at my USB 3 ports, (yes they show up as USB 3 ports) they tell me the max speed is just 480 mb/s while it should be 5 gb/s. Im just trying everything I can find online, took me like 6 hours, but no fix Hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Can you please tell me how you got Thunderbolt working?
I've installed the drivers in windows but I can't get it to see my AUD Apollo 8p.
Any help would be appreciated!

Why? It's easy to do it yourself with the tonymacx86 guide(s) and the Post #1 information.

done that, os boots but clover doesn't inject any kext. Looks like windows without any drivers installed
