Hi Try to switch RAM slot from default motherboard order. so Try change you Ram to B1+A1 or B2+A2 see which would work properly for your build?

I tried with my system it boot with no issues See my build for 300 series

Hope it works for you

Thanks

Hi. I try to finish up my installation of my coffee lake i8400, Asus z370-p, XFX RX580, Samsung 850 Evo m2 hackintosh built. Everything goes fine, but after installation i try to start the mac from the clover menu choosing "Boot macOS from High Sierra (m2 name)". The first time i got through and entered my name, keyboard etc, but after a restart, I cannot get in there anymore. I freezes after loading the Apple logo screen. The RX580 spins around for 2 seconds very much, but then turns off the fans. The entire computer is running but the screen is black.

Any ideas?

(It is my first hackintosh build :) )

Edit: Don't know what happened, but it works now :)

sleep? so far, no good
 
I will try to test that this weekend. I have an i3 and an i7 Coffeelake build now and will try this on both of them.

My i3-8100 is working well. I just bought components to build 5 more of them next week.

I can't get sleep working on either of them though. I am ONLY using integrated graphics and presume that is the issue, but I've read reports that sleep can work on coffee lake without adding a GPU, i'm just not sure what the secret sauce is to make that work

I got a PowerColor AMD Radeon RX580

PowerColor RED DRAGON Radeon RX 580 DirectX 12 AXRX 580 8GBD5-3DHDV2/OC 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support ATX Video Card

I found mine in CraigsList, brand new, for $200.

WOW @ocazus - lucky you to have found such a great deal on that card! I just got back from both MicroCenter and Fry's here in Dallas. The shelves for video cards are BARE! Seems that everyone who is trying to mine cryptocurrency is grabbing anything & everything that has any horsepower at all. The best I could do was on craigslist as well - a guy just sold me one of these that he bought from NewEgg, but decided to NOT do a cc-mining build after all. Brand new - seal on static bag unbroken. $500. YIKES!

Hey Guys,

I don't know for what reason but I don't think Multibeast is working properly.
I'm building an 2018 mackintosh with the following specs:

Gigabyte z370xp SLI
Intel 8700 3.2ghz 6-cores
Ballistix 16GB 2400Mhz
SSD Samsung EVO 850 128gb SATA 3
SSD Micron 120Gb SATA 3
SSD Sandisk Ultra III 960gb SATA 3
Using the Apple Broadcom Wifi and Bluetooth (so working properly without kext since its native)

and I'm getting this bugs:

PS2 Keyboard doesn't work
At the "About my Mac" says 3.19Ghz Unknow
Need to apply FixShutdown
and without kexts the intel internal graphics UHD 630 don't work properly (are not recognised and glitch)

the only thing worse that I can't figure is that I'm not able to put my onboard audio working, (ALC1220 I guess). So Multibeast is not doing its job, right?

MultiBeast can't solve some of your problems. But, there is a known "bug" with Sierra and High Sierra with respect to audio on hackintoshes. It's documented in the MultiBeast announcements for High Sierra, located on the Home page and explained here. In a nutshell, use MacMan's procedure here using your motherboard's audio chipset > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...eries-300-series-patcher.239519/#post-1648476

It would also be helpful for you to post the MultiBeast options you used in a new thread in High Sierra Desktop Support forum section as this thread is not meant to be a help thread.
