It sounds like things are working pretty well with the update and patches, except for potential flickering issues with the UHD630 graphics, for those of us without a separate GPU. Anybody having luck getting that to work? From what I read elsewhere in the forums (e.g., https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-10-13-4-update.248292/page-18#post-1718566), changing the SMBIOS from 18,3 to 18,1 solved it.
Would like to see a confirmation from someone with a setup close to mine before taking the plunge.
I think that whether CSM can help a person's system is very dependent on the hardware used. My guess is that it's due to differences in firmware of each individual device.
It's always a good idea to disable any overclocks when troubleshooting. This is why I did not list enable XMP in the BIOS section of post #1.
I don't know why you have to set IGPU to be primary. On the systems that I've put together, I've always only had to enable IGPU, but have always set the PCI-e graphics to primary or used "detect". Perhaps there are some differences with the BIOS of your motherboard...
If you are using my EFI folder, the IGPU should not appear in System Information at all unless you are using IGPU only, without a discrete graphics card. I have IGPU set up in "headless" mode. The double listing of IGPU can be fixed by updating to Clover r4421. But I've read of people having flickering issues when using UHD 630. Some with the flickering have reported that changing to iMac18,1 or iMac18,2 system definitions fixed it.
I have just finished this build once more for the exercise of it. I learned that using iGPU needs iMac18,1. If I choose 18,2 or 18,3 the monitor on HDMI turns orange when I choose 90 degree upright standing, and flickering becomes unbearable, and USB-ports is not responding. With iMac18,1 no problemos.
