• I have edited your EFI and zipped and uploaded for you to unzip , extract and try replacing what you have in your macOS HighSierra 1013.6 USB Installer Flash disk's EFI Partition with this extracted EFI Folder.
• Please note I have Nvidia GT 710 which is natively supported and does not require any Nvidia Web drivers or any config.plist editing.
  • If your Nvidia GTX 760 needs Nvidia Web driver Installation on your HDD after initial installation , you cannot just copy this EFI to make that bootable .
  • You will have to first ENABLE SIP ( edit config.plsit of System Disk's EFI/CLOVER/config/RT Variables_ CsrActiveConfig and change the current value of 0x67 to 0x00) during installation of Nvidia Web driver and then after reboot change it back to current value of 0x67
• PLEASE NOTE: During installation with your USB Installer you may need to use nv_disable=1 (which I did not need and config.plist > but I have added to the one I uploaded)

Thanks for the EFI. I don't have access to the computer now and might not for several months. I'll pass it on to the owner (for whom I built it) and see if he can get it to work in my absence.

GA-X79-UP4 BIOS Version F7

ATI Radeon HD 5450 Series
Monitor Acer S235HLbii Black 23" 5ms HDMI*2 Widescreen LED Monitor 250 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (1000:1)
HDD: SATA: ST3250310CS Media 250GB

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 220-G2-0850-XR 80+ GOLD

I had this system for a number of years with multi-boot Windows/Linux and Hackintosh starting with Mountain Lion.
For the last couple of years I had Windows 10+macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and Ubuntu.
I had problems installing macOS sierra until I installed SSDT to successfully install and update to 10.12.6.

I had been unable to install macOS High Sierra Beta and I just gave up. I did not get the time to try again the release version of macOS High Sierra. When I tried it a few months ago, I had KPs and I decided to stay with 10.12.6. on this system

Finally, in the last two days, I tried with new DSDTs and finally succeeded to install and update to 10.13.3 (17D102).

​

I removed all my other system HDDs and did a clean install using macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Installer Flash drive (16GB SunData USB 2.0 Flash disk) on a Seagate 250GB SATA Spin Disk

I took images as I was going through the project:

• All the BIOS Menu Screens,
• CLOVER/ACPI/Patches | CLOVER/drivers64UEFI | CLOVER/kexts/Other folders
• config. plist menu screens opened in CCV,
• All Clover Boot Manager Options Screens and
• Critical stages of verbose boot screens until the System was installed and
• Screen Capture images of “About This Mac> Overview"and
• System Report..>Hardware sub menus screens
• System Preferences >Security & Privacy and
• System Preferences> Sound and its tab views

My system has been working well with Video and Audio meeting my needs without any crashes. I updated it with 10.13.3 Supplemental.
I connected all my other systems except macOS Sierra which I plan to add later.
I am uploading a Series of images that might be useful for others with the same X79 System which is generally not very friendly for Hackintosh.

Hello dude,
I am trying to make an hackintosh with X79 UP4 3930k 1080 ti, but i can't get 3.0 USB ports detected in 2.0 or 3.0
Is is possible that you share me your EFI to check that please ?

Thank you.

Hi - im really struggling to upgrade from sierra to high sierra - im on x79up4 and 17-3930 6 core - Im stuck in infinite boot loop when you commence install high sierra from within sierra and it reboots before installing. from what ive read its possibly nvidia drivers missing but i cant install them as they wont install on sierra -
