    Cheapest/simplest thunderbolt motherboard available?

    For what it's worth, I purchased the GA-Z270X-UD5 with i7-7700K processor at a time when it was not yet a mature combination. Eventually I got everything working (although audio was untested since I had SoundSticks). I found it to be quite stable and fast. Once the multibeast and other...

    Post-install config - High Sierra, i7-7700K, ga-z270x-ud5, hd 630

    SMBIOS 0x1916000 didn't solve the problem. I've attached my current config.plist

    Post-install config - High Sierra, i7-7700K, ga-z270x-ud5, hd 630

    Update - I installed clover; no change. Tried ig-platform-id of 0x59120000; wouldn't boot. Tried 0x19160000; boots, but same results as 0x1912..... Tried both SMBIOS 17,1 and 18,3. They behave the same. I tried another poster's config.plist, and it didn't work, either. I'll try RehabMan's...

    Post-install config - High Sierra, i7-7700K, ga-z270x-ud5, hd 630

    Thanks. I'll re-read this and attempt some fixes. However, I used information in this thread before, and it lead me to an unbootable system. Unfortunately, I don't recall what failed me before, as it is more a conversation than a list of conclusive solutions. :( One generic question I...

    Post-install config - High Sierra, i7-7700K, ga-z270x-ud5, hd 630

    It's set to 128MB. So, I'm confused about how it's only 8Mb during operation. Is something overriding the BIOS value?

    Post-install config - High Sierra, i7-7700K, ga-z270x-ud5, hd 630

    I had almost abandoned this build - gave a new tutorial on high Sierra install and it kinda works. There are many problems, but the most significant is internal graphics. I somehow suspect that I have missed an important inject/copy/install/configure operation during the installation. But I'm...

    High Sierra - thunderbolt 3 on asrock z270m-itx/ac

    I'm planning on a similar build, except to use an i7-7700 processor instead. Is there a functional difference, at least in regards to OS installation, that might cause it to fail? Or are they the same?

    [Dead] Please help - MB no longer boots anything relating to MACOS

    Hmmm. Similarly, Windoze runs just fine for me, too. I have enabled the XHCI handoff option; mouse seems to work fine, even while editing the BIOS. So our problems are similar, but probably not related. Did you ever work through the problem?

    [Dead] Please help - MB no longer boots anything relating to MACOS

    Thanks for your help. I am continuing a negative trend with this machine. I can't reproduce any of my previous results. So I have come to a decision - I need to postpone working on this box and build a new mini-hackintosh. I have been without a mac for too long, and feel this gets me running...

    [Dead] Please help - MB no longer boots anything relating to MACOS

    I wasn't aware of the verbose mode. The first boot after turning it on showed an obvious error that I corrected. It now boots about halfway before simply stalling. I have uploaded (or will when I'm done typing this) the last frame on the monitor before it goes black. Once black, it appears...

    [Dead] Please help - MB no longer boots anything relating to MACOS

    Short version: system worked beautifully for months. 10.12.4 on my GA-Z270x-UD5 i7-7700k using internal graphics. Update to 10.12.6 was fairly easy. Problem began when I attempted to get two monitors working. That failed, and in the attempt to troubleshoot, I lost the ability to boot to the...
