I installed Intel Power Gadget and some different HWMonitors and all of them shows the CPU temperature. I also get GPU temps and fan speeds. I never tried without the Intel package so I don't know if that is what does the trick. I did so based on a suggestion from a friend who prepared another...

Btw, does anyone know of a good source for the Dell DW1560 in Europe? I read in the first post that there are Chinese knock-off's that doesn't work reliably, and looking at eBay it's not easy to understand what is good or bad.

@StefanIsBuilding @vio1 That is exactly what I have pointed out since it did my installation following this guide and noticed that I didn't have that file. There is no step that tells you to do anything that will install the needed scripts in macOS that will handle the creation/reading of the...

@vio1 Afaik, you need to install/update Clover so that it injects the needed scripts into macOS. Otherwise you will never have any nvram.plist file generated no matter how much you select those options. That file is created by those scripts. Try that first and then check those settings and see...

@vio1 Yes, you need to mount the EFI and select the config.plist on your EFI partition in Clover Configurator in order to update the settings. You also need to update Clover to have the needed scripts installed. See the Keeping Your System Updated section of the first post (and open the...

Yes, Clover will install them...but there is no step in the first post that tells you to do this...except if you expand and read the "Update Procedure" spoiler. Since your (great) procedure gives us a system that works without us having to fiddle with all the nitty gritty details...it is not...

If you follow this guide, the hooks in macOS that creates the nvram.plist will not be there. I mentioned that here and here, but got no feedback on it. I manually installed the required files in macOS so I now have a working nvram.plist. Still, it would be nice to have it confirmed how it is...

@dmnkhhn Exactly! Last thing I did with the iGPU was to mount the EFI partition, deleted the old EFI, and put the EFI for the DGPU there. Then I shutdown the computer, inserted the Radeon card and powered on the computer. And it booted with zero issues. Once I was up and running again I used...

I wouldn't say annoying...the thing I had was that, after returning to the computer, the desktop did not fill the whole screen. There was a 1 cm black border around the desktop. Yet both the display and the computer claimed that they used 2560x1440 pixels. And, if I wanted it to go away, I had...

I finally added a Radeon 580 Nitro to my build and yay, the annoying display issue is now gone. No more black border when you return to the computer...at least not yet after the first 12+ hours of use. And the swap of GFX was dead simple...just deleted the old EFI and put the DGPU-EFI in there...

It's described here...with some updates in later posts. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-everything-works-asus-z390-i-gaming-i7-8700k-sapphire-rx580-pulse-build.272572/post-1996598

I'm using the i7-9700K in my build without (major) issues :) I have two minor issues, one might be related to the CPU since it might have to do with the internal GPU. But until I have the DGPU in place i'm not spending any time looking into why it behaves that way.

Found an HDMI cable so I changed to that...then I turned off the monitor and left the computer alone for a while. When I came back, and turned on the monitor, I noticed that the computer restarted. That never happened with DP connection. Another thing I have noticed now is that it seems that...

No, as my profile says I only have iGPU...I’m going to put a DGPU in there later...as soon as I have found a decent one. If it was a framebuffer issue I would expect the graphics to not work properly at all. In this case it all works fine...except if I turn off the display for a while and...

Yes, as long as you do not powercycle it will remain as it is in-memory. My screen issue was not related to nvram anyway...even after fixing so that nvram is persistent I get the same behavior. I also tried changing resolution in MacOS and regardless of what output I select...I get the same...

But does your variable persist after a system reboot? That you can read the value after you set it is normal...that worked for me too...but as soon as I rebooted the system that variable was lost...which is the expected behavior for a Hackintosh with emulated nvram...there has to be a...

Seems like there is a step missing in the build guide...you will not have working nvram once you are done following the steps in the first post. Since I didn't want to mess with my installation by trying to run the Clover installer...I extraced the rc-scripts from the installer and manually put...

Correct me if i'm wrong here...and I haven't read all 200+ pages in the thread. But from what I understood this motherboard does not support NVRAM so we rely on NVRAM emulation right? And for that Clover uses some scripts to write them out to disk...and those scripts are/can be installed when...

There is no nvram.plist in the root EFI directory...so I guess that could very well be the problem. Will try to look into that tonight if I have time.

@ModMike Thanks for putting together all this info and files...I just bought and assembled a Hackintosh using this info and I was up and running in 10.14.6 within 2-3 hours after I finished assembling all the HW. It was almost smoother than installing macOS on real Apple HW :) The files I used...
