Hey! I've recently installed macOS Sierra 10.12.5 on my MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro.

Most of the things work (except the Intel Wireless 8265-AC Wifi, Audio (speakers, headphone jack, microphone), brightness control) AND my nvidia gtx 970m 3GB GDDR5. I was curious if anyone knows how to enable it. I don't care that much about the graphic card power, but the GPU has an extra fan and a led indicator and if the drivers are not installed correctly the fan is spinning at 4600RPM :/

I have to use the bootflag "nv_disable=1" otherwise the laptop will abort the boot process... "nvda_dvr=1" doesn't change anything because I have keep "nv_disable=1" I have installed the Nvidia web drivers (378.05.05.15f01) but it automatically sets "OS X Default Graphic Driver" as default and if I tick "NVIDIA Web Driver" and reboot it's back to OS X drivers.... Anybody knows how to fix that?

optimus is not supported, ie, your nvidia card won't work, you can only use your intel graphics. you can disable the nvidia card by this guide:

intel wireless is not supported so you will have to replace that hardware with more compatible hardware, list of hardware that will work:
