Anyone got USB3.0 working?

I installed this AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext and IntelMausiEthernet.kext but I'm not sure which one made it work.

When you installed the two kext files, do both of your ethernet ports work? Only 1 of my ports is working. I installed a TP Link Gigabit Ethernet PCIe adapter which works. But im not sure whats wrong with the second port on my Z270X.

I just tested the Gigabyte Z270X-UD5 with Sierra 10.12.3 and Thunderbolt 3 port worked as expected without any Windows configuration. I used Startech Thunderbolt 3 > Thunderbolt adapter and Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.

As usual, however- no hot swap- devices must be plugged at boot.

Config.plist attached for reference.

I've successfully set up my CustoMac and the majority of everything is working for me except for my Samsung 950 Evo M.2 and the 2nd Ethernet port on the motherboard. It lights up when a cable is plugged in but isn't recognized, even when I add an additional port in network in system preference. I'm not sure if it's a bad port or not. Has anyone with a successful install have this problem/solve?

I have the intelmausiethernet, atheroethernet, along with all the other kexts that's in Tonys guide along with the OP's guide.

I installed a TP TG3468 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe adapter which is working fine ootb without installing any drivers.

OS Sierra 10.12.5 | SMBIOS 14,2
Intel Kaby Lake i7 7700K
Gigabyte Z270X UD5 Motherboard

So far, I'm happy to report I have the build working on GA-Z270X-UD5, i7 7700K, GeForce Titan X Pascal, Samsung 960 Pro NVME. Ethernet is working great, I haven't tested. In my case a reinstall (previously I was using a z170 board) is what fixed it and following the guides linked in this thread.

My Focusrite Clarett 8Pre over thunderbolt (using both the Apple and StarTech Adapter) is not working. That's my next task.

Can you let me know how you got the NVME drive to show up in Clover. Clover boots but I have no availble drives to install on. I have the same board, nvme and processor as you, my graphics card hasnt arrived yet. I put all of the hardware in today and got my usb stick setup but all it does is boot into Clover, then it shows an apple logo and reboots. When it boots into the clover install screen before the apple logo, there are no drives showing to select.
 
Hi Ndagle,
I have installed 10.12.5 on GA-Z270X-UD5 / I7 7700k / M.2 NVME 960 Evo
I've just applied the following settings on config.plist of clover on the pen drive and it was able to find the drive. After install I did the same on config.plist of the HD.

Also, I have:
Video Intel HD 630 working (I am having problem with two screens when I turn on the PC with the HDMI monitor off)
Sound acl1220 working
Network ethernet only 1 working
Usb all ports working but I dont know the speed
Wifi and bluetooth (BCM943602CS) working
Shutdown and restart from OS working (not working when I press the button on the case)

Today My biggest problem is the screen, because I have a projector connected to HDMI that is usually off, but if I leave the cable connected to the projector (off) when I start the PC i have no screen... To get it working I need to disconnect the hdmi cable before start OR turn on the projector before start the PC.
 
Even though I had copied a config and the kexts from someone that had it working it didn't show to the sierra installer.
I had a 1TB portable drive that had an exact image of my mac mini's el capitan drive. This oddly booted without issue on my "customac". After I booted to that, I was able to see the NVMe using disk util. I formatted the NVMe for mac and after I booted back to my clover/sierra installer usb it could see the NVMe.
Many others using a windows partition to do this. You might be able to use something like Knoppix (linux) as well.

Upload your pendrive efi/clover/config.plist
 
I have used the fresh config.plist from the pendrive and just added the KextsToPatch and changed the Fakecpuid (because I am running 7700k), it worked straight way.
