And system profile had to be 14,2

where do i set that?

Use MultiBeast to change your System Definition. It's a safer way to do it rather than fool with the config.plist file.
In MultiBeast,

Customize > System Definitions > iMac > iMac14,2​

See page 7 of the MultiBeast Features document which comes with MultiBeast or at multibeast.com.

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

I think it was the IntelMausiEthernet.kext that made it work. That's what made it work for me finally. It hasn't given me any issues at all.

If you didn't do it on your plist then you can temporarily set it before it boots while your at the clover screen, go to settings, SMBIOS, and it should say profile, change that to 14,2

smbios was already set to 14,2

Hey Guys here is my update for my first build.
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-Gaming 5
CPU: i7-7700K Kaby Lake
Graphics: EVGA GTX 980 Ti HYBRID

Finally, after 4 days of Apple logo installation freezing, I found a problem - it was UniBeast 7.01.
After I updating to new UniBeast 7.1 here is the newest one 7.1.1 USB flash installer with Sierra 10.12.4
I was using the Clover Configurator for config file.
config.plist from (USB) EFI
“Kernel and Kext Patches” -> FakeCPUID -> 0x0506E3
“Boot” -> nv_disable=1
“SSDT” -> iMac 17,1
Kext files: EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
FakePCIID.kext
FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext
FakeSMC.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
IntelMausiEthernet.kext
AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext
USBInjectAll.kext
XHCI-200-series-injector.kext
RealtekRTL8111.kext
Lilu.kext
NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext


Installed MultiBeast - Sierra 9.0.1
Updated the config file and kexts on Samsung 250 GB HD) EFI
After I installed Nvidia updates:
macOS 10.12.4 Sierra - 367.15.10.45f01 I have a apple logo freeze.
I've tried to connect monitor via MOBO DP1.2 and 980ti DP1.2

I'm attaching the Bios setting and config file. Please let me know how can i fix it! Please share the Clover Configurator screenshots or kext files.
How can I fix it Nvidia web Drivers?

 

[RomanoSoprano]

All right! Now I able to boot Sierra. =)
But now I have a black screen after apple logo if I'm using iGPX (Will wait for clover 7.1) but I'm able to boot with my 980ti but the nvidia web driver not selected and resolution is offset
How can I fix that?

Update: I finally fixed the Web Drives problems. I've installed all kexts with kextbeast and new updated clover.
What is working now:
- DDR4 3200.
- 980ti shows 6GB VRAM
- resolution is correct. I've installed the CsmVideoDxe. I'm not sure if I need that??? Anyway I have a NEC pa272w-bk (not 4k)
- USB 3.0

NOT WORKING:
- USB3.1
- Sound (still have to fix it) I would really like to fix the SPDIF port.
- I have a very strange problem. After I shot down it will start again after couple seconds.
- wake up only after reboot.

I'm still new to MacOs and still have to test, learn and fix a lot of things but at least I have it working now =)

Hi, everyone! I've been looking around for first my first build. Definitely, the GA-Z270X-UD5 is a good option.
I'm going to order:
GA-Z270X-UD5
i7-7700K
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
G.SKILL F4-3000C15D-32GTZ TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) so I will free slots for future update to 64gb.

What is the best option for the wifi adapters?
It would be great to see full guide, especially for a newbie.
Sorry if it's off-topic.

Hi RomanoSoprano, I have a WiFi Bluetooth card from osxwifi.com and the WiFi worked right away. I have the same board with i5-7600K and 2x16GB for the same memory upgrade option. I have not yet tested the Bluetooth as i am still using the Apple USB keyboard with mouse attached. I will test Bluetooth with the Apple Magic Mouse.

My guide for this WiFi / BT card is: Power off PC, use proper anti-static precautions, unbox card*, open case, insert card, close case, boot PC, connect to WiFi. (*purchase how-to not part of this how-to) I have not tested the speed yet, will do that tonight.

Hey iJamesGC.
Thanks for sugestion! I have a PC keyboard and mouse so I think I don't really need a Bluethooth for now =)
But for the WiFi I used a
TP-Link Archer T4UH.
It has a Mac drives and connecting via USB3.0 cable. Will see if the New Mac pro will have some good wifi option =)
Did you have any problems with shut down>>> powering on againg?
How did you fixed the audio?
THANKS!

Hello RomanoSoprano,

So far the power off / on issue is lack of ability to boot from the boot drive rather than the USB install stick. I believe it could be an issue with the location of the files required to boot as I have to boot from USB, edit CPUID and remove nvid. Also audio and bluetooth not working yet. Down / Up speeds on WiFi are around 100Mb/s. I have not yet tested the wired connection.

Hello iJamesGC.
As I see you are: "Short time Apple / Mac user First Time Hackintosh builder" Same as me =)
Try do update the Clover on your USB and reinstall Sierra. Or use the new udated
UniBeast 7.1.1 to create new USB installer. I was some issues with kexts injecting. I'm going to do a new clean instaletion too.
Than try to install with MultiBeast - Sierra 9.0.1 Intel hd530 in order to use a fake id's
What kexts did you use?


Here is my Clover Configurator Settings:

I have a quetion to experiensed Hackintoshers:
I have a corsair link
Corsair RMi Series, RM750i, (Connected to usb2.0 port on MOBO)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 (Connected to usb2.0 port on MOBO)
Corsair Commander Mini fan controller. (Connected to usb3.0 port on MOBO via 3.0 to 2.0 cable)
May I have any Power/Shut down or sleep related issues with that set up?
If so should i disable USBs used for corsair link? Or have to disconect them?
