Years have passed since my last post.
This week I finally found time to update my old system.
Due to the known GTX 660 Ti Glitch problem from High Sierra my system was upgraded with a Radeon RX580 4GB.

The BIOS firmware X79-UD5 I have upgraded to version F14e so that EFI boot was possible.

Firmware Upgrade to F14e:
I used a DOS boot stick to flash the F14e into the main BIOS. After checking that everything worked, I copied the firmware from Main to Backup, pressing Alt+F10 during the boot process.
After the update I changed clover to boot via EFI (not legacy boot) so that Clover can boot from EFI Boot OSX Sierra to Mojave.
First I had to solve som EFI related problems:
For the sake of completeness:

First I had to solve som EFI related problems:
- AptioMemoryFix.efi is nessesary to fix a memory related efi problem
- Other drivers I've installed:
- ApfsDriverLoader.efi
- DataHubDxe.efi
- FSInject-64.efi
- HFSPlus.efi
- NTFS.efi (for Windows)
- SMCHelper.efi
- VoodooTSCSync.kext was needed to support my CPU "Intel Core i7 3930K".
- Alternatively you have to boot with cpus=1.
- AppleIntelCPUPM must be activated in Clover.
- Alternatively NullCPUPowerManagement.kext has to be installed.
- Added Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext
- Added flag to Clover: RadeonDeInit
- No deactivation of the Nvidia drivers was necessary, because the native Nvidia drivers of osx were used until now.
For the sake of completeness:
- i7_3930K_SSDT.aml
- USB_and_AUDIO_SSDT.aml
- AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext
- AppleIntelE1000e.kext
- FakeSMC.kext
- GenericUSBXHCI.kext
- realtekALC.kext (for auto switching between SPDIF and Headphones
- audio_cloverALC-130_v0.6.command
