  • If you have any other hard disks connected to the Motherboard, disconnect.
  • Just have only the Hard disk (SSD) you want to install High Sierra,
  • Disconnect all other USB devices from the USB ports, just have the USB Installer disk connected to the USB port .
  • Recheck ALL your BIOS options to make sure they are set to use Hackintosh. It is preferable to Load Optimized Default BIOS and then make changes for Hackintoshing.
  • In the BIOS Boot Option Priorities list, keep only your UEFI USB Installer disk as First Boot Device and DISABLE each and everything that you see in that list.
  • During boot, press the Hotkey (F-12 for Gigabyte) to select your UEFI USB Installer to reach the Clover Boot Manager Screen
  • Finally, X-79 series are the most difficult Mobos for Hackintosh. They work only if you have created your own DSDT/SSDT for use in CLOVER/ACPI/Patched folder as you might have already found out from prior installations.
