System:
GA-Z170X-Gaming 5
I5-6600
2XKingston 8GB DDR 2133 CL14
1TB Crucial MX300 3D V-NAND SATA 3.0 SSD
Planar LX2800 4k monitor
I have this same system running everything right at Sierra 12.2 just fine on a different disk.
Sierra updates wouldn’t boot (on the cloned SSD), and neither would High Sierra. Black screen and loss of video signal after Apple Logo/progress bar reaches about 75%. I fixed the High Sierra install by simply copying over the EFI from the USB installer to the new SSD.
However, the integrated HD 530 glitches and performs terribly. Additionally, neither the System Preference nor SwitchResX sees any allowed resolutions other than 4k and 1080p. On the old build, I can run 25something by 12something—I can’t remember exactly, but it works for these eyes.
All other wanted features work for me on this system.
Things tried:
1. Multi-Beast post-install for HD 530.
2. Latest Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup kexts.
3. Enabled CSM in BIOS—which someone on a thread said helped, but didn’t hurt or help for me.
4. Double-checked all other BIOS settings match installation guide.
5. Followed Kribbio’s thread here,
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/intel-hd-530-high-sierra.236952/
But a careful read shows that this doesn’t work for DisplayPort, only hdmi.
6. Also, someone recommended this youtube video method, which only claims to work for Sierra, not High Sierra, but at least one poster on these forums seemed to say it worked for him.
But it didn’t work for me.
Including my config.plist.
Any insight you can shed will be appreciated.
