Hey I had the exact same problem on my Hackintosh with the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4@3000MHz.
The solution is as follows

- Open the config.plist in a text editor (Atom, Sublime Text or similar)
- Edit the size of the memories to 16384 MB each
- Save the file and close the editor
- Open Clover configurator and load the config.plist
- Under the SMBIOS tab make sure that the parameters are all filled in
- Slot: 0 and 2 (VERY important)
- Size: 16384
- Frequency: Since mine are 3000 i used 2600 that is the maximum I have available in the dropdown (will test with 3000 changing he config.plist directly)
- Vendor: Corsair
- Part: check online or make one up
- Serial:<make a random 12 characters string up>
- Type: DDR 4​
- Make sure Channels is set to Dual Channel and slot count is set to 4
- Save changes (File -> Save)
- Reboot

I'm not 100% sure you are correct as I did my build during the weekend and used the last available version of Clover configurator. Anyway the important part is that the problem is now solved :)

well this is how i fixed the ram issue.
 
just a short question about the WIFI. Is it possible to install the Broadcom BCM94352Z after the install?
 
Yes, I installed the Broadcom and its drivers afterwards.
 
Is there a trick to getting El Capitan to show up in the app store? I only show Sierra in the store and some El Cap tutor and Learn apps.

ok, I was able to download the .dmg file with the following link ( https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/os-x-10-11-6-update.195102/ ) Since I downloaded it this way and not from the app store, I'm not sure how to get UniBeast to see it. I've moved the file from my downloads folder to applications. I've opened the .dmg and created a .pkg file in applications. Tried running it and cancelling, but it cancels itself since it sees 10.9.5 on my mac and not 10.11. Apparently this is an update only, so I need an original 10.11 file to make this work.

Is that correct? If so, I'm still looking for a link to 10.11.

p.s. - I tried this link (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/os-x-el-capitan-is-now-available-on-the-mac-app-store.173244/) but it says that that product is not available in the app store...same as my post yesterday.

I've followed the guide and so far everything is working well. Even iMessage and Facetime. The only issue i'm facing is that my wifi is extremely slow. I've installed the broadcom chip and the drivers as explained in the guide. Does somebody know what the problem is?
