Use this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-sierra/id1127487414?mt=12 to download the full Sierra installer and make your Unibeast drive with that first. Install that and then update to High Sierra.

If you don't have a Mac or CustoMac already running macOS then you'll have to buy the Snow Leopard DVD and install that first to get Mac App Store access. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...cos-sierra-install-guide.230056/#post-1574984

1/ i'm wondering if there is a guide for High Sierra on the HP 6300 ? ( i've upgrade to 10.13 after a fresh Sierra install and get it working with a i3 2120 and 8400GS in full HD via HDMI)
2/ are some of you using the DP and IGP (so what CPU ?) to get 4K (full res @60hz) working ?
Howether what GFXcard in LP is à good choice for HighSierra and 4k ? GT730 is enough powerfull maybe some AMD too ?

You would need a CPU with HD4000 supported graphics. Yours has only HD2000.
The GT 1030 has DP out which will work with 4K 60Hz monitors.

many many thanks for your quick reply so helpfull,
i finaly baught a GTX1050 on Amazon and wait for it now .... i really enjoy this hp 6300 SFF just need some work to be more quiet. Next step is to upgrade the CPU, but not sure the CState and HT will be reconized with my 3570. I plan to buy a 3770 but again not sure it will be reconnized by the mobo (no mention on HP website).

If you use the correct SSDT for either CPU, then you will get all the states and turbo boost working. The hyper-threading in the 3770 will work too. HP produced these with both the 3570 and 3770. Apple used both the 3570 and 3770 in iMacs in Late 2012.

Just make sure to use the iMac 13,2 SMBIOS and you'll be good to go.

Check your build number to find out: Open the System Information app then select Software and you'll see it to the right.

That means you have the supplemental update installed. It should be the same APFS.efi for that.
