@jerivalu would you mind posting your config.plist here? I have done the Multibeast Raise Port Limit as you did, but I still don't have USB 3 ports working. Thanks.

Post #15 worked for me:

Sierra on GA-Z170X-UD5-TH (USB2 Issue) - Solved!

I have the same board like you but at installation i see only the Apple Logo after clover start. Not more.

Maybe some can help me

After installing, when in windows, make sure to NOT install the Realtek audio drivers for the motherboard! This will make it so your rear audio port will not output sound in OSX!

That is wrong . I have installed the Windows codec and it works . The Glover variant doesn't work

I believe the statement is that the Windows drivers work, the gigabyte ones do not.

Ok, it's been long enough - has anyone upgraded their box (built from this thread) to OSX 12? I've been holding out because everything has been working great, but I figured I'd ask to see how big of a hassle it is.

Thx

Yeah I tried this past weekend - and it was a dismal failure. I ended up creating like 100 UEFI entries on the drive... Never really got it too boot into Sierra/complete the install. When booting back into El Capitan - it was broken, no audio, spotty internet etc.

Granted I have no real experience doing this, as I just followed Jerivalu's guide getting El Capitan working (which worked 100% with 0 issues...). Compounding my stupidity, I didn't even to the Carbon Copy Cloner backkup properly - I backed up files, not an image. So all I can do is restore individual files/programs...

So, I formatted the drive before work this morning, and will be attempting a fresh install of Sierra using all the same settings later tonight.

I am sure there is a way of doing this successfully - but, I wasn't.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was looking at the Clover upgrade guide and it looks SO easy

I tried a direct update from El Cap and it was also pretty difficult and only semi functional. I then formatted the drive and did a fresh install from USB (sierra and the lastest multibeast) and it was perfect (you'll need to apply the HD530 sierra glitch fix). Then I migrated everything over from the backup.
