[GUIDE] Sierra on the GA-Z170X-UD3

[MacInTheNet]

Yea I looked for the last version of everything... sorry I forgot to say that XD

i had a similar problem with the nvidia drivers, read on another thread somewhere, i needed to install EmuVariableUefi in order for NVRAM to work. you can install it using clover configurator, then go into Pref's Panel and set drivers to nvidia. Make sure you have NvidiaWeb checked and also uncheck nv_disable and nvda_drv in your config

I indeed needed EmuVariableUefi, thank you very much.

Anyone having USB speeds issues? All ports are working for me, but speeds are around 30mb/s (R+W), regardless of device used.

Ledde, check recommended BIOS settings

Thanks. Hmm, mine are basically the same. However, I can't boot with CSM Support: Disabled
So I'm set to Other OS. That would be the only difference... and running F5b for BIOS FW.
But I'm using a UD3-Ultra.
Following this build guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...170x-ud3-ultra-intel-i7-6700k-gtx-950.208305/

Kind of stuck at this point. and maybe should just accept the slower ports..

I used USBInjectAll.kext, and IORegistryExplorer to detect and disable appropriate ports. My USB 3.0 devices are showing up fine as SS ports in IORegistry, and running slightly faster than the USB 2.0. but still slow at around 100 mb/s.

What speeds are common with this build for USB 3.0 (external SSD)?

 

[Ledde]

Anything strange about my USB 3.0 bus in System Info? (see attached)

but still slow at around 100 mb/s

What device are you using for your test?
Most USB 3.0 thumb drives, for example, won't go beyond this speed...

I need help, waiting to finish .

When I get to the Post Install instructions, what is meant?

Post-Installation Configuration​

1. Run Clover installer (Choose the same as before, but also choose Install RC scripts on target volume (To fix missing NVRam))
2. Copy the same files as for the installer"

1) I ran clover on the freshly booted hackintosh (thrilling!!) and selected it to install on the new HD. Was that correct?

2) Where do I copy files to??

Or was I supposed to rebuild the USB key??

 

[nomad411]

Woohoo! Made huge progress, booting correctly now without USB key. Stuck at that one last step in the Post install, when having to run ssdtPRGen.sh

I noticed it still says I'm on a Mac Pro6,1 instead of imac17.1 as I selected in the steps previously

I"d love any guidance as to where to focus to resolve this


Here's the output I get:

And all is well..

I finally received my video card, tried to make it work with the current Sierra I had, no dice, just did a fresh reinstall using El Capitan and with the Method 3 fix found here #1 now have a beautiful system going. I'll be back for Sierra later

Viva Hackintoshes!! Thanks all who contribute here..

Just would like to share my success after following this thread and the fix for Intel530 flickering.
I was able to amend the "Audio on HDMI" to have sound divert to the channel as per attached screen capture.

This was done using TextEdit to open and edit the file below

audio_cloverHDMI-110.command

by adding the below code adds the detection of Sierra and process. otherwise it drops out from the loop for modification.

    10.12* ) gSysName=“Sierra”
    gSysFolder=kexts/10.12
    gSID=$(csrutil status)
    ;;

After amended the code. Execute it!
Then I re-inserted the code from dgladgov

<key>Devices</key>
<dict>
    <key>AddProperties</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>Device</key>
            <string>IntelGFX</string>
            <key>Key</key>
            <string>AAPL,GfxYTile</string>
            <key>Value</key>
            <data>
            AQAAAA==
            </data>
        </dict>
    </array>
</dict>

Reboot. Done. Enjoy.

I however am puzzled for the USB activation as described in this thread. as i originally used HS07 and HS08 for the installation of Sierra via a USB3 stick. after processing the

USB-SSDT.zip

file for USB, there is no option for SS09 and SS08, which put my USB3 stick only readable from the SS0X ports. any update is appreciated. I shall look up the .command file in due course.


My system is as below:

i7-6700
GA-Z170x-UD3
Corsair 2x8Gb 2400
ADATA SP920 256Gb SSD
CoolerMaster Masterliquid Pro240 Cooler
