How to build Coffee Lake Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming with i7-8700K

[RuiNeves]

I went with AMD because I got tired of updating the drivers with every OS update as with my previous build. Post if you have any stability issues at 5.0 GHz.

What brand is your graphics card?
Gigabyte? Asus? Saphire?
Do you have dual monitors?
Thanks

Are you having video issues? I can use the DVI port on the Motherboard w/o issues but cannot get the HDMI port on the Z370-UG to output properly.

mthayer104; Have you been able to get onboard HDMI functional or did you not bother since you went dedicated?

i have same setup like you, but just using intel UHD. but my screen over than my monitor.

its any idea to solve it? thanks

My machine has been up and running for 10 days now at 5Ghz. Not had any problems with macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D47) or Windows 10 (1709), both run like a dream.

I'm hoping you can help a newbie troubleshoot my installation.

I'm running the following:

i7 8700
Asus Z370-PLUS TUF GAMING
using CPU graphics
dual monitors ( about 1.2k x1k each)
240G SSD​

I think I followed your instructions but ...

The result is I boot to a very dark High Sierra screen but can't log in. No apparent response to mouse or keyboard and it sometimes blinks. The good news (I think) is that one of the monitors goes blank part way through the boot which implies to me that it went into dual monitor mode.

This is using the UEFI: Os(iMAC) entry in my boot list. That takes me to a 4449 Clover boot screen. If I select FileVault Prebooter or macOS from iMAC I get the very dark login screen.

If I boot to either of those using the install USB I can login but it's single screen.

Attached are some screen shots of the disk layout and a copy of the EFI directory. I enabled bootlegging but I never was able to find them.

There were a couple of items that I need confirmation on:

a) download the EFI folder and copy and paste it.

I did a paste with replace at this step rather than a merge​

b) place the contents of “Go Sys Lib Ext Folder” into the Extensions folder in the system library

I copied the one file in it to /Volumes/iMAC/System/Library/Extensions

Updated to 10.13.4 but I have lost use of USB3 ports, apart from that working fine.

Updated to 10.13.4 but I have lost use of USB3 ports, apart from that working fine.

New USB Raise Port limit patch may be required for 10.13.4. See here for details.

Did you get your USB3 working? If yes could I please have your EFI.

[Ploddles]

Yes, all working now. I'll sort it out tomorrow and post it for you.

Here you go.
Just make sure you copy your serial number from you config.plist and overwrite mine. I should have done it but forgot.
