How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[kgp]

No, I am working on a big project with a client that has a system to get 7 1080ti GPUs installed in one system with a special GPU box! It works on 10.13.6 but the only problem is that the graphics drivers with 10.13.6 are buggy. We need to use 10.13.2 or earlier for it to resolve the issue. I am trying to install 10.13.2 to fix the problem. Do you have your older thread posts saved when you wrote a build guide for 10.13.0? and the associated files? Thanks!

Client?

@kgp Vega 56 arrived - works out of the box with all monitors and DP ports.
It's a beast though

Apparently I crashed my original BluetoothKexts because of the dongle I used (which works perfect with it) - but the suggested expansion card arrived now:
ABWB 802,11 AC WI-FI + Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM943602CS Combo Karte für Hackintosh (Mac OS X) Flughafen Computer

As far as i understood the guide - it should work out of the box as SSDTs would be cosmetic. It's strange that I didnt backup the kexts.
Can anybody upload these original kext for High Sierra 10.13.6. Didnt find them online. That would be lovely

NEVER modify your Kext's in /System/Library/Extensions... IF you do, at least make a backup to the folder!!!

Here are those files from my system.

i put my pc into sleep last night, then i wakeup and find my pc totally power off.... so weird!!!

may be caused by RAMdisk? bcz i move the ~/Library/Caches folder to ramdisk?

also, if i dont turn off my soundblaster x7, i cannot put my pc into sleep,is this normal?

Following the SSDT guide creation from @kgp, I successfully implemented my system by adapting SSDTs found in his GitHub library however when it was time to create new ones for audio card and IEEE card, I struggled a bit more. The first audio card was easy to implement but'm having trouble with the IEEE Card ( used with other audio interface ). Anybody can point me out on what I'm doing wrong? I cannot get rid of "@102,0,0" on Slot-5. Thank you very much in advance.

@RomanoMac, install these files with the correct permission using kext utility!

Thank you very much !!! I knew I was missing a line but could not find a similar example for that extra " EPG0@0 ". I learned a lot from you.
