First and foremost a very BIG THANK YOU AND A HUG to KGP! I have finally got mine to work!
My steps went like this:
1) I open up the computer and did the pin reset thing.
2) BIOS and EFI with install High Sierra USB according to the guide posted on page 1. But CSM launch has to be enabled becos' the POST message says my graphics is not UEFI compatible. No idea why.
3) Boot up and it went all the way to apple logo and then hung.
4) Search around and put in a TSCAdjustReset kext into the 'Other' folder. I did change the info.plist IOCPUNumber to 15 according to my 7820x which is a 8C/16T cpu.
5) Boot up and the installation was a success!
6) LAN only one port is working. Not sure why.
7) Went to download the nvidia web drivers as I'm using the GTX970. Screen mow is beautiful.
8) UnSolid kext works wonder. My drive maintained HFS+ with High Sierra OS.
A few question:
1) How do I get the disk to boot up w/o using the USB disk? I use a Samsung 840 SSD. Totally lost when reading the Post Installation on page 1. The boot disk EFI shows apple and firmware:
2) Can I dual boot to Win10 on the NVMe drive using EFI? Or do I need to just use the drive selection from the BIOS? I got it plugged out when installing H.Sierra.
3) The about this mac info is not complete. Does it matter?
4) The SSD doesn't show TRIM enable. Can I use the sudo trim enable command in terminal to enable it? Or does it require a kext? Pic of controller and disk.
That's all from me folks. It was a great learning experience! Big thank you to everyone here for your help. KGP you are the man!!!
