Most Basic install of Sierra on GA-Z170-WIFI with GTX-1060 card and web drivers

[macs_forever]

I have probably gone through more than a dozen reinstalls with this system. It's current status is it is running 10.12.5 (updated from 10.12.4 though App Store) with NVidia web drivers. Hardware configuration:

• GA-Z170-WIFI motherboard
  
• i7-6700k processor
• 32GB crucial RAM per buyers guide
• BIOS F21
• EVGA Single fan (short, 6.8 inch long) GTX-1060 3GB card
• Apple MacBook Air wifi/bt card in M.2 adapter
• Windows 10 running on Samsung 960 Pro 1TB NVMe drive
  • not visible to Mac OS
  • Selectable from Clover at boot time.
• Mac OS 10.12.5 running on Crucial MX300 1TB M.2 SATA drive (1 of 2)

MultiBeast 9.selections:

• UEFI clover with emulated NVRAM option (critical)
• Increase max port limit for 100 series
• NVidia Web Drivers flag
• (some stuff comes along for the ride without selecting it)

Installed Web Drivers after MultiBeast completed.
Upgraded from 10.12.4 to 10.12.5 from the App Store
restarted
Upgraded NVidia web drivers from control panel

What works under this configuration:

• Wifi and Bluetooth natively with no special configuration
• GPU with web drivers
• sleep appears to work OK
• USB 3 ports work but it takes a few seconds for drives to show up

Not working and unknowns

• 1 Ethernet port appears to show up, untested, don't care because I use wifi.
• No built-in audio, I use a Behringer U-Control UCA222 USB dongle.
• Shutdown reboots the machine, I just hold down the power button when the bios screen appears to shutdown completely.
• No access to the NVMe M.2 card under MacOS

I'll update as I make changes. This is just the baseline. I'll consider writing it up as a build when I am done but I wanted to share with everyone how little is really needed to get the GA-Z170N-WIFI running. I know I could have added more detail. I'll provide what ever is asked, if I'm asked.

I have the same setup as you and have no audio (onboard) and I got my web driver working but it's spotty and I only have a 1280x1024 resolution option. Looks like crap. I've done all the things you have. I don't get it.

I don't like the hack drivers & built-in sound. I use a USB based sound card that is osX compatible. (Behringer U-Control UCA222). The Jabra SoleMate bluetooth speaker is on clearance at Amazon for $50. It has a built-in sound card too. Just hook it up to USB and it works.

My web drivers are working perfectly. Are you sure the web drivers are working? double check after each reboot to make sure. Something is different. How did you configure Multibeast? You MUST use clover with NVMemory emulation and the Nvidia web driver flag.
