Guide to installing Sierra on a Gigabyte z270x-ud3 with everything working and the on-board video
This guide will walk you through the complete setup, using my whole efi folder/setup with kext in the right places and the fixed config.plist. I'll explain how to dump everything in the right spot if you don't feel like messing with the clover configurator and kext files.
**If you don't want to use my setup you can use the these 2 websites to follow their instructions. I used both sites and setting to get everything working. Site 1 Site 2
