Hi, everything was working well.
I updated to 10.13.4 and now my USB 3.0 is gone!!
It does not recognize a whole hub 3.0 hub.

The USB 3.0 port in the back seems to work. But it recognize a mixed USB 3/2 hub just for the 2.0 part

Any help?

Haven't upgraded yet, but this could be your USB fix (linked from Post #1 in the update thread):

hi @pastrychef
one question please. regarding creation of ssdt for usb, when you have the usb3 connected to internal motherboard header, should it be named 255 or 3?

the guide says: Common port connector types are USB2 = 0, USB3 = 3, internal = 255.

i have seen that you used "3" connector types. shouldn't be "255"?

I use 3 for the headers that are connected to the ports on my case. I use 255 for everything else.

How is your USB configured? Did you create an SSDT for your USB?

I can’t boot into macOS, how would I go about clearing the nvram?

Try clearing CMOS. Or, boot in to safe mode, single user mode, or recovery and use Terminal command:

sudo nvram -c

10.13.4 needs a new USB patch (replacement) in your config.plist. See bogdanw's Post #84 in the macOS 10.13.4 Update thread.

I decided sell my 1080 as well and go with integrated graphics since I don't game or do any video editing on this machine. With macOS 10.13.3, I had some issues with glitching but it became unbearable on 10.13.4. I found someone with similar issues on the Coffee Lake UHD630 and they reported success using SMBIOS iMac17,1. I tried that and all my graphical glitching issues are completely gone.

Is there any issues with using iMac17,1 instead of 18,3? Power management?

@pastrychef do you have any ideas on the above? Thanks!

There’s an old saying, “If it works, don’t mess with it!”

Hello.

Currently I am experiencing a new issue. My desktop restarts after long sleep.

I found some people solved it by disabling powernap and wake for network access or by disabling standby and autopoweroff.

I have no idea what is the best practice to solve this problem. Many thanks for your suggestions.

Btw, this is my current power related settings:

  System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 1

  Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10

  Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10

  Sleep on Power Button: Yes

  Automatic Restart on Power Loss: No

  Wake on LAN: Yes

  AutoPowerOff Delay: 28800

  AutoPowerOff Enabled: 1

  Current Power Source: Yes

  DarkWakeBackgroundTasks: 1

  Hibernate Mode: 0

  PrioritizeNetworkReachabilityOverSleep: 0

  Standby Delay: 10800

  Standby Enabled: 1

I am unaware of any graphics glitches when using IGPU. There were issues with sleep when using IGPU on Skylake and Kaby Lake. I don't think those sleep issues affect Coffee Lake.

It looks like you have it set to power off on it's own...

You can also disable hibernate:
Resource: [Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops | tonymacx86.com

*Direct quote from above guide:
"Be aware that hibernation (suspend to disk or S4 sleep) is not supported on hackintosh.

You should disable it:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage

Always check your hibernatemode after updates and disable it. System updates tend to re-enable it, although the trick above (making sleepimage a directory) tends to help.

And it may be a good idea to disable the other hibernation related options:"

sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
