Just put all default apps in one folder. It's will be enough.

Here's a test with Launchpad.

Thanks for your input. Really appreciated. A few others people including CorpNewt confirmed that choppy/stuttering animation on UHD 630 on 4k monitor.

Thanks very much for your support on this thread. I have always had screen flickering using your EFI folder on Mojave with iGPU on a Mojave Z370 8700K system. I have always needed to apply a patch to the IOPCIPrimaryMatch key of AppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext to overcome this when using iMac18,1 or iMac18,3. Moving to iMacPro1,1 has completely solved this. It's nice to have an untouched system now.

This is weird, we have the same systems but I've never had this problem.

What patch did you use?

What patch did you use?

Add 0x3E918086 0x3E928086 to <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

Add 0x3E918086 0x3E928086 to <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

What version of macOS were you using? Those should be in there already. UHD 630 has native support.

These keys were not there in any version I tried. After applying the 10.14.5 update they are gone again:
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x59128086 0x59168086 0x591B8086 0x591C8086 0x591E8086 0x59268086 0x59278086 0x59238086 0x87C08086</string>

I was not exactly sure what these were doing, but they always stopped the flickering after applying a system update. I have always used your EFI folders unaltered (apart from serials & SmUUID).

Anyway, it's all working smoothly with iMacPro1,1

Hi @pastrychef : congrat to your build.
I also have i9-9900K and getting too hot with CPU full load (HandBreak, 7zip,...) with Cooler Master Master Liquid ML240L.
Did you have any issue with hot CPU? your Noctua NH-D15S cooling CPU to how many degree while full load.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Under Prime95, my CPU tops out at about 82C and system remains extremely quiet. With Handbrake, it's usually 80C or lower.

Please keep in mind that I'm overclocked and my CPU has been delidded.
