pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Yes, you can use that EFI. The only difference is the High Sierra one spoofs Kaby Lake IGPU.

Ok. Thank you.

Looking for a little help...

Can someone who's using IGPU only please test this EFI folder? I just need to know if it boots okay.

I'm tired of pulling my video card for testing...

Please remember to make a backup of your working/existing EFI folder to the EFI partition of a USB flash drive in case something goes horribly wrong!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pastrychef,

I've been following you guide and have a close setup as you have. I have an ASUS Strix Z370-I (mini-ITX) and Intel Core i5 8500 and using the built-in IGPU. Everything works so far and I event got HDMI audio working. The problem is this massive screen tearing happening and makes it unusable. I'm using the the latest firmware for the motherboard which is 1410. Followed the recommended bios settings (with DVT memory 128MB and also tested higher value, no effect).

If I create a vanilla installer with only fakeSMC as kext, the screen has this purple haze but no screen tearing or glitches.
If I add Whatevergreen kext, no purple haze but screen tearing happens.

Used your EFI (including the latest one) and screen tearing/glitch happens.

Tested on Mojave and High Sierra and same screen tearing happens.

I'm new to setting up a hackintosh so maybe this is something simple that I'm not aware.

Attaches are screenshots. Thank you.

Damn, it worked. I missed that setting.

With that, you latest EFI for Mojave IGPU works. Shutdown, Sleep, Wake and HMDI audio.

I have not yet tested lan/wireless since I was stuck with the graphics issue. My silence will mean everything worked as expected. Thank you very much.

I will have to add changing to iMac18,1 to post #1. Thanks for helping me test!

can anyone explain this message that accompanies updates from asus? what does this ME mean? a new one appeared? and I know what ME's shortcut means (Intel® Management Engine Critical Firmware Update)
Is there a new security issue?

Yes, I think this update patches a security issue with Intel ME.

The microcode is most probably to add support for the upcoming CPUs.
