Oh wow, I didn't even realise that was a third M.2 slot. I should have bought an M.2 adaptor for the wifi. I bought a Broadcom BCM94360CD and a PCI express adaptor last week but they haven't arrived yet.This motherboard has three M.2 slots. Two are for SSDs and one is for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. HS07 is connect to the third one only.

Wi-Fi/Bluetooth works better when connected to the M.2 slot.
Thank you for the wonderful guide pastrychef. I plan to follow it step by step as I assemble my machine. Have you tested this build with any adobe cc apps specifically premiere pro? I'm hoping to use a hackintosh as my primary editing machine and I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around why AMD works better than NVIDIA. Nothing I've read has given me a definitive answer as to which would be better for editing and rendering 4k in premiere. Hoping to know more about this before I take the plunge. Thanks!
As much as I want to go AMD, my build is small form factor and I need to keep temps and fan noise low. I'd like to go liquid cooled and right now it's just too difficult to find and too expensive to invest in an AMD Vega liquid cooled card. I'm thinking now, I'll give the GTX 1080 Hybrid a shot, as I've read some users here are having success getting the Nvidia drivers to run smoothly on High Sierra. I wouldn't be updating the OS frequently, but down the line I'll have to and that's where I'd be risking Nvidia driver support.Which GPU are you going for?
Ahh your internet speeds are amazing, wish we had them in Australia

Ok, I solved my Final Cut Pro / Crash-Problem...
The solution was fairly easy; I buyed a Geforce 1080Ti !
It even supports 4K/60Hz over HDMI what the Vega64 doesn't without an active DisplayPort Adapter.

Why you don't go for a custom water-cool loop ?
Then your system would be nearly soundless.
