I have successfully installed El Capitan 10.11.5 using Clover, on a single monitor connected to my GA-Z170N-WIFI using internal Intel HD 530 graphics by HDMI.

When I connect a second monitor (exactly the same) to the second HDMI port, nothing happens (the monitor appears dead).

If I reboot in that configuration, very early on in the boot process (before Clover's screen comes up I think), my second monitor displays a 'white noise' display, and crackling comes out the HDMI audio. The first monitor has a corrupt screen I can eventually see a mouse pointer on (this is why I don't know whether Clover is coming up). Removing the second monitor and rebooting still leads to a corrupt screen on the second monitor. Power cycle fixes it.

I've read:

and
http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/s...ing-as-of-10-11-4.188891/page-13#post-1248461

but this issue seems at least slightly different. It's as if there's a really early problem with two monitors (BIOS or Clover or similar).

Any ideas?
 
Arrgh, meant to put this in 'graphics' and now don't know how to move it. Sorry.
 
I am looking forward to buy the Z170N-WiFi for a Hackintosh build (El Capitan, perhaps Sierra) and want to use two HDMI to DVI connected monitors. Have you solved the problem ?
 
Nope. Currently I get it to work by removing one monitor whilst rebooting.
 
Trying to connect second monitor via DVI, first one set to HDMI and also having issues.

When try to set them all goes black and sometimes I see cursor or sometimes lollypop spinning and nothing else.
I want to extend them.

Do you have any suggestions?
 
I'm having the same issues. All black and spinning cursor. Were you able to fix this?
 
After Graphics Glitch Fix, i was able to activate the second monitor, but, in unusual and not practical way:

Config:
- MB: H170M-PLUS
- OS: Sierra
- HDMI(display 1)
- DVI(display 2)

Steps:
- Turn off display 2
- Remove a DVI conector from display 2
- Boot
- After boot, turn off display 1
- Conect DVI to display 2 and turn on
- Turn on display 2
- Ta-da! With luck, showup the desktop image
- Turn on display 1

Configuration does not withstand a reboot =/.
