Hi, and that you for fast response
so:
a) RAM checked on ASUS website (ok)
b) BIOS Settings: before every reinstall and bigger EFI change
I back to BIOS to verify if something is not changed - just for be sure
(I can understand you, because even I needed to read your guide 10 times because after 3-4 times was not enough and
every time I found some new detail
)
We are only humans so 'it's natural' to make a little mistake, sometimes
c) XCPM like in your guide
I will add EFI folder to show everything.

..tbc... I have to download Xcode again with my avg internet
then I will share the rest of results...
d) VoodooTSCSync checked
<key>IOCPUNumber</key>
<integer>19</integer> /19 for my 7900x
e) No comments
f) Before I was thinking, it was a bad command -turbo 4500, because should be 4300;
then I was thinking about GPU, but nobody says something wrong about that
so I was thinking about so Clover configuration mistake, but I don't think so
because it's your config.... I added only some details for iMessage etc
which after a lot of tests still don't work... even with all that guides (but I will think about that later)
g) Thank you for info, I will use Safari and Firefox (I tried something else because I didn't think Firefox is still supported for OSX) and for my comfortable work I need sometimes 2 or 3 internet navigators on the same time
to spare private and business accounts etc and it's easier and faster than logon and logoff every time on every site...
h) Reeboots:
Thank you for Menno87 for info
Because I have the same thing like 'window manager' restart
when it happens you see on your card power leds from 1 - immediately all are on and then I have
something like instant logoff ...
but if I don't close some application immediately (if it's possible) or if it's 2nd, 3rd time (windows manager restart) then I everything stops
and REBOOT :/
It was strange because last few times I tried to edit some photo with build in Photo editor, and after few minutes
the same thing ... everything stops and reboot...
I) Yes, sorry it was just for write faster sometimes...
HS - High Sierra
We have the same AppleIGB.kext and NVME I don't you at this moment
because I will reinstall final version on my 960evo, at this moment I use 850 and 840 evo for tests
KGP like I said a lot of times (for me) MasterKGP
I don't think it's something about your config difference, I think it can be something about my new Vega 64
so this is a reason why 2 days ago I wanted to ask you if we need lilu and greenkext
or maybe should I use only greenkext alone, but then I was thinking 'it's a stupid question' and I didn't even wrote a message
I updated lilu and whatevergreen to the latest versions, with a little hope...
but no, it's not much better...
What I want to mention again: I appreciate a lot your help!
(I was a little sad when I re read Forum rules, and we can't even buy you a beer, whisky or something like that
,
because it's forbidden
) so I don't know what I can say more than BIG Thank You
It's for you and almost the same thing for a lot of other cool people here
who help others (that's why I love that forum, it's like Amazing World Hackintosh Center)
I will do a lot of tests today ... so we will see what will happened without Chrome
only average usage of apps from AppleStore or something more 'sure'...
Have a nice day!
Cheers
