Skylake Z170X UD5 - HD530 Graphics 4mb

[skins9009]

Hi All,

I have a Gigabyte z170x UD5 TH Mobo and using the intel hd530 graphics with Bios version 5, I installed High Sierra from a fresh install and am getting those screen flickers as the HD530 is showing 4mb.

I've read various posts about and seems this is a common issue but nothing has worked from the similar guides I've followed.

Everything else works apart from the UBS 3 ports (not tried usb c yet) but I guess I can wait for that until I've sorted the graphics (unless someone knows a simple method)

My SMBIOS is 14,2 as per multibeast but I've been told 17,1 might better for my set up although I'm reluctant to mess about again until I get the graphics sorted then can clone then change.
I've been at this for 5 days trying various ways and getting black screen at boot up etc but now I can boot from clover straight from my internal ssd.

attached are the config.plist and some screen shots

Any Help would be much appreciated as I'm starting to lose my mind!!

I think I've got the right kexts and they are in my "other folder" and have deleted all the empty folders before 10.13 but obviously missing something, have messed about with ig-platform-id & inject intel on and off and nothing changes.

Thanks in advance!

use 17,1 as that is for skylake

also don't inject intel in config.plist

is probably not needed anymore:
-disablegfxfirmware

Ok Great, will try those. Should I change the SMBIOS from Clover Configurator or using Multibeast?

Thanks

you can edit your config.plist in clover configurator to make those changes

I done those changes and about to restart...

Nothing has changed but I've been able to reboot so that's one thing! I've attached my new config.plist, in rtvariables the SMBIOS is 17,1 as changed but system is still 14,1 does this make a difference?

Thanks!

Am I right in saying I should delete the Kext “fakepciid_intel_hd_graphics.kext” before I start?
