1) FixAirport_4000 is not compatible with sierra - it caused kernel panic for me.
2) Like VoiletDragon said: wrong SMBIOS - change it, this should help: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-configure-your-systems-smbios-correctly.198155/
3) CsmVideoDxe - I have this on, without it my Clover screen was stretched - no problems with that

Maybe this will help:

if this is your motherboard and cpu, try to base on this guide. Nvidia 1080 - you will get it to work with Nvidia Web Driver.

About your WiFi+Bluetooth module - it should work OOB, so if your EFI and SMBIOS will be correct it should start working.

Bare in mind that CsmVideoDxe is used for Intel HD Graphics I wouldn't recommend using it with Dedicated Graphics. Guess you have both onboard HD 4600 along with GTX 960? not a good combination. Using CsmVideoDxe with dedicated graphics can cause Black Screen at Clover.

No, I do not use Intel HD graphics. But it was the only solution to have not stretched apple logo and clover, in that moment Nvidia Web Driver was not loaded.
But for now I have skipped clover for faster start up - my config is complete, so I can turn it off :)
 
Thanks for the help guys.

It appears that all the flags being turned on is possibly a default setting within clover as i haven't turned them on. I will turn them all off to see if any issues are apparent and if they are go through them one by one.

Turning off 'FixAirport_4000' fixed it for me but i cannot turn on the 'Unlock with Apple Watch' feature as it says that it cannot connect to the apple watch.

Thanks guys :)

Then CsmVideoDxe is not needed. Look at GUI/ScreenResolution.

Attach config your currently using.
 
I have had to leave for work now but it is the same config i attached earlier but without the 'FixAirport_4000 fix applied.

Thanks Mezza
