Some hardware issues with 8th CPU and High Sierra

[TomHsiung]

I have brought another computer with all component exactly as same as the buyer's guide for custo-Mac mini, except I use Kingston DDR4 4GB x 2.

CPU: i5-8400
GPU: IGPU
MB: Gigabyte H370N WiFi
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 250 GB
HD: Seagate 4TB

First, the about this Mac pane shows the CPU is unknown.
Second, the IGU only has 7MB RAM.
Third, the system is significant unstable. Unexpected reboots frequently happened during the High Sierra installation.
Fourth, to shut down the computer resulted in a reboot instead of shutting down.

I suggest all 8th CPU users do not use High Sierra.

There’s a fix for the CPU unknown issue, IGPU as well. Reboots are normal during installation.

NO, absolutely not. It rebooted twice time as what should be.

Mojave install boots 3-4 times during install. It may say 40 min remaining and the reboot after 30-60 sec.

Does the Mojave 10.14 successfully recognize your 8th generation Intel CPU?
