Stork's MyHero Build: ASUS ROG Z170 MAXIMUS VIII HERO - i7-6700K - GTX 980

I believe ASUS has a Qualified Vendor List on the HERO's support web page.

I just learned about the problems with iBooks and nvidia cards. As i have a nearly identical build to the one in this thread: do you guys have the onboard graphic card enabled? I did that to be atleast able to start iBooks. I still got some graphical "artifacts" with it.

Nope, iGPU is not enabled. See Post #1, BIOS Setup, to see what BIOS changes I used after invoking the Optimum Defaults.

I don't use iBooks; I've been using a Kindle for years.

Thanks. Just a quick question: on page one you mentioned that you start of with SMBIOS 14,2 but want to try others aswell. Do you still use 14,2 or switched to 17,1 which officially supports Skylake? I was wondering this, because ssdtPRGen.sh is complaining with SMBIOS 14,2 that it is not compatible with Skylake. I tested 14,2 and 17,1 - both seem to run great so far. Which one should i run?

Oh and another note: i did install a Fenvi FV-T919 in this build. At first only WIFI and Airdrop was working. But Handoff / Continuity didnt. I had to logout all devices from iCloud and relogin, after that everything works. Even unlock with Apple-Watch works - YAY.

I'm still with iMac14,2 since that's the default. pastrychef tested both the 14,2 and 17, 1 on his Gene build and posted the result in his build description.

I exchange my SSD, and then I could install the system, but when I use MultiBest to install, It displayed " The installation failed ", how can I solve this problem?

Try running MultiBeast again, making sure you're selecting the right configuration items. Compare my MultiBeast Build window with yours before installing.

I double checked, mine is same as yours, do I need install HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_3.kext first that you mentioned
