Hi. You've got a really nice build here.

I was just wondering if the FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext are necessary. On RehabMan's page, there's no mention of HD 630...

Thanks! I'm really liking it so far. Thanks for catching that - I must have removed them myself at some point as they weren't in L/E or S/L/E, but hadn't remembered doing it - updated the guide to remove them. Thanks for the heads-up!

Question, does the Clover boot screen appear when using Nvidia GPUs?

Question, does the Clover boot screen appear when using Nvidia GPUs?

Yes, but only once you've installed drivers for the GPU - you'd need to configure an initial setup using on-board graphics, I believe.

With Nvidia video cards, you see the entire boot process, including Clover.

Using iMac15,1, iMac17,1, or MacPro6,1 system definitions may result in black screen during the macOS loading which will require fixes detailed here:

Would you mind doing a Unigine Heaven Benchmark? I would like to compare with my build!

TS, is the thunderbolt 3 hardware showed in the Mac system list?

Sure thing - have added them to the benchmarks section in post #1.

TS, is the thunderbolt 3 hardware showed in the Mac system list?

The USB 3.1 ports (I assume that's what you meant by Thunderbolt 3) show as PRT1 and PRT2 under PXSX@0 in IORegistryExplorer.

I don't have Thunderbolt hardware in the system report. What about you?

Would you mind of sharing what setting you put for thunderbolt in ASUS Bios menu?

As I mentioned above, I assumed you meant USB 3.1 with the Type C connector. The ASUS motherboard used in this build does not contain Thunderbolt hardware. I believe there are Gigabyte mobos that have Thunderbolt hardware in them though. Have a look at this thread.
