i think i need your help now @b166ar , recently i update to 10.14.2, removed my rx560 (too loud in my case), and switched to hd630, one thing that bugs me is i cannot have dual monitor if i don't unplug and plug one of my monitor after boot, (it show dual monitor correctly during clover and booting, apple logo), but after boot completed, it only black screen on one of my monitor, if i unplug and replug it, it will show normally..., quiet confused now...

*smbios macmini 8.1
*bios: IGFX
*fake-platform-id: 0x59120000 (did try change to 0x3E90007, as it was appear on clover, yet no difference)

Why you still using Kaby Lake FakeID for your Coffee Lake? I think its not correct for Mojave anymore, did you ever try FBPatcher app?

Good point. I missed it. But Coffee Lake FakeID without any problems.

did you ever try FBPatcher app?

I played with it, but after I configured everything manually.

Kaby Lake FakeID changed to Coffee Lake FakeID :beachball:

config.plist ▸ Devices ▸ IntelGFX = 0x3E918086
config.plist ▸ Graphics ▸ ig-platfrom-id = 0x3E9B0007 (you can also try 0x3E920003)

Updated EFI.

Try this first:
config.plist ▸ Devices ▸ IntelGFX = 0x3E918086
config.plist ▸ Graphics ▸ ig-platfrom-id = 0x3E9B0007 (you can also try 0x3E920003)

Also swapping monitor cables could help.

You can also check @xmark topic — they discuss multimonitor setup and iGPU patching. Im using eGPU, so cant provide any support for iGPU :rolleyes:

As suggested by @RandomTech use FBPatcher for proper setting of your intel GPU, fake-platform-id route will not work properly in Mojave, by creating the patch now all my 3 ports DP,HDMI1.4,HDMI2.0 works properly, other benefit is very easy configuring your USB ports under 15 without actually programming SSDT-UIAC.aml, as in Mojave USB port limit patching will not work

I had to play with it.
It took more force than expected, but they did click securely into place.

I had to unscrew the card from the network module to make it fit.

Perhaps your card had different connectors.

My people are from Ukraine, back in 1900.


WOW, I really interesting with your card!
Could you tell the module number or where I could find one like this?

All works fine on
3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon RX 570 8192 MB

I am experiencing some random reboots and they are really random sometimes even when the machine is idle. Couple a day roughly. So far I've ruled out video problems as they happen with both RX and intel. Also there were none on high sierra.

if anyone is dual booting with ubuntu I can report that BCM94360CS2 wifi is working fine, however the BT is unusable for audio.

Install and run EssentialsList.command. It will generate archive with «problem reporting» files on your /Desktop. Attached this archive to your post and I will take a look.

I've also experienced random reboots. But this was a PSU problem…
