[b166ar]

From now on I will make all updates in release sections on Github and announce it here. It will be easier to track all the changes in my build.

Here is a current release for people who wants to try macOS 10.14.5 beta 4 https://github.com/b166ar/Mac-Mini-Killer/releases/tag/beta

Hello, just out of curiosity, I have never been able to start with device=923E0000 as you have, it always fails me and you are not the only one.

It only works well with device=9B3E, we have the same motherboard, I only have iGPU.
I think it should work but I can only with that configuration, I don't know why.

I'm curious why my system works perfectly.

I have the same case, but aluminum (this one is from steel). Any ITX motherboard will fit. PSU300 will be enough for any CPU + RX590 or Vega 56.

But, I am not a fan of flex power supplies:

1. You need to mod it to work with consumer motherboards;
2. Make custom cables; standard cables will not fit the case;
3. Change build in fan; the standard is very noisy;
4. Selling it in the future is impossible.

Mine died in 2 months, so now I'm using Corsair SF600...

This guy has a little bigger version of this case for SFX PSU's like Corsair RX600 or RX450. I recommend you buy this version.

Hello first sorry for the delay and secondly thank you so much for your reply.

As I understood this case is better to fit with a bigger PSU like your corsair SF600 right ?

I checked on the store is that this Case ?

If I take this case what kind of fan should I take ? I'm not going to add an extra graphic card as I just need to do some music composition.

Do you think an i5 processor will fit with the system (OSX) like this one INTEL® CORE™ i5-8400T ?

Thank you [/QUOTE]

Yep.

I recommend you to choice version with hexagon holes. CPU fan will be less noisy with wide vents.

Noctua NH-L9i will be great for this case. I use it with i7-8700.

This CPU is compatible and should have enough power for your needs.

Switched to SMBIOS 19.2, because Intel Quick Sync stoped working with SMBIOS 19.1.

10.14.5 final works fine for me. USBports.kext via Hackintool seems to work again.
Edit: celebrated to early. After a RAM swop, I'm having the same sleep problem again with both USB implementation methods, even with the old ram and rollback from the before working Backup. A little weird behaviour.

Check or pmset -g settings. Sometimes you need to reconfigure it after major updates.

... mine USB 3.0 doesn't work either. Will try to fix it later today.

Thanks, settings still match your settings and nothing changed.
Sleep with switched of WiFi works fine. otherwise it wakes always after 9 minutes and sometimes Bluetooth stops working after wake.
I‘m curious why I couldn’t get back to working state, which I backed up :/
