[Success] Core i7-8700K@5GHz, GeForce 1080Ti, Gigabyte Z370-HD3P

[imatrix]

Hi guys,

finally i have first and powerful Hackintosh build on new Coffee Lake platform.

This is hardware list:
Intel Core i7-8700K overclocked to 5 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics card
Gigabyte Z370-HD3P Motherboard
16 GB, 3 000 MHz Memory
Samsung 960 Pro 1 TB SSD, NVMe, M.2 (APFS)
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Wireless PCIe Card
IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Dongle (working Apple Mouse)
Samsung UE55KS9090 Monitor (curved), adapter Club3D DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0, running 4K@60

Everything works (Board sound, HDMI sound, iMessage, iCloud, Mac App store etc.) and its incredibly fast, but it was haaaaard

How did you overclock it? I generated the ssdt but can’t seem to get above 4.3 in OS X.

Hi,
thanks for sharing your post! Was watching it in the last days, because i have the same mobo and an Intel i5 8600K with 10.13 running. Unfortunately i am experiencing random freezes. My system may work for a day, but on the other day it freezes after 10minutes or later... in a german hackintosh-forum i posted my issue, but didn't get any help yet.

It would be nice, if you could provide any further information like BIOS-Settings, EFI and steps for installation! Thanks a lot! Best wishes from Germany!

how did you make an ssdt? I have an 8100 but the piker script isnt updated yet.

I added the 8700k under "User defined.cfg" -- you can see my changes here: https://github.com/ibash/ssdtPRGen.sh/commit/a5531218245e3002c9e47a8694d3d5e5577d9476

I dont understand any of that. Would it be too much trouble for you to make the script compatible with 8100?

Done: https://github.com/ibash/ssdtPRGen.sh/commit/a3ef4d2417e2252cd96a4842f94e113c4e001fa5
For what it's worth, I got those values from: https://ark.intel.com/products/126688/Intel-Core-i3-8100-Processor-6M-Cache-3_60-GHz

To use this you'll need to grab the zip with data from _my_ fork (not Piker-Alpha):

curl -o ~/Library/ssdtPRGen.zip https://codeload.github.com/ibash/ssdtPRGen.sh/zip/Beta
unzip -qu ~/Library/ssdtPRGen.zip -d ~/Library/
mv ~/Library/ssdtPRGen.sh-Beta ~/Library/ssdtPRGen
rm ~/Library/ssdtPRGen.zip

Then do:

~/Library/ssdtPRGen/ssdtPRGen.sh -p "i3-8100"

To generate the ssdt.

2 caveats:
1. I don't know if this will actually work for you, it seemed like my turboboost wasn't fully working, so I'd need to dig deeper
2. I'm not liable if this does something bad to your system

The i3-8100 has no turboboost like the i5 or i7 CPUs.
