Hey guys, this is a progress update.
I am currently posting from this from my new rig. MultiBeast finally ran all the way through without any lockups, and the rest of the post-install went through without a hitch. My systems loads into macOS without the flash drive now thankfully.
The recent macOS update also went through successfully and everything seems stable.
I couldn't wake my computer up from sleep so I had to power cycle it. My current solution is to disable sleep mode as an option and figure out the problem later.
I downloaded Final Cut and did a test encode of some stock footage I found online. No crashes of freezes on launch or during the encoding process. It seems stable. In fact, I haven't found a piece of software currently that hasn't worked anything other than normally so far.
I'm currently posting this through WiFi, and I just transferred my test video through Bluetooth to my phone so my wireless card works!
My Intel graphics is recognized but it doesn't show any video memory associated with it the way the post-install guide does. Not sure if this is going to be an issue later on but everything seems to work at the moment.
Under PCI in system report, it shows Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 and USB C as well as RX 580 Graphics and Sound. As I currently do not own any Thunderbolt devices, I cannot test compatibility yet. In fact, I now realize that many of the things I'm not seeing in my system report compared to the post-install section is likely due to the fact that the original machine has an OWC thunderbolt dock plugged in. Are there any inexpensive devices recommended for testing the ports? $300 seems a bit steep for a device that doesn't offer much new functionality.
I also have a few questions regarding future upgrades. Will the system allow for drop-in upgrades to the processor, RAM, and/or video cards in the future without any trouble, or would I have to reinstall/reconfigure upon upgrade?
