i7-2600K
Graphics
GTX 560 Ti
1) use Unibeast v8.0.0 to make the boot-install stick.
2) do the usual BIOS settings
3) boot from boot disk
4) install on jHFS+ disk.
6) run Sierra Multibeast with
- "Realtek ALC889" (for audio)
- "Inject NVIDIA" (To enable HW acceleration and Metal)

still needed
- something for Ethernet motherboard NIC (I have an airport card natively recognised)
- USB 3 ports not working.

To use the system on a Fusion Drive :
- Created a Fusion Drive out of a 2TB SATA + 256GB Crucial SATSA SSD
- boot from the Unibeast boot-install stick
- in Disk Utility : chose "restore" to restore your High Sierra partition to the Fusion Drive.

Hello! Does GTX 560Ti working correct?
 
Could you possibly elaborate on the install? I'm getting stuck on the apple boot logo and can't get into the system from clover.

What do you mean by jHFS+?
 
yes GTX 560Ti working perfectly (mostly used for Heroes Of The Storm).

@swain : jHFS+ = journaled HFS+ partition format
- first, use verbose mode to know where you're stuck on boot.
vor verbose mode use
Code:
-v
in the clover parameters.

Then are you blocked on boot when booting the installer or when booting your freshly installed High Sierra ?
note that High Sierra reboots several times to finish/complete the install.
 
I have the same board running sierra perfectly, but cannot upgrade either directly or with USB. I'm using legacy BIOS F12. Are you using EFI? Would you be open to posting your config.plist and kexts from your "other" folder?
 
I had success installing High Sierra on my GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3, but could boot it only from the USB stick. The config.plist and clover install done by Multibeast somehow results in ACPI errors when trying to boot from the boot partition. Copying the config.plist from USB to the boot partition works, but any minor non-ACPI related change to the config.plist (like theme, for example) results in not being able to boot. Anyone experiencing this?

Here another thread I am disussing it:

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...east-not-with-multibeast.238827/#post-1634914
 
I finally got the update to work. The installer would fail with a kernel panic. The key was adding the following keys to the ACPI/DSDT section in CLOVER/config.plist on the EFI partition:

HTML:
        <key>DropTables</key>
        <array>
            <dict>
                <key>Signature</key>
                <string>MATS</string>
            </dict>
        </array>

You can copy it from the config.plist on the uniBeast generated USB drive.
 
Never too late ...

Yes UEFI bios,

here is config.plist (my other folder is empty)

Hello! I have a 2700k cpu and the Z68X-UD3H-B3 board 610GT videocard but can't get to sleep working, and sometimes everything freezes after 2hours or more. Maybe you can give me advice - how to get everything working?

i have El Capitan installed before and everything works perfect.
