  3. Place the latest USBInjectAll.kext from here, in the EFI folder of the installer (EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other).
  4. Place the latest RealtekRTL8111.kext from here, in the EFI folder of the installer (EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other).
  5. Remove VBoxHfs-64.efi from (EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI), then place HFSPlus.efi from here, in the same folder.
  6. Make sure InjectATI is set to true in the config.plist, this can be done with Clover Configurator or with a Plist Editor.
  7. Make sure FBName is set to "Radeon" without the quotes, in the config.plist, this can be done with Clover Configurator or with a Plist Editor. It will be found under the Graphics Section.
  8. Make sure ATI FakeID is set to 0x67B01002 in the config.plist, this can be done with Clover Configurator or with a Plist Editor. It will be found under the Devices Section.
  9. Install it!
  10. Continue the Guide.
Note 1, When Installing the .kext files, remove all folders except for 10.11 & Other

General:
  1. Boot to your installation using the USB installer.
  2. Install Clover to your installation, then mount the EFI of the USB Installer.
  3. Copy the config.plist from the USB Installer, to your installation.
  4. Use the IOAPIC Patch found here.
  5. Use the SMBIOS found here.
  6. Use your favourite kext installer to Install FakeSMC.kext and RTL8111.kext.
  7. Place USBInjectAll.kext into (EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11) on your installation.
  8. Reboot without USB Installer.

Hi nicegamer7,

Your post is very helpful, thanks for that.

I am going to buy a motherboard in which I can install Windows and Mac OS Sierra both the operating systems.

So, shall I buy this motherboard "Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3"? Mac OS Sierra works perfectly in this motherboard, right?

Please confirm.

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm new: I assume the "installer" is the USB I created with Unibeast, but I don't see an EFI folder on it to insert those kexts into (as instructed on step 2). Sorry for the dumb question.
 
Hey nicegamer7 Great guide!! any chance of attaching your ssdt-usb.aml?? :)
 
I am having trouble with the Ethernet connection. Using the same motherboard (GA-Z170-HD3) and running Sierra 10.12.2. Everthing seems to work fine besides the Ethernet. I have tried RTL8111, IntelMausiEthernet, and more. No dice. Using XCode (https://github.com/Mieze/RTL8111_driver_for_OS_X) and/or Multibeast, making sure I delete the non-working kext as i try them out. Any Suggestions, Thanks in Advanced.

Please help, I can't figure out how to make usb work with Z170-HD3 ddr3 and sierra.
I place USBinjectall.kext in EFI/Clover/kext/10.12 and ./other (creating 10.12 folder that didn't exist).
I also tried: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/usb-new-raise-port-limit-patch-for-macos-10-12-sierra.202329/
I tried with and without GenericUSBXHCI.kext installed via multibeast

Bios settings are the same of the first post of this guide.

I tried with imac 17.1 definition and 14.2, same result (using KextsToPatch edit for 17.1 definition).

tried with hd7770 and without.
USB flash (10.11.3) created with unibeast 6.1.1, also tried with terminal - same result.
Used the IOAPIC Patch, also USBInjectAll.kext - same result.
Tried without FakeSMCSensor's.

Hi,
I have Sierra up and running on my Gigabyte Z170-HD3 everything runs fine except that i have small hickups or call it micro freezes for a microsecond or 2 maybe longer the whole system freezes, mouse, keyboard input sound output stops and the starts working again.
This happens very frequent.
I have a 1080 nvidia card with latest web drivers and acceleration is working. But i am pretty sure I had this problem when using the internal intel cards aswell.

I have added my config.plist

Hardware
Gigabyte Z170-HD3
Intel Core i5 6600K 3.5 GHz 6MB
Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2133MHz CL14
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Sea Hawk X
TP-Link TL-WDN4800 N900
ASUS Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter

USB mouse and keyboard and USB headphones

Anyone have any ideas?

I have solved it.
I have no idea what caused it but I installed the audio drivers and took out an extra usb3 card i had installed in the computer that i had forgotten about and unplugged everything except keyboard mouse and headphones. After this the stuttering is gone and I am happily enjoying my hackintosh.
 
Hi! I have this Motherboard, anyone else have trouble with the NVRAM? Do I need the EmuVariable to make it works?
