After several failures, now I finally get my new PC running on High Sierra.
  • 1st, just follow the kgp guide in this forum, and get a fresh installation with APFS.
  • 2nd, XCPM is totally fine with me, kgp has listed his complete instructions.
  • 3rd, I use iMac17,1 as well, and put the NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext in /L/E/ && lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/, otherwise I would not be able to boot up.
  • 4th, I use SSDT to cover the Nvidia HDMI audio. I followed the toleda 's guide and made my own fix listed down below. You can save it as aml file and put to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
Code:

Purpose of this thread: kgp 's guides on x99 and x299 are the most detailed and practical installation guide without your own much knowledge of hackintosh. But some tweak is still needed in order to dive into this wonderful world. Much appreciation to kgp of his continuous hard work on easy and thorough instruction.

I actually succeeded on 5960x+R5E+1080Ti @ 10.12.6 by following his guide as well.IMG_1019.jpg



GOOD LUCK GUYES!!!

Problem: Can't boot up with a fixed DSDT file (iasl 6.1), quite weird!

Hi @kencar,

Great work! I am investigating moving to an X299 system and was contemplating the i7-7920x CPU you have. That's a very solid Geekbench score you posted. Looking at the image, it would seem this is a base clock speed benchmark. Have you overclocked at all? If so, would you mind posting an OC'ed benchmark?

Thanks!
 
glad I found this thread, will try soon next weekend

After several failures, now I finally get my new PC running on High Sierra.
  • 1st, just follow the kgp guide in this forum, and get a fresh installation with APFS.
  • 2nd, XCPM is totally fine with me, kgp has listed his complete instructions.
  • 3rd, I use iMac17,1 as well, and put the NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext in /L/E/ && lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/, otherwise I would not be able to boot up.
  • 4th, I use SSDT to cover the Nvidia HDMI audio. I followed the toleda 's guide and made my own fix listed down below. You can save it as aml file and put to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched

would you mind to share what tweaks need to do for this Rampage VI Apex and what storage do you use? (i mean do use M.2 nvme PCIe ssd or just a M.2 Sata SSD ?)
and what do you mean with XCPM fine? do you mean it is working out of the box?
thankyou

Hello, Kencar! Hope it's not reviving dead topic, but i wanted to ask if you could share your EFI folder. I have almost the same set up, but can't make install launch, even though following all the instructions on the kgp's guide. Much appreciated :)
