How did you get all of those to work? Do I need to buy anything extra (like the OSXWifi BCM94360CD card you mentioned) or can the mobo do this by itself?

Yes, I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012LOT512/?tag=tonymacx86com-20. You could save about half the cost by sourcing your own bluetooth/wifi adaptor and pcie adaptors to plug it into but I just opted for the sure-fire solution since I don't always have the time to tinker. No drivers or kexts required since it is the same wifi adaptor on many macs. Here is a long thread that I reviewed before making my purchase decision. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...with-pcie-adapter-from-mallaid-taobao.137070/

Things have moved on, you don't need Lilu and WhateverGreen now, just enable RadeonDeInit in your config.plist.
Code:
<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
    <key>RadeonDeInit</key>
    <true/>

See https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/radeon-compatibility-guide-ati-amd-graphics-cards.171291/

Note that posts concerning AMD graphics are off topic in this User Build thread.
You should start a new thread of your own.

Ok P1LGRIM and if it's ok before your post ?
 
Can I get the config.plist?

I can't seem to get Clover to boot.

I have the same Motherboard and CPU with an EVGA 1080.

Clover just gets stuck at the white apple screen.

Here's mine. I generated a new S/N. I would generate your own and as well as an SmUUID on your system and plug those values in. I'm running a GTX 770. Also, I would suggest using -v to see why it's actually getting stuck.

Hello guys, I'm trying to get my system working. I was so close than suddenly lack of knowledge struck! I have the same Gigabyte mobo, an Nvidia 1050, 32 gigs of RAM, a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 (250gig) and an Intel i5-8600K. I broke my system while trying to get my graphic card to work. Since then, I cannot even boot my USB stick to reformat the SSD and reinstall everything. The following pictures show the verbose while booting with -v -s -x flags. Help would be appreciated! :(


Problem solved! I played with so many variables that i forgot to enabled XHCI Handoff. I then went into clover configurator and installed EmuVariableUefi.

Hello macboy123, thanks for sharing this awesome build.

I'm also planning on upgrading my current hack to coffee lake.
Back when I've build my i7-3770 hack, there was no need to modify anything, everything worked just by selecting the right options in MultiBeast.

- I dont need the IGPU, as I'll continue using my OOB working GTX770 without even needing nvidia web drivers
- I have an external USB audio interface which works OOB, so I don't need to get the onboard audio working, right?

I'd be really appreciated if you could elaborate a little more on what you did apart from installing said packages with MultiBeast?
How do I use the SSDT script? What can I safely skip with my older GPU and external audio interface? Can I just disable IGPU alltogether? What can be skipped now with FakeID not being needed anymore?

Thanks so much in advance!
 
Nevermind. Got it. Renaming HDAS to HDEF, reset HDA and inject audio code 11 worked for me. For some reason, even when I did the manual noapfs command. it still converted to APFS when I ran the installer from terminal...I was wanting to stick with HFS+... I'm gonna mess around and see if I prefer to stay on APFS or not.

how do you know if you're using APFS or not?
