[SUCCESS]Prodesk 600 SFF G3 - High Sierra 10.13.3

[pepetuelo]

So it has been a while since I post something and decided to spend some time on this project using a spare ProDesk 600 SFF G3 I had laying around in my office.

So far everything seems OK for the most part. I can boot without any issues and use the build without any problems.

The components I'm using are pretty much standard with this machine, I mean I did not add or remove any stock hardware from the computer.

The method I use to prepare the High Sierra USB is UniBeast found on this guide.

Machine Specs:
Prodesk 600 SFF G3
i7 6700 Skylake @ 3.40 Ghz
SSD - 256GB Micron
8GB DDR4 2400 Mhz (Single Stick)
Acer monitor - 1080p
DP to DVI adapter
System Definitions - 17.1

BIOS

Bios settings can be found on this LINK

The installation process is simple, I followed the guide from TMX86 site and did not use APFS. After the installation was completed I mount the EFI partition and copy the EFI Folder attached to this Post to the EFI partition.



What works:

*Integrated 530 Intel Video Card

*Audio using VoodooHDA

*USB 3.0 & 2.0

*Ethernet (I have to use the latest IntelMausi kext from RehabMan-BIG THANKS!!!) The one from MultiBeast did not load property.

*For video, I'm using Display port to DVI adapter. The resolution of the monitor I'm using is 1080p.
Sleep/Awake - It works but if I leave it for long periods of time sleeping and try to awake the computer it just restarts. ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

iMessage - Working so far using the iDiot's Guide.

* NOTE (BIOS Time Reset upon reboot): I'm putting this in here because although I'm able to boot and use the computer fine, the time in the BIOS gets reset from time to time and I have no clue how to prevent this. Any help will be appreciated into resolve this. I have to uncheck "Set date and time automatically" in settings to keep the OS time correctly.
What doesn't Work:

If I turn Off the machine it automatically turns back on - The way I have resolved this to set in the S5 maximum power savings, otherwise the machine will automatically power On after shutdown.


Here are the result from geek bench:

@xunil75, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card.
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard (Mobo).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Try this to prevent standby mode after a long sleep - I use the same for my HP 800 G1 USDT - it means it won't enter the very low power standby mode but should resume fine after sleep:

sudo pmset -a standby 0
