It took me a while, but now 10.13 works fine on my hack. I did an update from 10.12.6 to 10.13.

First thing to do:

1)
Update Clover Bootloader to the latest version. Put the KEXT Files in Others

2)
Make sure, you drop MATS in config.plist. Otherwise it won't work at all.

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

3)
Update the BIOS in config.plist. Use Clover Configurator and choose your model, put in your old SN# and save the file.

Reboot.

4)
Start the installations by skipping APFS.

Code:
/Applications/"Install macOS High Sierra.app"/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --converttoapfs NO --agreetolicense

5)
Now the update process should work without any issue

6)
After 10.13 comes up, just update the NVIDIA Web drivers.


Hope it helps!
 
This is the BIOS from Step 3.

I deleted only the SN#

Thanks madman. I have the same board and CPU and was able to update after following step 2. I didn't skip updating to APFS and just ran the update as normal and it still worked fine for me.
 
None of the above has worked for me. Running latest clover and can boot to either Sierra drive installations but cannot get to usb drive installer or hard drive installer screen. Usually get as far as Mach reboot or appleHDAD lines repeated when -v invoked. I have same MB and GTX960. Over the years when unsuccessful it has always been due to video card but I'm stumped now.
 
I have gigabyte z77x ud3h and 3570k , here's some issues with me .
I installed and boot 10.13 use unibeast and install drivers with multibeast .
The issue is , I can't erase my disk during installation , just installed on my partition I've created before .
Btw , rx480 works fine .
 
I upgraded to High Sierra and I could boot from the Unibeast USB initially, however after I installed MultiBeast and latest Clover and I cannot boot with or without the USB.

When I try I get this kernel panic. I tried to drop MATS (which helped me get through the installation), but it is not helping me boot the installed system. Any ideas?
