Appreciated but I cannot find the file your guide specifies in library (see screen shot).

Then use terminal commands also described
I haven't checked the filelocation in Sierra but i know that terminal option still works
Just checked and you are right it´s not there anymore but terminal way is much easier

@kgp - fyi you have a broken link in the audio configuration section...

AppleALC - Optional Audio Configuration I
b.) Download and unzip the "AppleALC Audio.zip"<--- this hyperlink is broken

I you would have continued reading, just afterwards it reads: ! file attached to my post ! which means file attached at the end of my guide..

Anyway I corrected the link, which should work now!

Thanks! Got me back into Sierra. So I clicked the AGDPfix link and there are two sources there. I believe one is AMD is that correct? Anyhow, I ran the fix and restarted without any problems. When I switch graphics to NVIDIA web drivers the system will reboot but looses the monitor connection on login screen. I still have a very buggy monitor in front of me. I was able to fix this at one point on the first install of Sierra I did but I have no idea how to fix this now. The system also does not recognize my other monitors when it did before this mess happened. Any help is greatly appreciated!

But both mobo and CPU? Hard to believe...

Well it is both. I bought a brand new A II and a 6850 just in case, and ended up replacing both. Luckily everything booted right away. At least now I can still work while I wait on RMA's

Hi guys, thanks for the great guide. I'm struggling with booting up from the USB I created. I have Asus X99-A and I've tried Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 and Sandisk Ultra Fit 3.0 and none of them boot up. The BIOS does recognize the drive and it says UEFI: Sandisk but whenever I try to boot from the it just goes back to BIOS. I also upgraded the BIOS to 3505. Any help is greatly appreciated. I tried different USB ports and xHCI settings.
