Hey bro,
First of all I wanted to say thank you ... Your guide worked for me like a clock

Originally I had a different motherboard than yours ... and I could not make the manual
But after I purchased a motherboard similar to yours .. it just worked!

Attaching images to a post

I only have 1 problem that I would be happy to help
I have the samsung 950 pro nvme
And I can not run it on my system

I'd love to know if you have the way to run it on my system

Anyway thank you for everything!
You are amazing.

And of course I've seen your new guide ... and I'll update you when the mac os high sierra has officially come out!

Let me provide a short add-on:

I know that it is very comfortable to let me work on the 10.13 Beta and then to install the final product by means of my desktop guide once 10.13 is finally released

However any successful work depends on user feedback! I therefor ask everybody to take a test drive and install 10.13 already now following my 10.13 desktop guide! This will provide you already now with the unique knowledge of being prepared for MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1! And it will provide me with the necessary feedback, collaboration and support to successfully continue my work now and in the near future.

In your particular case @ICEVISION , the EVO 950 PRO would be supported natively. Thus you could use this NVMe as the 10.13 test drive!

Cheers,

KGP

Ok...
In any case, I was unable to activate the NVME on 10.12
I will try to install 10.13 on it to give you feedback and support your work!

In any case I can not work on 10.13 because there is still no support for the graphics card ...

And for me it's important that my work is video editing

But I'll update your manual and wait for an update of nvdia

thank you for the quick reply!

Perfect! Once you have 10.13 fully operational on your EVO 950 PRO, it will be a minor step to install the Web Drivers once they are released. I will provide updates along all betas until the final release.

Many thanks for your support!

KGP,

First off, again, thank you for your help!!

Ivy-bridge boostrap looks correct, not sure on Broadwell-e, didn't see anything on that. I didn't change anything nor did I see any updated cpuid_set_info.

Here's something interesting, I'm gonna guess that HWmonitor is never always correct?

Check my attached photo...Haha.

Mine works fine!

Are you sure you are running the right HWmonitor/HWSensor version? It can't be the one I attached in my guide. Also check if you use the proper FakeSMC.kext!!

The Ivy-Bridge xcpm-bootstrap entry under 10.12.6 was already wrong. It should properly read:

Find: 8d43c483 f822
Replace: 8d43c683 f822

What about Broadwell-E?? Does anybody has the correct xcpm-bootstrap entry for 10.12.6???

Well that's kinda odd Lol on my end it seems to work fine for me. I'll give this one a try though and see if i experience anything different.
