Which smbios you use? Have a look there -> https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...system-definition.183113/page-38#post-1506262

Perhaps it's worth to try it.
Thanks for the help man !! Unfortunately nothing works,

I've tried switching from 14,2 to 13,3 and nothing, then switched to 15,1 instead and the exact same thing ,no matter what I do it always goes to the white screens.

I used Clover Configurator to change the SMBIOS.

For both 13,3 and 15,1 the Sierra system booted just fine and seemed to work fine, for some reason I seem to feel the system snappier with 15,1 than when I was on 14,2 but it might be just me.

I'll wait for 10.13.1 then retry with a new downloaded installer.
 
Be very careful if you need Nvidia Web Drivers on iMac 17.

Is your issue related to Nvidia Web Driver?

This was a challenging update, but I finally got it to work. High Sierra is running on my ASUS Z87-Expert motherboard, Asus PB298 Display, Kingston Solid State Drive using the APFS file system. This was a direct update. I've purchased a Samsung M2 500 GB internal SSD with an PCI-Express3.0 adapter card as my motherboard does not have M2 slots. I hope this works as a temporary solution till I can upgrade my motherboard. It be cool to hear others who are running an M2 drive on High Sierra.
UPDATE: I received my PCIe 3.0X4 Host Adapter for M.2 NGFF PCIe SSD and a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500 GB SSD. (see new image of BlackMagic Disc Speed Test) I'm getting 1877.7 Write / 2468.7 Read speeds, just wish I could figure out how to boot from it. It doesn't appear on Clover as a boot device.

Everything is working perfect on my ASUS Z170X - UD3H...thank you tonymacx86...
 
So I need a big help! First let me start with the specs of my machine:

Intel Core i7-6700K
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3
Gigabyte GTX 950 Windforce 4GB

Im currently running 10.12.3 Sierra. The first installation, which was in El Capitan, didn't came from me as a friend had helped me with this. From El Capitan I managed to do all the updates through 10.12.3 without any problems. But since the update 10.12.4 I can't get it to work. And ofcourse I can't update to High Sierra.

On my Clover Configurator I see that I have:

Current Booted Version: 3974
Remote Available Version: 4243

I tried a lot of times to update it, and while it is showing that is installing (even with the manual install of the .pkg) its not updating.

Please excuse any noob questions that I might make, but I really need someone to tell me the complete guide to install the new clover and all the steps needed to finally update my machine to 10.12.6 or High Sierra if this is possible.

For any details you need for me, kindly tell me and I will reply.

Thank you very much in advance
