@remix0120,

You should never use the port Limit patch as a long term solution as MacOS is port limited and using more than the supported number of USB ports long term can result in the port array buffers being over run which will inevitably lead to MacOS issues. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't fully understand MacOS and its USB stack.

Also the Port Limit patch does nothing in the way of correctly configuring the USB ports.

You should only use the Port Limit Patch to identify the ports you actually want to use, then create a USB configuration that defines the port types (USB2, USB3, Type-C, Internal ... etc) of the ports you want to use.

The Bluetooth device must have the Internal type (0xFF) in order for correct macOS operation other wise features such as handoff, continuity .. etc will not work.

Use either Hackintool or one of the SSDT methods to configure the ports and then disable the port limit patch.

Cheers
Jay

Hacintool has made it easy. See my Z87 procedure in Post 965:

tonymacx86's Haswell mATX: GA-Z87MX-D3H - i7-4770K - HD 4600

Can anyone with this build running on the built-in graphics (HD4600) share what their multiple-monitor experience is? How many monitors connected, max res, what connectors, using what recent systems? Because of Nvidia situation, considering removing my card entirely and running off the built-in.

Yes, I assumed you choose USBInjectall and the Port Limit removal options when you used MultiBeast setup. If not run the latest MultiBeast, just choosing:

Drivers > USB > Remove XHCI USB Port Limit​

Drivers > USB >USBInjectAll​

Build​

Install​

Reboot

Thank you, I followed your guide, i think it works good now!

Do I need to remove the following?
(EHC1 to EH01, EHC2 to EH02, PEGP to GFX0 and SAT0 to SATA)
or just leave them in configt.plist?

I think I did everything more or less right. Now, when I insert a USB 3 stick to the USB 3 port it gives me a message which says the stick needs electricity and I should put in in to a USB slot. USB 2 is functioning. In hackintool I can see the stick beeing in to the USB 3 port. Any idea?
