El Capitan on GA-Z170X-Gaming 5

Cyberdevs · June 13, 2016

Hello!

Thank you very much cyberdevs for your thread. It was very helpful for me (we have the same motherboard)

My custom Mac is almost finished. I only need to fix a problem with the "shut down"... The Custom Mac reboot instead turn off. Any idea? And with the "Sleep Mode" the fans of the PC are working... I think is not good that.

This is my first Hackintosh. I have tried to find some info in Google about it and nothing.

The machine:

be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 750W Modular

Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 ????

Procesador: i7 6700K 300 - 330

EVGA GTX 960 SC ACX 2.0 4 GB 04G-P4-2983-KR

Crucial BLS2C16G4D240FSC 16 x 2

Samsung 850 PRO 1 Tb(OS X)

Samsung 840 EVO 512 Gb (Windows 10)

HDD: WD Red 6Tb

HDD: WD Blue 6Tb (Backup)

Thank you again.

Greetings from Spain.

You're welcome

I'm glad you found this topic useful and welcome to my topic

Nice config by the way!

Use clover configurator to edit your config.plist:

In order to fix the shutdown problem you need to set the following flag in the config.plist

Under ACPI section, Find Fixes and check FixShutdown.

Good luck

Anytime

Best of luck

Thank you again. Another problem that you solved Now the Shut Down works perfect.

My Hackintosh is almost perfect: Only left Sleep mode. Do you have any idea why it doesn't work?

Have a nice day!

Sleep must work with your Graphic Adapter, there are some known issues with AMD 6xxx and newer versions but as I see you have an EVGA GTX adapter. Try adding the "SlpSmiAtWake" flag and see if it solves your problem.

You can find it under ACPI section on your config.plist.

Let me know how it works out.

r0b3r · June 18, 2016

Great!! Now works perfect! Thank you again.

My Mackintosh is at 99% (waiting for the module of Wifi+Blutooth 4.0 for Airdrop)!!!!!!!

Your thread was really helpful.

Have a good weekend!

Hi there!

after a slow tuning I have to say that my rig is shutting down properly almost all the times (90% yes, 10% no).

But I still have some video constrains and I cannot use a multi display configuration:

no matter what, if CSM is enable in BIOS, and I attach two monitors at Nvidia card I'll got black screen. I can still attach two of them if I already booted with my main display (warm attach).
even if, since El Cap 11.4, HD530 is correctly configured (and I have hw graphic acceleration) when I enable it in BIOS but leave Nvidia as primary display card, I got black screen. Hence I cannot a multi display configuration even using my HD530 put a monitor attached to it.

do you have some experiences to share in this regard?

thanks in advance for your help!

Cyberdevs · June 21, 2016

Hi,

Welcome back

what is the model of your nVidia graphic adapter?

see this post it might help you out.

I read the post, but it's not the problem of black screen at boot, for that I have a proper patch in clover. The problem is in multi monitor configurations, both attached to Nvidia card, or one to Nvidia and the other one at HD530.

my card is this one: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5619#kf

Cyberdevs · June 22, 2016

Well since I use a dual display rig with AMD graphic adapter and I don't use the Intel HD Graphics and with some tweaks in config.plist I got them both working even when I shutdown the computer (no warm attach).

But the tricky part is I have to connect one of my displays to HDMI and the other one is connected to DVI, I tried some other arrangements and it didn't work at all!

Send me a copy of your config.plist so I can take a look

I guess you need to add the following flags under Graphics:

<key>Graphics</key>

<dict>

<key>DualLink</key>

<key>Inject</key>

<dict>

<key>Intel</key>

<true/>

<key>NVidia</key>

</dict>

<key>NvidiaGeneric</key>

<true/>

<key>NvidiaSingle</key>

<true/>

<key>VideoPorts</key>

<key>ig-platform-id</key>

</dict>

<false/>

<key>VideoPorts</key>

<integer>4</integer>

<key>ig-platform-id</key>

<string>0x19120000</string>

</dict>

just added those lines but basically it doesn't improve the situation that much:

if I put in BIOS:
- - Primary display: GFX1 (my Nvidia card)
- - Internal GPU: Enabled

I got black screen after boot. Even with only 1 monitor.

if I put in BIOS:
- - Primary display: GFX1 (my Nvidia card)
- - Internal GPU: Auto

I got to the login screen properly and I can use a second monitor attached to Nvidia card. There is no signal of life from Intel HD530, neither in System report nor if I attach a monitor to it.

With two monitors though the system show a more prominent tendency not to shutdown properly and to restart instead.

I guess you need to add the following flags under Graphics:

Do you know whether our motherboard is one of those that need 64bit driver for support of NVRAM variables needed by MacOSX?

do you have this driver installed?

Cyberdevs · June 27, 2016

I don't have this driver installed.

These are the drivers that are installed in my system in drivers64UEFI:

FSInject-64.efi

HFSPlus.efi

OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi

OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi

HFSPlus.efi

OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi

If you go here, you will see that this particular motherboard does not pass the Nvram test. At least not mine! Therefore I've installed the Clover NVRAM emulation driver, and things has been stabilised for me.

Hello again!!

Finally got my Wifi+BT card (is from a iMac) and it works perfect except AirDrop.

Do you have any idea how can I get working?

Thank you again.

Hi,

In my experience when AirDrop doesn't work when you try to send files to another computer it's either because of an old WiFi card which you need to click on AirDrop and select look for older Macs or you need to open AirDrop on both computers which you are trying to share files with and you need to make sure file sharing is available for everyone Or just add the Contact card in the address book in case you only want to gave permission to specific people you want to share files with.

Someone testing TH3 working after installing this USB3.1 firmware update from gigabyte(USB3.1 FW Update Tool)?

Looks like after update TH3 is activating on board. (In windows)

Cyberdevs · July 18, 2016

Hey guys,

I just updated to Mac OS X 10.11.6 from app store and everything went smoothly.

Sadly I couldnt make it work. But I think is something related with my ID (my Mac mini Airdrop doesn't work)

Have a good day!

Update to 10.12 Sierra. Everything went good.

Hi,

I am attempting to get my GA-Z170MX-Gaming5 up and running.

In addition to the above MB (BIOS version F5e) - it has: Core i7-6700K, EVGA GTX 950, Samsung 850 EVO 500GB and 2 Seagate ST3000DM001 drives

I am assuming I can't simply copy the contents of your clover config over mine - that I will need to edit mine based on yours - via Clover Configurator?

I *do* have the NVidia Web Drivers installed, and I have voodoohda installed for sound - not that I have it configured to use it yet though.

*Gah* I can't figure out how to reply to two different posts w/out my 2nd reply attempt combining both replies!

I am attempting to reply to http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309352-el-capitan-on-ga-z170x-gaming-5/?p=2218441

Each time I quoted it - I then attempted to reply and it merged the reply with my previous post.

Anyhow - my reply/question for the above post:

Savage001 originally said: For me to fix the black screen with web drivers i had to edit a kext. Copy it from system -> library -> extensions -> AppleGraphicsControl.kext to the desktop then right click it then show package contents, open contents folder then plugins folder then right click AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext to show contents, open contents folder then right click on info.plist and open with "other" and choose textedit, scroll down to<key>ConfigMap</key> and find your "mac" key and change the <string> to none like this

Before
<key>Mac-42FD25EABCABB274</key>

<string>Config2</string>

After

<key>Mac-42FD25EABCABB274</key>

<string>none</string>

Reinstall kext with Kext Utility then reboot with nvda_drv=1

Give that a try

pitysoft and cyberdevs like this

Like This

(sorry for butchering the quoting mechanism)

And my response/query:

Hi,

when I have attempted to switch to the NVidia Web Drivers - my monitor simply goes to sleep - so I am *assuming* that this is the "Black Screen" being referred to here and in later posts after your reply.

I followed your instructions and unfortunately, in my 'ConfigMap' section, I have a TON of entries which are similar to the ones you suggest modifying, and a bunch that already have a value of "none'

I am 99% sure I opened up the correct file with the editor, but I'm pretty puzzled why I have so many entries. Could it be the result of my many unsuccessful attempts to get things configured?

I was hoping there would be ONE entry 'Mac-...' which I'd then modify - not a bunch...

Suggestions?

Hi an welcome,

In order to get the nVidia drivers to work you need to set the following flag in you config.plist

nvda_drv=1 true and you need to follow what savage001 said and change the config2 to config none as instructed.
