Yes, the BIOS updates will improve system's overall performance and stability. Recently there were several discoveries about major flaws in Intel (and AMD) CPUs which goes back about 2 decades and the just keep surfacing and the BIOS updates will address those flaws as well. you can google Prime, Meltdown, Specter flaws to read more about them. And yes you can install macOS High Sierra on your hack but you need to update Clover and Kexts to their latest versions and then you can (almost) easily install macOS 10.13.x. Update Clover, Kexts (AppleALC, Lilu and other essential kexts with the FakeSMC.kext to 3.5.0) in order to have the best experience with installing macOS 10.13.x. Let me know if you needed any more assistance on the installation of the macOS High Sierra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you overclocked this build at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 awesome thank you. i will read into it. Have you overclocked this build at all? It is already set to relax OC but I didn't go all the way in, a while back I over clocked it to 4.6 GHz but it wasn't stable much and since I barely shut down the poor thing I decided to leave it on the relax OC just too boost the performance for day to day tasks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Sorry, me again, having trouble. So, I installed a security update from the app store for Sierra today and after that the computer does no longer restart. I took a photo of the screen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gd221ws6kc6na04/Panic.jpg Any idea what the problem might be and how to fix it? Hi Update your lilu.kext to the latest version. It would be beneficial if you update other kexts as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Use either nvidiagraphicsfixup or the nvwebdriverlibfix. If you are using the latest version of the latest version of the nvidiagraphicsfixup you won’t be needing nvwebdriverlibvalfix anymore Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Are the files placed in the “other” folder? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 No, currently they are in the "10.12" folder. Should I put them (all of them?) in the "other" Folder If you updated the version of the clover it might help to place them inside the other folder. I migrated to macOS high sierra and since then I use the “other” folder Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 @5T33Z0 I performed a direct update from macOS Sierra 10.12.6 to High Sierra 10.13.3 (Full Installer) and all went smoothly the only thing that needs to be added to the Clover's EFI folder is the APFS.efi which can be found under \Usr\standalone\i386 on the macOS High Sierra installer. This file is necessary if you use a SSD because in the update process macOS will update the HFS format to APFS. You need to add this file to Clover's EFI folder under: \EFI\Clover\Drivers64UEFI otherwise Clover's won't be able to detect and boot from the new APFS formatted SSD. If you are using a nVidia GPU you'll need to update the web drivers according to your GPU's model and the macOS's build number. Important note: If you ever decide to update your existing macOS Sierra to High Sierra make sure you have a backup of your data and the EFI folder just incase something goes wrong. I know I was suppose to create a guide but unfortunately being busy at work prevents me from doing so. If I find the time I will create the guide and I will post it in a new Topic. That being said I have to say nVidia web drivers are not working as smoothly as Sierra (at least with my GPU) so that's another reason for the delay on the Guide because the performance of the system specially in the GUI and the metal performance is a bit laggy. If you need more explanations just let me know. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 You're welcome I don't know about the Audio plugins and the reboot issue you just mentioned but personally I'm waiting for the next update from apple and the nvidia to see if they fix the lags or not, otherwise I might go back to Sierra for the time being. The lags are making my rig almost useless unless I use the previous nVidia Web Drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 That sounds like a good idea. Sierra was pretty stable on macs and hacks but I’m experiencing weird behavior and decrease in performance on several iMacs as well so it might be better if we stay on sierra for nowSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
