dugdiamond Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 By default High Sierra formats an SSD/NVME drive to APFS, even if you chose HFS+J. By doing this I was having a mind-melt trying to install clover post-install. Then I found a Terminal command that does NOT convert to APFS, during USB installation, on tonymac. YAY! I am now up and running on High Sierra (HS), in HFS with clover installed perfectly in the same drive. Nvidia web driver installed fine. Just the audio to fix now. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugdiamond Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 i've been up all night trying to get my ethernet speeds in OSX the same as they are in windows. it's terrible! also, still no joy with onboard realtek audio. various audio fixes have caused crashes.... which have meant re-installing from scratch.

I am very happy with 10.13.5. I did not do much with 10.13.6 Beta though. Just basic system functionality checks.. However, in my opinion improvements since 10.13.4 or minor, at least for my system.. I don't know about what improved with respect to Vega.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux 25000 to 27500, Geekbench from 180000 to 215000. This is with the Vega speed up kext. There don't seem to be any downsides to the upgrade so far, but it's only been a couple of days in daily use. I don't know about fan speeds because it's watercooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asus prime x299 Deluxe, Intel core i7 7820x Are we talking about onboard audio or HDAU? Onboard audio: 1.) If you did not adopt and use my SSDT, don't forget to add the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI replacement to your config.plist! 2.) Inject Audio ID "7" 3.) Use AppleALC.kext 1.2.7 and Lilu.kext 1.2.3 You have the same mainboard as I do. It MUST work like this..

KGP-iMacPro Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well forget about my SSDT for now. Just do the steps I provided above. This will at least enable your onboard audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also downloaded your SSDT should i put them in Clover/ACPI/Patch? Your help is greatly appreciated. Edit-Update: So I went ahead and adopt your SSDT and now i have audio but i do not have HD AUDIO.

I followed your Guide where you said that AMD Graphics cards are natively supported, so I went ahead and get a Radeon RX 580 8gb but now the ssdt is messed up. i had to move the OS X wifi card to the last slot since it can't fit in pci slot 3 with the the graphics card. and now with PC00 to PCI0 i loose graphics acceleration, but get it back whrni disable the patch. can you please make me a ssdt for Asus prime x299 deluxe and Radeon Rx 580 8gb? your help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

I guess to go for a RX580 was not the best choice anyway (no iGPU implementation with SMBIOS iMacPro1,1). I you are still able, better change to a Vega 64 at least.
