macOS Sierra seems to run quite well on these components, with Clover botloader, and also with Cameleon. All seems to work well except USB Type C, and graphics, which is a GTX 1080, since no support from Apple Pascal does not work. I opened this topic, in the hopes that those, with same hardware as mine or like to give their opinion about this build here, about a potential fuctionalitate and rectifications.

First of all I,m not  so familiar with hackintosh, so I made this with some help from nmano, he patched my dsdt file.

And the rest of files and kext, from some research on internet.

My problem is that I do not know how to patch or edit DSDT, SSDT, for better functioning.

But I am quite sure that this build could work perfectly, if I had more knowledge.
I easily installed Apple OS.
Without any patch in config plist, you really need fakecpuid.
 
Graphics card will not work because there is no support for pascal
Sleep does not function properly, do not know how to make it work.
USB all works but are not recognized correctly. I saw on the forums that can make it work correctly, but I do not know.

This Guide Its just a Quick Guide for Users with the same Hardware ( U can use all files completely just replace EFI)

 

 

First of all let's not forget to thank all those who are involved in these projects, which give us the chance to run macOS on PC. Thank you once again for everything!

 

 

 

1) BIOS configuration ---- a--Load Optimized Defaults

b---overclock your pc to XMP profil 1 4,2

After you install later you can revert back


2.) Create Bootable USB --- Download the latest version of MacOS Sierra by performing the following actions:

a) Delete any version of the MacOS Sierra installer from your "Applications" folder if older versions of the installer exist.
B) Go to the App-Store, and download Sierra.


--- Prepare an USB thumb drive with Disk Utility with the following options:

a) GUID Partition Table
B) Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
c) Use the name “USB”


---Type in a Terminal the following command:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --no interaction

USB mean your tumb drive name

This will take some time

4.) Download and install the latest Clover distribution on your USB-DISK by verifying the proper Install-location (USB-DISK) and customizing (dont press "Install" but "Customize" instead) the following options:

a) Install for UEFI booting only
B) Install Clover in the ESP
c) Select the Bootloader Themes you want to install
e) Only select EmuVariableUefi-64.efi in the Drivers64UEFI menu!


During installation, Clover will automatically create and mount the EFI partion drive of the USB installation.



3.) When Clover Installation completes, download extract and copy the "USBInstallEFI.zip" file and replace entire EFI Folder of your USB installation drive.



4.) Boot the USB Installation drive . Install MacOS Sierra onto your system.


5.) Now perform the Post-Installation procedure described below. After finish boot again with USB and select your new instaled hard drive with sierra and finish the process.

d) Enable Install RC scripts on target volume
e) Only select EmuVariableUefi-64.efi in the Drivers64UEFI menu!

During installation, Clover will automatically create and mount the EFI drive of your Sierra system.


6.)Download my ( PostinstallEFI.zip) extract and replace entyre EFI folder from your Sierra hard drive.



7.) Download and run Piker-Alpha's freqVectorsEdit.sh to add missing FrequencyVectors. Clone download chose zip

after download, drag the freqVectorsEdit.sh-master folder to your desktop, run terminal and type sudo (space) after this drag

Use the HEX Converter in Clover Configurator and enter the values in DSDT patches (Acpi).

 

My Kext also works, assumes two things ahead:

1. Name of the USB3 device = XHCI (standard in the DSDT)
2. SMBIOS is MacPro6.1
