MSI Godlike Gaming X99a - I7 6800K - GTX970

Hello,

 

I have installed High Sierra on 1 of my pc's and it is working like a charm (x299 - 7820x).

Now i would also like to install it on another pc with the following specs:

 

 

MOBO: MSI Godlike Gaming X99a

CPU: I7 - 6800K

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 (GT 720 2GB for installation)

RAM: 32GB 2800mhz

SSD: Samsung 960 EVO

 

I searched online but i can't find that much info. Since it is Broadwell-E i saw some topics explaining that this is not supported by Mac OS, but other Broadwell-E cpu's seem to have installed mac OS.

 

Is this poosible? What settings do i need to use? MBIOS version etc.?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, i installed a blank High Sierra installer USB stick, installed Clover (4369) and updated the EFI/CLOVER folder with your CLOVER.zip, but i get the same ("Slide xxx on xxx cannot be used") list as i got once at my other build.

 

I reflashed the BIOS to the latest version, disabled VT-D and CFG Lock but no difference.

 

After the list of all the slides i get "0/256 slides are able to ..., and after that i get a "Does printf work??

 

I am still using the GTX 970. Can this be the GPU that causes the problem? Do i have to switch to the GT 720 or is this non gpu related?

 

Thanks again for the help

Thanks, i uploaded your EFI folder to the usb stick, but when i boot from the usb stick i see the clover menu but there is no disk at all (even the usb stick isn't showing).

 

Am i doing something wrong? And i think the terminal.txt and asrock_efi_settings_os_x.BIN is for after the installation?

 

Thanks
