Hello all,
I have installed macOS High Sierra as a dual boot (separate hard drives) on my system using the vanilla guide.
Here are my specs/other relevant info before I talk issues:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOTHERBOARD: MSI X99A Sli Plus
BIOS Version: E7885IMS.1D0
CPU: i7 5820K
GPU: Gigabyte Xtreme 1080ti
HDD: Samsung EVO 840 120GB (I have installed macOS to this drive, windows is on a 960 evo M.2)
RAM: 24GB DDR4 2666 MHZ (using 6/8 slots) (XMP Enabled in BIOS)
KEXTS:
AppleALC.kext
VirtualSMC.kext
IntelMausiEthernet.kext
VoodooPS2Controller.kext
Lilu.kext
WhateverGreen.kext
USBInjectAll.kext
XHCI-unsupported.kext
In my 'drivers64UEFI' folder:
ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi
HFSPlus-64.efi
AppleImageLoader-64.efi
OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi
EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
My boot args are:
-v
npci=0x2000 (seems to be vital to X99 hacks)
dart=0
debug=0x100
keepsyms=1
SMBIOS:
I used clover to select iMac14,2. I pasted the board serial back into Rt Variables.
I used uuidgen to make my SmUUID.
For more specifics, here is my config.plist (filebin link):

Also, here is my whole EFI folder (google drive link to .zip file):

I was also able to grab a console log before it froze this morning (filebin link):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I said that I used to vanilla guide which is true. I followed this gitbook guide,
https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/
Specifically, for config.plist per hardware I followed the Haswell section.
POST INSTALL:
After macOS install, I installed Clover (v4910) to my 840 EVO in the same manner
I used to install it to my flash drive. I mounted the EFI partition with the command
line and copied my EFI from my USB over to my 840 EVO. I then used this script
(https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update) to update my nvidia drivers.
PROBLEMS:
Sometimes I get a boot error 'couldnt allocate runtime area'. I think this is common
with X99 hacks, so I just CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot. Sometimes I have to do this
more than once, but it boots usually after one reset.
The major problem is that when I log in, everything seems fine for ~30s to a minute,
sometimes longer. Then I get a hard freeze of the whole OS. Cursor is frozen,
clock stops, totally locked up. I really have no idea why this is. I have done a fair
bit of trouble shooting to no avail. I provided all the relevant info/files above that
I could think of. Hoping someone in the community has ran into this before or can help
me out. I do know X99 is rather tricky, specifically with MSI boards.
Thanks a lot for any help.
