open the default config.plist that Clover installs to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
make sure you uncheck all the DSDT Fixes in both pages of the ACPI tab of CC.

Navigate to the SMBIOS tab.

Click the button on the right of the screen with the up and down arrows to bring up the SMBIOS list, you'll want to pick one of the following based on your hardware (NOTE: picking an SMBIOS is more important than just choosing something that sounds cool. It affects things like USB routing, graphics profiles, CPU power management, etc and you should pick the SMBIOS with hardware closest to yours). A quick reference for what to choose is as follows:

	Coffee Lake - iMac18,2/18,3 //Use iMac18,1 if you're using the iGPU only
	Kabylake - iMac18,2/18,3
	Skylake - iMac17,1
	Broadwell - iMac16,1 (rarely used, if ever)
	Haswell Refresh (Devil's Canyon) - iMac15,1
	Haswell With NVIDIA GPU - iMac14,2
	Haswell With iGPU - iMac14,1
	Ivy Bridge - iMac13,2
	Sandy Bridge - iMac12,2 (although recently I've had better success with iMac13,2)
	X79/X99/X299 - MacPro6,1

click the Generate New button under the Serial field repeatedly

Some fields will pre-fill, but not all.
run [uuidgen] in terminal, paste output into the SmUUID field.

Then copy your Board Serial, and navigate to the RtVariables tab, and at the very top - paste it into the MLB field.
ROM field to UseMacAddr0
BooterConfig field to 0x28
CsrActiveConfig field to 0x3E7 //disable SIP in case we need to load any unsigned kexts

graphics tab: inject nvidia
boot tab: verbose
