The Builder’s intention was to build a mini ITX motherboard based system, especially because he is just going to put a video card. He plans to upgrade later to an Asus Strix AMD Rx 64. Then, a mini ITX does not occupy him much on the desktop and looks fantastic. Enough for the programming and design tasks he performs.

• When installer boots, enter Disk Utility and format “Erase” your SSD, named “Mojave OSX”. Choose the recommended filesystem option (Journaled) and Guid Partition.
• Exit Disk Utility
• Install Mojave

Note: if computer restarts during this time, do not worry. Installation will take a number of restarts before completion (3 to be exact). From here on out, On each restart you press F12 and select the USB and Clover options select your main SSD, you see the options in clover with the name of SSD Mojave OSX (Or the name you have chosen).

Install Clover in SSD

Now we will install clover on the SSD to not have to always start the USB.

Run the Clover installer – You can get it from here

Continue, continue, continue

In type of installation click on “Personalize” and just select the following.

UEFI Starter Installation

• Install clover on the ESP partition
• The themes if you want you can leave it
• In UEFI Drivers, just select the 4 main drivers: ApfsDriverLoader-64, ApioMemoryFix-64, EmuVariableUefi-64, HFSPlus

It’s the same, because then we’ll replace the EFI folder.
