Guide:

1. Read, learn, and understand the Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide and this Reddit post.

   • Setup follow Comet Lake Configs
   • SMBIOS used MacPro7,1

2. ACPI Table:

   SSDT	Method	Description
   SSDT-AWAC.aml	Prebuilt	Required
   SSDT-EC-USBX.aml	Manual	Required
   SSDT-GPRW.aml	Prebuilt	Required for Sleep/Wake
   SSDT-HPET.aml	SSDTTime	Optional
   SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml	Prebuilt	Required
   SSDT-SBUS.aml	Manual	Optional
   SSDT-NVME-DISABLE	Manual	Optional
   SSDT-RHUB.aml	Manual	Optional

   Note: I recommend to manually dumping your DSDT and compile your own SSDT using SSDTTIme (Windows/Linux).

Fixing & Tweaking:

• Fix Sleep/Wake:

  • SSDT-GPRW.aml

  • ACPI > Patch change Method (GPRW,2,N) to XPRW, pair with SSDT-GPRW.aml

  • ACPI > Patch Change ADBG to XDBG:

    TableSignature	OemTableId	TableLength	Find	Replace	Count	Enabled	Comment
    53534454	475357417070	0	4303141941444247	4303141958444247	1	true	Change ADBG to XDBG

• Fix Intel Alder Lake CPU Frequency by using CPUFriendDataProvider.kext provided here

• Disable SMBIOS injection into "non-Apple" OSes (ex. Windows) if you boot through OpenCore boot picker, but it breaks Bootcamp compatibility.

  • Kernel > Quirks > CustomSMBIOSGuid > True (default False)

  • PlatformInfo > UpdateSMBIOSMode > Custom (default Create)

• Disable Windows or other operating system from OpenCore Boot Menu list.

  • Misc > Security > ScanPolicy > 2687747 (default 0)

• Disable Radeon Zero RPM (Optional):

  • This method for AMD Radeon RX 6800

    DeviceProperties > Add > PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

• I noticed high disk usage, beachballing cursor after system idle because macOS keep trying to read NTFS (Windows) drive where it's my Samsung 980 Pro NVMe. So I decide to disable that drive by compiling SSDT-NVME-DISABLE.aml or you can try to unmounted the Windows drive every boot to macOS.

BIOS:

Note: Load Optimized Default Settings first before making any BIOS settings. In my case I just need to change the option like shown below, as other needed options has enabled/disabled by default.

• Disabled:

  • Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) (Optional)

  • Secure Boot

  • Serial Port

  • APP Center Download & Install

  • LEDs in System Power On State (Optional)

• Enabled:

  • Hyper-Threading

  • Above 4G Decoding

  • Re-Size BAR Support

Benchmarks:
