AudioGod,

Can Beta 8 be installed with the same procedure as Beta 7?
Yes but if you update to the latest commit of 0.7.4 and also the latest commit of RestrictEvents then you can update without any messing around and with the SBM set to default permanently. If you don’t feel comfy updating the EFI on your own then let me know and I will send you my 0.7.4 Beta EFI that I’m building up for the next release. 👍

Honestly, I just lack the time to patiently update my EFI for the next week or so. I have done it before and made my own before.

Your EFI is so refined. If you are willing to send me a Beta 0.7.4 I would very appropriate it.

You are the man!

Between being under the weather this week and the irrational paranoia that is going around about the new Performance modes impact and implementation I am quite overwhelmed.

Thank you very much.

@johnlietzke 2 little tips,
  1. Disable WhateverGreen, Your 6800XT will work Much better with it disabled. I have it disabled myself.
  2. Go into the Config.plist and under UEFI set ConnectDrivers to No for a super quick start up between cold boot upto Open Canopy. (Note - If you want to use a USB Installer to do a clean install ever then make sure ConnectDrivers is set to Yes again or it won't see the USB Drive)

Thank you for the tips.

I have already updated the Platform Info, CPU Core Count, Disable Whatevergreen and Disabled ConnectDriver. Currently, the install is Preparing.

I have noticed a weird nuance, sometime it asks me to log in twice after a restart or cold start.

Thanks again.

I’ve never seen that one before. Try resetting your NVRam if not then it must be something in your instal causing it.

It does it about half the time. I always Reset NVRAM after updating the EFI.

It’s something within MacOS causing it then, maybe something loading at startup or the install itself.
Unless my fat fingers hit the wrong keys when I’m putting in my password it logs in first time every time with no exception.

The problem is trivial that it is not worth the time to resolve it.

Have a good day and thanks again.

What's the best practice for disabling WhateverGreen using the current EFI? I'm on a reference 6900XT and would like to try it. Just remove the kext and take out the entry from config.plist? Do you need to remove agdpmod=ignore from bootargs as well?

Go into the Config.plist and under Kernel -> Add find WEG and set it to disabled then remove agdpmod=ignore from the boot arguments. Thats it

Thanks AudioGod,

I could not find agdpmod=ignore in your beta EFI. Did you already remove it? boot-args line is blank so assume as it is your personal EFI and you also have an RX6000 that this was already take care of.

Thanks, your tips have mad a system a little faster.

Whoops, I forgot to add it back before I sent over the EFI…lol

Hey AudioGod,

I am really lost trying to spoof the GPU, not sure if you can help me or not. I did change the boot argument from "agdpmod=ignore" to "agdpmod=pikera" just in case. I have tried using "Hackintool" "IORegistryExplorer" and "OpenCore Configurator" but honestly speaking, I have no idea of what I am doing. This is in a higher level for my understanding.
Other than the GPU acceleration everything else works as described in your post. Thank you for that.

Also I downloaded "AirportItlwm.kext" "itlwm.kext" "IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext" and "IntelBluetoothinjector.kext" but do not know how to add them to the config.plist using Xcode.

That is why disabling Whatevergreen worked perfectly. Your EFI is so refined and versatile.

@AudioGod How compatible do you think your EFI would be for a ASUS Rog Strix x470-i mobo? What are the most important changes that would have to be made?

My specs are below (https://forum.amd-osx.com/index.php...trix-x470i-sapphire-nitro-5700xt-oc-7-1.1617/):
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
  • Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix x470i
  • Ram: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB
  • Graphics: VGA Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT NITRO+
  • Case: NZXT H200
  • M.2: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB & Samsung SSD 970 EVO250GB
  • Old HDD 1TB fusion
  • PSU: Corsair PSU RM650
  • Wifi-bluetooth: Bcm94352z. (I was meant to order the Bcm94360NG but made a mistake on Ali express with selecting the correct type. Kext are very easy to help activate the card)
  • Installed: Big Sur 11.4 | Windows 10 Pro
  • Bootloader: Opencore 0.7.1

It’s totally compatible, The only real difference is the USBMap.kext so either disable it or replace it with your own if you have one.
Other then that your good. 👍

I have been getting more and more AMD app crashes on launch of late. It seems to be related to checking the CPU specs.

I used to run a terminal command to resolve the matter that I pilfered from an Adobe fix site. It was just a short entry and then drag the app. Unfortunately, when you when you let a visiting 3 year old play with the open browser suddenly the save bookmarks disappear.

If anyone knows a how to resolve this I will be eternally greatful.

OpenCore 0.7.4 EFI Update (Monterey 12.0 Beta 8 Ready), 4th October 2021

The EFI has now been updated to the my latest version.
Changes made include,
  • Lilu 1.5.6,
  • AppleALC 1.6.5,
  • WhateverGreen 1.5.4,
  • VirtualSMC 1.2.7,
  • RestrictEvents 1.0.5,
  • LucyRTL8125Ethernet 1.1.0
  • SMCAMDProcessor 0.7
  • New Universal AMD Patches Monterey 12.0 Compatible,
  • SIP Can now be toggled within OpenCanopy,
  • OpenCanopy Icons Updated,
  • OpenCore Updated to Revision 0.7.4 (Monterey Beta 8 Ready),
  • 2.5Ghz Ethernet Auto Negotiation Fixed,
  • Memory Mapping is now Being done via RestrictEvents,
  • About This Mac now displays the correct AMD Processor info done via RestrictEvents,
  • Plus other minor tweaks and changes to the config.
Note 1 - If your not using a RX 6800 or any other Navi/BigNavi GPU then remove agdpmod=ignore from the boot arguments.

Note 2 - If you are using a 6 or Less Core Ryzen then go into the Config,plist and under PlatformInfo->Generic Change the ProcessorType from 0 to 1537, This will list your CPU info correctly inside About This Mac.

Note 3 - The SmallTreeIntel82576.kext is now fully working as of Monterey 12.0 Beta 8

Note 4 - BIOS SETTING CHANGE - Since Bios Revision 4010 Power On By PCIe can break shut down on some peoples builds so ensure the following setting is now set as disabled.
  • Advanced -> APM Configuration -> Power On By PCIe -> Disabled

For OpenCore Using PlistEdit Pro add your details by modifying the following
1627932237694.png




IMPORTANT PATCH INFO TO SET THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.

Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA <CoreCount> 0000 0000/BA <CoreCount> 0000 0090* substituting <CoreCount> with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.

Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12

See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.

CoreCountHexadecimal
6 Core06
8 Core08
12 Core0C
16 Core10
32 Core20
So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090
Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090

EXAMPLE
Screenshot 2021-08-02 at 19.51.06.png

Power Gadget App
The AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext has been updated and has gone from good to Amazing so make sure you download the latest version of the Power Gadget App to make the most of it.
AMD.Power.Gadget.app.zip

Finally and as always, MAKE SURE YOU RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI.
