Hello cupecups,

where did you find the patches.plist for AMD FX?
I'm on Catalina 10.15.6 with OC 0.60, so I don't need soembody else EFI.

I only need the patches.plist for AMD FX and nothing else.
Or did you take the patches.plist for Catalina Beta 6?

Hello cupecups,

only 1 Question: Did you use VirtualSMC.kext oder FakeSMC.kext for your AMD FX?

All the time I used FakeSMC, but I don't know if I'm forced to use VirtualSMC.kext for BigSur.

In the mean time a downloaded BigSur Beta 1 and the Download for BigSur Beta 4 is almost finish.
