OpenCore 0.9.6 EFI Update , 06 Nov 2023.
The EFI has now been updated to the my latest version.
Changes made include,
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.
For OpenCore Using PlistEdit Pro add your details by modifying the following
IMPORTANT PATCH INFO TO SET THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Patches are now universal across 15h, 16h, 17h, and 19h by utilizing the OpenCore kernel Quirk ProvideCurrentCpuInfo. OpenCore 0.7.1 or newer is required.
Make sure to enable this quirk or the system won't boot.
Note for Zen 4: Zen 4 (Ryzen 7000) requires patching for IOPCIFamily.kext.
This patch is enabled by default. Please ensure that you've added it to your current config for Zen 4 stability. This patch also allows MSI A520, B550, and X570 boards to boot macOS Monterey and newer.
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the four algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.
From the table above substitue < Core Count > with the hexadecimal value matching your physical core count. Do not use your CPU's thread count. See the table below for the values matching your CPU core count.
So for example, a user with a 6-core processor should use these Replace values: B8 06 0000 0000 / BA 06 0000 0000 / BA 06 0000 0090 / BA 06 0000 00

Finally and as always, MAKE SURE YOU RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI.
"Remembering that to work with the SONOMA version, you must remove the NVMeFix kexts"
NOTE: NVMeFix supports up to macOS Sonoma (14), but some features might not be available on newer versions as of now, like the timeout panic fix.
