CPU: Ryzen 3950x
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5500XT 4GB
RAM: 32GB of Corsair LPX 3200MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Pro X570 Wifi (have to use bios F11 or F12 to enter recovery. After installation, F21 works fine.)
Audio: ALC1220VB (on Motherboard)
Ethernet: 1G (on Motherboard)
WiFi/BT Card: Broadcom BCM94360CS2 (remove the Intel AX200 and install at the same mini PCIE port)
SMBIOS: iMacPro1,1

Everything works except 1. sleep & 2. mic.
Pretty impressive benchmark in Cinebench r20 without overclocking.

For this build I used the OpenCore Desktop Guide.

OpenCore: 0.5.9
Kexts: Lilu.kext, WhateverGreen.kext, VirtualSMC.kext, SmallTreeIntel82576.kext, AppleALC.kext
Kexts Optional: SMCAMDProcessor.kext, AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext (I find they are not 100% stable and may cause panic sometime, so I don't use them for long term use)
ACPIs: SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml, SSDT-NVME.aml, SSDT-XHC.aml
Drivers: HfsPlus.efi, OpenCanopy.efi, OpenRuntime.efi
Please use your own SMBIOS generated serial in the config.plist.

can you share your refi please?
 
Hi, your setup is nearly the same as mine. Any luck getting sleep to work?

Haven't tried to resolve the sleep issue because I never sleep;).
Basically I turn the sleep option off by running this command in terminal.
Bash:
sudo pmset -a sleep 0;
Please let me know if you find a way.
 
You get a like from me for the wallpaper. 😻

Forget the EFI can you send the wallpaper PLZ
