You'll need to update OpenCore to 0.7.5 and make sure you've got the latest AMD patches. Update any kexts while you're at it and the update should work without issues.

If you're struggling to update the EFI, zip your current working version and upload it here and I'll update it for you.

Biggest issue was missing the updated kernel patches.

Your kernel patches are a mix of old and new. You also didn't have ProvideCurrentCpuInfo enabled. Replace your config with this one.

Hi Shanee, I somehow managed it and upgrated to Monterey. Yes I know they are mixed but I also had tried only the latest 16 fix but it didn't worked I just used your previous sent EFI for kingraptor88 and changed parameters for my system and it worked perfect :D Thank you, You are a life saver :D

You need to include OpenCanopy.efi in the Drivers folder and in UEFI -> Drivers. You'll also need to make sure you've got the Resources folder upto date from the latest Release.
Then set the following,
  • Misc -> Boot -> PickerMode = External
  • Misc -> Boot -> PickerVariant = Auto

Remove SMCAMDProcessor.kext and AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext from your config.

"Remove SMCAMDProcessor.kext and AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext from your config."

So aren't these recommended anymore for Monterey?
 
AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext works just fine for me on Monterey
 
Yeah, I have 'm too with no issues. :)
