Yes you should be able to install macOS High Sierra with the AMD OpenCore Vanilla guide.
You need to follow the Bulldozer/Jaguar side of the AMD guide when creating your config.plist.

Bulldozer(15h) and Jaguar(16h) | OpenCore Install Guide

Here is a link to a guide for a similar aged AMD FX system. It might help you with your initial setup.

Success - Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 / FX 8350 / Nvidia GTX 690 / OC 0.7.6 - Big Sur 11.6.2 & Monterey 12.1

I have been playing around with my old AMD FX 8350 system (again) and decided to see if I could get it running macOS Big Sur. I used OpenCore 0.7.6 and followed the Dortania AMD Bulldozer guide when creating the EFI folder. I created my macOS Big Sur USB installer using the following...

You would need to edit the following in the config.plist as a minimum to work with your system:

• AMD Patches, first three patches, change core count from 08 to 04, to match your 4-core CPU (3rd & 4th numbers in the replace entry need to be changed).
• UEFI > APFS > MinDate and MinVersion entries, as they will be set as 0, you will need to enter the High Sierra date and version.

You don't say which motherboard you are using, so no idea which Ethernet kext you would need. The other kexts in the /EFI/OC/Kexts folder should be fine as a baseline.

Try the EFI attached below.

1. I have made a number of changes, including to the ACPI, Drivers, Kexts, Resources and Tools folders. Some additions but mostly removing items you don't need.
2. I have edited your config.plist, cleaning up and removing unnecessary items and checking some AMD essential elements were set correctly, not all of them were.
3. You need to generate and add the SMBIOS data you are going to use for your Hack.
4. As you are running High Sierra with and Nvidia dGPU I would recommend using the iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS.
5. Use Corpnewt's GenSMBIOS to generate a new SMBIOS for your system. This script can be run in macOS, Windows and Linux.
   • https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS
6. Then test the Serial number you generated against this Apple Support page, to ensure your Serial number is not being used by a real Mac.
   • You want a negative response from the Apple Support page.
   • Negative response from Apple Support page - means you can use the Serial Number etc for your hack.

See if this EFI gets you any further.

Ok, it's boot now, but say it's unsupported macosx version.

Where did you get you macOS installation app?
Which version are you using?
Which SMBIOS are you using?

 

[pepa1337]

I forgot to add smbios. i installed mac os success but now my WiFi card doesnt work. can you have kexts/drivers for Tplink wn722n v2?

 

[Edhawk]

TP-Link provide a driver for your WiFi card WN722n v2 that works up to and including macOS Catalina. So it should work in High Sierra.
