It took me 4 whole month for this machine to work, almost everything is working now, this machine got OEM madness and problems, OpenCore won't work, so does clover so I have to use Enoch, now it's enough for day to day tasks such as creating documents, browsing internet but some core parts aren't working

Here's some of the specs, I didn't blur my serial number since I'ma change it anyways

Things that's working

-Wi-Fi and LAN
-USB Power
-Sleep wake
-Shutdown and Reboot
-Graphics Acceleration (Pretty much fully)
Things that's not working
-iServices
-Audio
 
I forgot to mention that creating pages, numbers, keynote documents just crash the app, Xcode Swift just kernel panic
 
iServices won’t work with a patched AMD Kernel, it was one of the main failures back in the day when those OS’s were current. Same with a number of Apple applications they are looking for an Intel kernel process, which isn’t present in any AMD laptop.

Builtin Audio only works with VoodooHDA.kext on old AMD systems, as AppleALC.kext doesn’t contain any layout ID’s for the audio codecs AMD used in their old laptop or desktop systems. You need to add the VoodooHDA preference pane as well as the kext to get any sort of working audio.

You may be able to get Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which may work in these old versions of OS X. I am sure I used MS Office 2011 on an old AMD machine.
