Install freezes at 12 min; AMD Threadripper 3970x

[maccaroni]

I was gifted a Threadripper w/ motherboard from a friend so I decided to try my hands at a Ryzentosh before I go back to a Apple. The website has been super helpful in getting started, but after many adjustments and attempts I'm stuck with the same results. Install of MacOS Ventura / Sonoma hangs at 12 min and computer freezes up (mouse stops working). I've tried different OpenCore versions, Quirks, boot-args, kexts, MMIO Whitelist with the same results. I've also patched for the 32-core Threadripper in the kernel but I feel like there could be patches I'm overlooking in the ACPI. Any help getting the install done would be appreciated.

Build:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970x 32-core 3.7GHz
Gigabyte Aorus Trx40 Xtreme ver 1.1 (BIOS Feg latest)
G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 192B (6 x 32GB) 2666MHz
EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1080ti Hybrid (temporary until my RX 6600 arrives)
WD Black SN7100 1TB PCIe 4.0
SanDisk 64GB UHS-I USB 3.2 (installer thumb drive)
Dynatron L29 Liquid Cooler (280W TDW)
Lian-Li Edge Gold 750W PSU
Lian-Li Odyessey X Black Ed XL-ATX Case

OpenCore 1.05
MacOS Ventura (latest)

The most common cause for the installation stalling at the 12 minutes remaining mark, is a borked macOS installer. It is not likely to be a issue with the OC EFI, as an issue in the EFI is more likely to cause an early kernel panic.

You would be advised to delete/erase the current USB installer and macOS application. Download a new installation app using gibMacOS and recreating your USB installation drive. Obviously you have a working OC EFI, so the hard part has already been done.

I tried the install using MacOS Sonoma. This time the system rebooted at 12 min, and I expected to see the partition on the SSD appear, but no luck. I’ll try a Monterey installer when my Radeon card arrives; GeForce card may have pulled too much wattage and the PSU fan stopped working.

After a month of my RX 6600 XT being lost in the mail, I've finally have it installed and configured to get me to the macOS installer, but the system still freezes at 12 minutes left. I'm going to attempt to redo my thumb drive with builds from the gibMacOS instead of the AppleStore.

FYI. The installers are downloaded/served from the same location, i.e. Apple’s servers.
