Things have moved on since your last Hack was configured, I hope you are willing to refresh your Hackintosh knowledge.

Don’t use WhateverGreen.kext during the installation process, as it may cause problems that can be circumvented by disabling the kext during the installation process.

No idea if your CPU configuration is correct.
  1. Are you using the latest AMD Kernel patches?
  2. Have you set the first four patches to reflect the number of cores in your CPU?
 
i have been used
OpCore-Simplify-main :)
also did try the bootflag
agdpmod=pikera yes/no ? with NooRX.kext ...
bootflag @ moment: -v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 agdpmod=pikera

Bios:
Secure Boot DIsabled
4G Decoding Enabled

You don’t need to add the agdpmod=pikera boot argument when using NootRX.kext.

It is only required when using WhateverGreen, and some have found they don’t need to use it in Tahoe. So some trial and error testing on your part may be required to see how your system performs.

The full list of AMD Bios settings are linked below.

Got network to run but after Install it Reboot Loop... =(
 
Only problem with the EFI you found is that it is out of date for any recent versions of macOS, such as Sonoma, Sequoia and Tahoe.

The AMD Kernel patches in the config.plist are not up to date either.
SecureBootModel should be set as 'Disabled' not as 'Default'
Intel 2.5G Ethernet controllers can be problematic in macOS. But you seem to have all the necessary fixes in your setup.

I have amended the config.plist in the attached EFI to better reflect the needs for your system. Try it in place of your current folder and see where that gets you.

The CPU name issue is purely cosmetic. It will have no bearing on the way the CPU works. That will be dictated by the CPU core entries in the AMD Kernel patches.

Why did you update the Bios?

When changing the Bios, this can cause problems with your OC setup, as it may require different MmioWhitelist settings and patches for the system DSDT.aml.
 
everything still works fine just this faulty Network issue with the ethernet Adapter i bought a TP Link USB 3.0 Device for External Network Adapter ;)
hmm my Front USB A ports not working but USB C front works well
Strange thing is i can boot at the beginning from the USB Front is the Mapping wrong ?
EDIT also some HDMI sound issues. Only Dectect the Sound if i reconnect the Cable after Booting.
on the weekend i will work on it again (y)

Sounds working now with some bootargs :) keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 agdpmod=pikera alcid=1 igfxonln=1 alcdelay=1000
Now just my Front USB Mapping is painfull
Legacy mode USB - should be "off" or it doesn't matter ?

Legacy mode USB should be enabled, well that is what I do when the option is available in the Bios.

You have 2 x USB Controllers named XH00. Currently the ports from both controllers are mixed together and it is not clear which port belongs to each controller. The easiest way to see which port is associated with each controller is to sort the ports in the Hackintool USB pane by use of the ‘Location ID’ column.

Using Hackintool to configure the USB ports on an AMD system isn’t how I would do things. I think Corpnewt’s USBMap script is a better tool for systems with multiple USB Controllers, such as our AMD Hacks.

Looking at the Hackintool PCIe devices screenshot I can see you have a number of devices that are not using a full IOReg name, I.e. part of the name is missing and has been replaced with ‘pci-bridge’. This is an empty placeholder, which can be fixed using Corpnewt’s SSDTTime script and your systems ACPI tables. The use of the empty placeholder means that the devices are not going to be enabled and active in macOS.
