Hello,
This repository is meant to share the tweaks and adjustments I achieved - with help from others, of course!
My setup:
- MSI B550M MAG MORTAR WIFI
- AMD Ryzen 3600 (Stock)
- 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance
- XFX RX 580 8GB (UV -50mv + Memory Timmings)
- SSD Kingston 256 GB
Pre-requisites:
- Downgrade Bios Version to '7C94v12' (otherwise the installation will mostly render unsuccessful) (notice that, this means you cannot have and 5000 series processor, since they need a newer bios version to work)
- Latest OS (As of today that is: BigSur 11.6 and Monterey Beta 8. Both are working fine)
- Latest OpenCore Bootloader (as of today that is 0.7.4, never copy the contents of the EFI folder and use it strait away, always use the latest kexts and opencore files)
- AMD Kernel Patches (https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla)
Bios Settings:
- Wake on Lan --> OFF
- Above 4G Decoding --> OFF
- TPM --> OFF
- Secureboot --> OFF
What's Working:
