IMPORTANT PATCH INFO TO SET THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Patches are now universal across 15h, 16h, 17h, and 19h by utilizing the OpenCore kernel Quirk ProvideCurrentCpuInfo. OpenCore 0.7.1 or newer is required.
Make sure to enable this quirk or the system won't boot.
Note for Zen 4: Zen 4 (Ryzen 7000) requires patching for IOPCIFamily.kext. This patch is enabled by default. Please ensure that you've added it to your current config for Zen 4 stability. This patch also allows MSI A520, B550, and X570 boards to boot macOS Monterey and newer.
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the four algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.
| CoreCount | Hexadecimal |
|---|---|
| 4 Core | [ 04 ] |
| 6 Core | [ 06 ] |
| 8 Core | [ 08 ] |
| 12 Core | [ 0C ] |
| 16 Core | [ 10 ] |
| 24 Core | [ 18 ] |
| 32 Core | [ 20 ] |
So for example, a user with a 6-core processor should use these Replace values: B8 06 0000 0000 / BA 06 0000 0000 / BA 06 0000 0090 / BA 06 0000 00 EXAMPLE
Finally and as always, MAKE SURE YOU RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI
