BIOS v2.0.11

change to AHCI instead of RAID
disable all SGX, security features
do not touch Sleep States, Performance states, SpeedShift etc. Leave them at defaults

CFG-LOCK disable — Do this ONLY after your installation is complete

Follow the steps here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/hz2rtm/cfg_lockunlocking_alternative_method/
The cfg-lock offset is 0x3E for BIOS 2.0.11
You must use boot to ru.efi directly and not from OpenCore. modGRUB will not work!
You must perform this step everytime you reset the BIOS configuration/update the bios.
Once you have verified CFG-LOCK is disabled with VerifyMSRE2.efi in OpenCore, disable in config Kernel -> Quirks -> AppleCpuPmCfgLock and Kernel -> Quirks -> AppleXcpmCfgLock
