Advanced -> APM Configuration -> Power On By PCIe -> Disabled For OpenCore Using PlistEdit Pro add your details by modifying the following
IMPORTANT PATCH INFO TO SET THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey – Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.
Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA 0000 0000/BA 0000 0090* substituting with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.
Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12
See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.
| CoreCount | Hexadecimal |
|---|---|
| 6 Core | [ 06 ] |
| 8 Core | [ 08 ] |
| 12 Core | [ 0C ] |
| 16 Core | [ 10 ] |
| 32 Core | [ 20 ] |
So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090 Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090

Finally and as always, MAKE SURE YOU RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI
