AMD Threadripper 3970x on Gigabyte Aorus TRx40 Xtreme - Got it for a bottle of bourbon

[maccaroni]

I was gifted a Threadripper w/ motherboard from a friend (traded for a rare bottle of bourbon) so I decided to try my hands at a Ryzentosh before I go back to a Apple. The website has been super helpful in getting started, but after many adjustments and attempts I'm stuck with the same results. Install of MacOS Ventura / Sonoma hangs at 12 min and computer freezes up (mouse stops working). I've tried different OpenCore versions, Quirks, boot-args, kexts, MMIO Whitelist with the same results. I've also patched for the 32-core Threadripper in the kernel but I feel like there could be patches I'm overlooking in the ACPI. Any help getting the install done would be appreciated.

Build:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970x 32-core 3.7GHz
Gigabyte Aorus Trx40 Xtreme ver 1.1 (BIOS Feg latest)

EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1080ti Hybrid (temporary until my RX 6600 arrives)
G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 192B (6 x 32GB) 2666MHz
WD Black SN7100 1TB PCIe 4.0
SanDisk 64GB UHS-I USB 3.2 (installer thumb drive)
Dynatron L29 Liquid Cooler (280W TDW)
Lian-Li Edge Gold 750W PSU
Lian-Li Odyessey X Black Ed XL-ATX Case

OpenCore 1.05
MacOS Ventura (latest)

Hi and welcome here @maccaroni

have you searched in this thread?

 

 

different users with Similar your board (and someone with your Extreme)

Thread is not more updated because new CPU have more success by now in hackintosh

 

By the way, here Olarila is not supported for different reason!

One reason (personal reason) is inside your Olarila/kext EFI

you have a bunch of ethernet kext there not useful in your rig and many other unproper stuff 😛 🙂
