This is more than macOS can natively handle. You can work around this problem through the 'Control MSR CFG Lock' menu item in the configured picker. A CFG Lock option is present in the firmware, but is hidden from the BIOS GUI. My configuration won't boot without this (I haven't tested the AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock quirks). The OpenCore documentation recommends that the setup allows macOS to unlock the 0圎2 registry. Most settings can be seen in this photo album. I currently use BIOS F22f, which runs OK as far as the memory sticks use the two slots nearest to the CPU. This board is notoriously picky regarding memory, so you might have to configure the BIOS with a single memory stick at first. Points which require personalization BIOS

Main partition should remain identical to that of an official Apple computer, and the bulk of the hacks needed to make the hardware run smoothly are contained on the EFI partition. I try to maintain a vanilla macOS installation. This makes certain features, like hibernation and FileVault which rely on NVRam, much more reliable. The motivation for the switch to OpenCore was improved memory management with recent boards, especially those with AMI Aptio firmwares like the one I use. This OpenCore setup takes profit from the experience I gained with the same hardware, but with the Clover bootloader.
