## Config
- SMBIOS used - [MacPro7,1](https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacPro7,1) ~~[iMacPro1,1](https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=iMacPro1,1)~~
- `agdpmod=pikera` for AMD dGPU
- [PlatformInfo](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#platforminfo)
    1. Copy `_/scripts/platformInfo.dist` file to `_scripts/platformInfo` and fullfill platformInfo parameters inside this file
    2. Then:
        1. To APPLY parameters to config.plist use command: `sh _/scripts/run.sh --apply`
        2. To REVERT parameters from config.plist use command: `sh _/scripts/run.sh --revert`
    3. You can also use OpenCore Configurator to generate & fill automatically OR use GenSMBIOS to generate only
    4. Remember to use correct SMBIOS Type when generating
    5. Scripts are included for faster cleaning unnecessary parameters on my end

## BIOS

- Settings > IOPorts > Internal Graphics = on
- Settings > IOPorts > HD Audio Controller = on
- Settings > IOPorts > Above 4G Encoding = on
- Settings > IOPorts > Re-Size BAR Support = on
- Settings > IOPorts > USB Configuration > XHCI Hand-off = on
- Settings > IOPorts > SATA Configuration > SATA Mode = AHCI
- Settings > Miscellaneous > Intel Platform Trust Technology = on
- Settings > Miscellaneous > VT-d = on
- Boot > CFG-Lock = off
- Boot > Fast Boot = off
- Boot > Windows 10 Features = Windows 10
- Boot > CSM Support = off

## Overclocking
