Warning
When installing or updating the system, be sure to disable the NootedRed driver in config.plist, otherwise the installation process will get stuck at the progress bar and cannot be installed normally.
BFixup.kext must be loaded before NootedRed, meaning the loading order should be adjusted to Lilu > BFixup > NootedRed.

You can control the temperature within a suitable range by turning off
CPS (core performance boost), but this will lose some performance. For improved temperature control and battery life, the SMCAMDProcessor modified by @htmambo now disablesCPSby default. Enable it manually for better performance. You can customize the enabling status and set the default frequency value ofCPSin OC\Kexts\AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext\Contents\Info.plist as shown in the table below:Property Default (0: Disabled, 1: Enabled) Remarks CPBStatus 0 CPB status SpeedID 0 ID value in the frequency table; check the specific frequency by opening AMD Power Gadget.appand navigating toSpeed->Advanced Options -
The
BFixup.kextdowngrades the OpenGL version to prevent system freezing, allowing certain applications like Chrome to work normally. However, it may also cause some applications to not work. If you encounter any problems, please disable theBFixup.kext.
