Hackintosh Olarila HackBeast GA Z590 Gaming X / Core i9 11900k with Thunderbolt - Full DSDT patches - Guide and Discussion

I've got the same setup and just upgraded to Monterey. I have an Intel i7-11700k with this memory G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory but it's unstable with Bios setting XMP set to Profile 1. It won't come out of sleep and it take nearly 3-minutes to boot up. When it's not set to Profile 1 it's stable, but I do notice it's a bit slower. Thoughts? config.plist.zip
