sell 10900kf for more accurate 10900K?
Waste of money. Optimize CPU power managemen using CPUFriendFriend instead.

Very High Power usage on ice lake laptop.
Generate a CPUFriendDataProvider with CPUFriendFriend and put it in your kext folder alongside CPUFriend.kext

Hackintosh quite rarely but still annoyingly crashes then proceeds to lock screen
This should be the command line. $ git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/CPUFriendFriend.git $ cd CPUFriendFriend $ ./CPUFriendFriend.command

ThinkPad P50 Big Sur OpenCore
I also used CPUFriendFriend to generate the kext for power savings according to my liking. The idle power usage is <1W.

Idk what am I doing wrong
I don't. Have you looked at the AppleALC wiki to see which IDs that might need? https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

ALC294 Messy Audio (Crackles, Boops & more) Comet Lake Hackintosh
I have a Comet Lake laptop (i7-10510U & UHD 620) with the ALC294 Audio Card. I've tried all of the layout ID's listed on https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs. But all of them sound the same. I'm also using macOS Monterey... Any fix?
-
MacOS stuck on an apple logo with progress bar.
Do not enter the digits of your audio codec as your alcid. For example: "alcid=298" (ALC298). Use appropriate alcids from the AppleALC wiki: https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

My first ever Hackintosh!!!! (on Microsoft Surface laptop go)
Use linux to find out your audio codec (ALC...) and use this to narrow down the layout ids you could use. Try all of them and see which one works. Good luck!

How do i install alc-verb and use dump-coeff script?
So..i have a Lenovo Legion 7i Laptop with Realtek ALC287 audio codec, i've used layout-id 11 and 21, (21 seems to be better, since an internal and external mic device seems to be appearing on the System Preferences) however, although slider, volume, works...i still got no audio (both input and output), been surfing around and got to this link : https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Dumping-processing-coefficients
