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

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

Problems installing Mac os Monteray
Take out the AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext. Add AirportItlwm.kext (if you have Intel Wifi) and IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext. Also, make SURE you grab the correct AirportItlwm kext for your operating system (Big sur, Monterey, etc.). I'm assuming your UTBMap kext is the USB map. You might want to rename that and see if that helps as well (to USBMap or USBPorts).

Bluetooth issue with Monterey
I digged into discussions about Monterey's bluetooth support problems, which said that Apple downgraded BT support to 5.0, while some of Intel's BT adapters support only BT 5.2. But one commit of IntelBluetoothFirmware said that it added support for those cards. I switched to Windows and found the VID/PID of the bluetooth device is precisely 8087/0026, which is in the support list.
