I was happy to see the battery didn't have larger than 8-bit registers, so no battery ACPI patching required, yay. You just need to install SMCBatteryManager.kext

No kexts other than Realtek8111 for the on board LAN. This will be related to the USB mapping for your particular motherboard. I went into my bios and turned off extra usb 3.0 ports than what I needed and made sure the usb 2.0 ports were one because that's what the header is plugged into. What SSDT did you use? I used this one: https://github.com/khronokernel/Opencore-Vanilla-Desktop-Guide/blob/master/extra-files/SSDT-EC-USBX-AMD.aml
