If you are using a Dedicated GPU: iMacPro1,1 or even MacPro6,1 for macOS Big Sur
if you are using a Dedicated GPU: iMac13,2 for macOS Catalina and below

Note: Dedicated GPU users have to remove EFI/OC/Config.plist > DeviceProperties > PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) entry.

To change the SMBIOS go to EFI/OC/Config.plist > PlatformInfo > Generic > SystemProductName Refer to SMBIOS Choices to pick the correct SMBIOS choice that fits your needs.

SMBIOS

In order to have working iServices, generate your own SMBIOS values like:

Serial Number
MLB (Board Serial Number)
ROM
UUID

Refer to SMBIOS Choices to pick the correct SMBIOS choice that fits your needs. To change SMBIOS go to EFI/OC/Config.plist > PlatformInfo > Generic > SystemProductName

Power Management

The included EFI/OC/ACPI/SSDT.aml is for Intel Core i7-3770 CPU which is the one that my HP Desktop does have. If you have same CPU model on your HP machine, you are good to go, nothing is needed to be done.
If you have different CPU, grab and copy your SSDT.aml that you previously generated that you currently use with Clover or OpenCore and paste it into EFI/OC/ACPI/ to replace the one i provided so you have Power Management for your CPU Model.

Note: this is still work in progress !

HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF

This efi will be work on HP compaq 8200 elite sff?

Hi Sniki! Thanks so much for your sharing this here. I've attempted to upgrade this from 0.63 to 0.72 three different times now and each time I've been met with failure where OC doesn't show the macOS drive upon boot. It seems as though something is not being upgraded properly in my cases, perhaps in the config.plist, but it is extremely baffling.

Could you please upgrade this to 0.72 and update accordingly? This would be an enormous help and I'd be fine if you need some kind of donation to help cover your time in making the update. This is a very frustrating situation in that there are some things I need via the new OC releases.
