As always, double/triple check everything to make sure, it's a relatively light setup, but better safe than sorry!

## Final product showcase

If all goes well, this is what the final product should look like, the entire boot process from start to finish. If you're not dualbooting then you can ignore the "Windows Boot Manager" and "macOS Boot Manager" part of the video:

## macOS Sonoma and later WiFi notes

macOS Sonoma has removed Broadcom WiFi card support we all know and love. This means cards like DW1560/DW1820a which I have used with this build before are no longer working. You can make them work with [OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/), but I decided that is too much headache and simply put in an Intel 9260NGW WiFi card along with [AirportItlwm](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm). It's a shame we lose AirDrop and other Continuity features, I'm only glad we still have Location support.

As for the Bi-directional PROCHOT (BDPROCHOT), I've encountered this several times at work with our Dell machines and finally figured out how to stop it or at least suppress it. What happens is either a sensor dies, misinforms the BIOS or just the power supply is crappy and sends signals all over the place which in turn locks your CPU to a low power state.
Sometimes it's 0.79GHz, sometimes a little bit higher or lower, but the result is an EXTREMELY slow system.
The computer thinks it's essentially on fire and limits everything it can to save itself. However, in reality, the cooling is more than enough and no overheating is ocurring. I've had to replace a few motherboards under warranty to fix this issue before, but I found out that you don't need to do any of that, you just set the variables hidden in the BIOS as shown above. Of course, this remove the temperature checks/protections and could result in your computer overheating, so exercise caution with this option. I'm sure other CPU overheating protections would kick in regardless, but this probably voids your warranty, unless you reset the BIOS completely before sending your computer in.
Rambling aside, I will be making a tutorial on how to find the variable and turn it off and get your CPU speed back up to normal in the future.
