Dell Precision 5820 - Xeon w2125

You're lucky. There is clearly a significant difference between the series with Xeon and Core-X processors. When trying to install, I always stand for "12 minutes left". Nevertheless, some data is saved on the disk. I suspect this is a rebooting / sleeping problem. I haven't solved it yet.

But My PCIE wifi card 94360cd works with bluetooth not work. Any one can provide some suggest?
I think it might be usb issue because I am using this EFI to install monterey but getting same problem.

What version of mainboard do you have ?
Any change if you set processor type to 3841

What is the difference with the processor type? I have tried it with the one in the EFI and 0 for auto, and both worked as intended.

I am not the originator, but I have built upon the last EFI posted and added support for the Dell Thunderbolt Card. I can confirm that it is all working in Ventura 13.1.

I have a model with a Xeon W-2255 / 128gb Ram and an 06JWJY motherboard.

dell have a few different board versions for 5820 xeon based machines ,
my usb mapping differs a little from what is shown in post 103 above.
likely due to different board version , can affect audio layout and possibly other items.
processor type for xeon W 0x0F01 => 3841 , i have same 06JWJY
is your cpu named correctly , mine isn't but may be due to being only 6 cores
I have type set to 3841 and use a cosmetic fix to correct naming

what bios version are you on , i've just flashed latest so i'll compare your efi later .

I’m on the latest bios released last week 2.4 or something like that.

Yes my CPU showed up as Xeon W 10 core in both setting it as 0 or 3842

Remember to configure emulated nvram

I also configured it to enable native vt-d as well as added cpu friend and max performance in the config. I get full expected performance in geekbench.
