Hey @tecemac, this thread got a little hijacked. Its really for the Z590i but more recent posts have to do with the Z690i Gaming Wifi board. I have been following CaseySJ's thread and got the beginning of my EFI from there. Yes I recommend using MacPro7,1.
If you have no issues in Windows it's not a hardware issue . Did you overclock the RAM using XMP memory profiles or change memory timings? Have you checked your system temperatures running wither OS? Make sure your bios are correct too, load the optimized settings in the boot menu and then adjust per the first post.

Thanks for the your response, i did load optimized defaults and reapply all the settings from the first post. at one point i did load the XMP profile for my ram but I disabled it while trying to troubleshoot the restarts. look over the bios again, and I will get a different NVMe for MacOS. would the issue with the 980 affect macOS since Win10 is installed, essentially i dont use the 980 for macOS just windows? (i can still return the 970...cant return the 980 tho)If you have no issues in Windows it's not a hardware issue . Did you overclock the RAM using XMP memory profiles or change memory timings?

Just a quick note, and not necessarily related to your restart issues, the 970EVO Nvme drive you are using eventually will begin to take longer and longer to boot due to an incompatibility with that model drive and how OSx performs trim commands. You can supposedly have data issues too and outright kill the drive reportedly. I would replace it when you can, the 980 you have shares the same issues (I've used both but not anymore). See the link below. I've switched over to Western Digital SN770 and SN750 models and had no issues.

The 980 won’t affect performance in OSx
Ok so I’m back again after trying a few things I’m still having this issue. I went back and double checked my bios settings, updated the bios on the board. I even went back to the original EFI that you uploaded…and somehow it seems the issue got worse…when I boot my system crashes and reboots within about 2 minutes. I’m at a loss now and don’t know what else to try.If you have no issues in Windows it's not a hardware issue . Did you overclock the RAM using XMP memory profiles or change memory timings?

It's unusual for this to be happening in Big Sur, if you were using Monterey I'd say it was because of the Ethernet I225V issue. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/no-network-intel-i225-in-12-0-1.316528/
You can try this version, I stripped out everything that isn't essential. No Thunderbolt support and no ethernet either but both can be added back in. Kexts and OpenCore have been updated as well. Copy it to a USB drive and and boot from it, wouldn't hurt to reset Nvram as well, hit the space bar at the OpenCore menu of you don't see it.
