Asus Z690 ProArt Creator WiFi (Thunderbolt 4) + i7-12700K + AMD RX 6800 XT

Can this CPU change to intel i7 13700K?
 
Can someone help me with temperature sensors. I've tried several, but I can't find the information as if something is missing.
I went to read about it. However, all kexts are active. I'll put my EFI here, if anyone can help me how to fix this.
Thanks

This does not match known values. If you actually have a 6900 XTXH or 6950 XT we need an IOReg rather than the EFI folder.
Is this what you mean? The GPU is an ASUS TUF Gaming 6900XT.

Yes. It is a genuine 6900 XT (0x73bf) but 'device-id' shows up as <00 73 bf> (THREE bytes???) instead of <bf 73 00 00>.

I'm not sure what's going on here…
For a start, you may remove the "device-id" entry under DeviceProperties in config.plist.

That seems to be working. I'll test properly and get back with more information.

Thanks a lot!

My Windows option has disappeared from the OpenCore loader and no longer shows up in BIOS. How could changing the GPU device id in OpenCore config affect that?
 
** Update on Stability of Asus ROG Strix Z690-i WiFi mini-ITX System **

Despite increasing the speed of VRM fan, I continued to experience periodic total system crashes in both macOS and Windows. Thinking I may have applied too much thermal paste and the CPU was experiencing periodic heat-related problems, I decided to remove the CPU, replace the thermal paste, and reinstall it.

There was indeed a bit too much paste, but not enough to cause system instability. Nevertheless I applied a thinner amount, which actually led to reduced CPU temps.

Idle temps:

But those pesky total system crashes occurred again.

Although I ran MemTest sometime ago (for only a few minutes) with no errors reported, I decided to replace both memory modules with those from my Asus ProArt Z690-Creator. And so far the system has been solid, but I'll stress this thing out and report the outcome.

Update 1:
Just installed the suspicious DDR5 memory modules into the ProArt Z690-Creator and macOS crashed on first boot right after logging in. Now filing an RMA with G.Skill...

Update 2:
Over 5 hours on uptime now. No crashes.

Update 3:
20 hours without crash.

Update 4:
Over 26 hours now without a problem. Numerous sleep/wake cycles performed flawlessly. Case closed: Replacing the two DIMMs has solved the problem. Now I'm totally satisfied with my first and only mini-ITX build!

Tell me, what kind of monitoring program is in the screenshot?
