Yes, ConnectDrivers=false only affects OpenCore's ability to boot from HFS. Unless you have some ancient macOS install on HFS, in practice the only effect you're likely to notice is that you can't boot the macOS Installer, which is HFS. But once the OS is installed on APFS it can be booted, and once booted everything will work normally.Ok, cool, thanks for the info, yeah, I only did a testing RAM overclock, from 3200 to 3466 and when entering BIOS and safe it, that't what pops-up when saving.
All the drives are APFS formatted. HFS will work when OS is loaded I guess ? Just not in OC if 'ConnectDrivers=false'
Therefore setting ConnectDrivers=false could be a long term solution for us: if/when we need to do a new install, we set it back to True, put up with the BIOS boot issue while installing (after it's rebooted once, the next boot will always work - until you go into the BIOS and hit F10 to re-save BIOS settings), then once installed set it to False again and everything will work normally. Making a new macOS install should be a very rare thing to do once the OS is installed (personally I never do it, even when moving to a new drive or system, as I use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my existing install.)
However we also have the patch which allows full normal OC usage. For now at least - one day it may no longer apply cleanly, depending on how the OpenCore code changes over time. I'd love to see it permanently included in OpenCore but it's @JTR 's work and he doesn't seem to have the time to submit it to Acidanthera at the moment.
