Finally i made it work with your EFI (You made it!). The only thing i see is because i changed from iMacPro1,1 to MacPro7,1 Smbios and i get this notification:

It detects i have 8x16GB, but not sure if everything is working or if it just uses 4 of the 8 modules. Do you have the same problem? Is there any fix for this?

Translation:

128GB Installed

Your mac have 8 memory slot, each one with 1 module of 3200MHz DDR4.

Atention!

Your mac has more installed memory than allowed. Until it have a maximum of 768GB of installed memory, the mac will only use one memory module.

It's just a cosmetic stuff, simply ignore this tab, your ram works normal. You can get rid of the notification with https://github.com/acidanthera/RestrictEvents

A little more involved but you can also do this.

Currently only have two sticks atm since i'm using the other two sticks in another build but you get the gist

Thanks! I finally followed the OpenCore fix you recommend me and i did it! I would like the Slots without memory at the end, but... (I see your setup have the "same problem", so i expect is not possible)

Thank you very much!

Yes unfortunately we can't do much about those last 4 slots since the real Mac Pro has twelve DIMM slots.

My latest EFI I posted uses RestrictEvents so no need to modify the CustomRam tree. You can ignore the Memory tab in About This Mac.

You should download the latest one I posted. Also you don't need to use iMacPro1,1 just use MacPro7,1 which I use.
 
@Loloflatsix can you upload a ioreg dump of the rampage vi extreme encore?
Thanks!
 
Messed around with my Intel x550 card and was able to load the Sonnet drivers by using the Ubuntu EEPROM modding. Got the IDs from this post
www.tonymacx86.com

Intel Network adapters on OS X: Small Tree drivers

I use the SmallTreeIntel8259x.kext in Catalina , it works perfectly though. My X520 DA-1 : device and vendor IDs, is 10fb and 8086 and the NIC showed up as enp0s3 not "eth0". "eth0" are the onboard nic, " enp*s* " are PCI-E inteface

Guess we can use these as an alternative to the SmallTree drivers although the Catalina drivers still work in Big Sur.
