I've build a similar setup with your guide, thanks a lot for that.

So far everything works except temperature sensor and power management, just before breaking things have you tried to get power management working? Then I may try the following link's guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/pm.html#sandy-and-ivy-bridge-power-management

I'm glad you've got it mostly working!
I do have power management working, but not in the most elegant way.
I tried the guide you linked, but I didn't have any success with it, when running ssdtPRgen, it just kept failing.
My workaround is to use the NullCPUPowerManagement Kext (can be downloaded from my repo). This works, but not very well. I found that it was running the CPU at a higher frequency than it needed to (according to intel power gadget).
However, without it, My CPU was running at around 75ºC at idle, which I didn't really want to be doing. With the kext it is at a pretty stable 40ºC when idle.
Have a go at creating proper power management(keep in mind my attempts failed), but if you just want a useable machine, the kext works adequately.
Good Luck!
