Has anyone done one of these yet? Looking to build a new 8 core monster. Dont wanna buy anything before I know what actually works.
Got USD$1050 for the CPU? i7 5960x is the only 8 core - 5930K is about $600 and the 5820K is around $400
At this point no one knows yet what works. Parts ordered haven't had time to arrive yet for first adopters unless they found a seller to drop ship overnight.
I agree it is overpriced but its going to be the main tool for my job so its 'worth' it. I have alot of the other components already so its not going to be a brutal build. Guess I'll have to sit back and wait for a little bit :
So you are planning a similar build?
Any advice on possible motherboards?
I was looking at the Gigabyte X99-UD4, only because of compatibility of past gigabyte board with hackintosh builds. But was this mostly because of the audio codecs?

Wouldn't the 5820 be fine for a single GPU (16 PCI-E lanes) and 2 SSD (2x4 PCI-E lanes) system?
so we need to wait the release of a new x99 macpro or it's possible to hack a x99 with 5820k right now?
i've to build an hackintosh but i'm waiting to buy components,x79 it's too old now and z97 4790k not too strong for my needs!
8 core is a waste of money right now maybe in one year they release sonething better value 4 money
xp941 will be the best choice for mac osx cuz 1200mb/s write.....
damn what can i do?
come on guys let's hack x99
