Hey how's it going? Did you ever have any success with the Asus Z10PE series mobo?Just bought two ASUS Z10PE-D16/4L's. I'll try both as Hackintoshes, with two Xeon E5-2697 v4's and 64 GB of 2400 MHz RAM. Anyone have any insight on things to look out for with this or D16/WS (if it translates)?
They'd mostly be used as audio workstations. Not sure which graphics card to go for, but I'll try an XFX Radeon RX 480 8 GB card and if that doesn't work, a GTX 1060 card when they appear. ASUS GTX 970 or something as a last resort.
If used for audio, I'd ideally want UAD Apollo's connected through Thunderbolt, but can't figure out how to add that to this motherboard. ASUS Thunderbolt II EX isn't listed as compatible on ASUS' site, and I can't find any alternatives. Maybe I'll have to find a different motherboard, hopefully dual Xeon, with either onboard Thunderbolt or add-on card support. Maybe SuperMicro X10DAi and SuperMicro AOC-TBT-DSL5320?
I hope you did.
Thx.
