Can one build a hackintosh using the Asus' Dominus Extreme (built around C621 chipset) motherboard paired with a w-3175x CPU?
 
I want to build the same configuration. We need kgp skills for this but he prefers to wait for the next Intel Generation.
 
I have purchased these parts and plan to do a build. I'm going to start a thread following initial planning is completed. Daz

Fantastic news! Will you list all your hardware parts and a full tutorial?

Of course he does. He just completed an awesome build on current gen hardware. :) The Xeon W 3175-X and Dominus are not X599 as Intel proclaims - but the long in the tooth 621 Lewisburgh chipset due for replacement. So it makes since to wait.

That said, I aquired the hardware anyway and am begining planning for a macOS build on it. There is no reason to do so, and it will be filled with frustration. But what am I gonna due - ya can't run cinebench and look at a 7K score forever. :)

Any progress on your build? Do you happen to know if the dominus extreme is MSR locked? I ran thru the manual /bios but couldn't find the option. I'm seriously considering the jump. Please let us know. You seem to be the pioneer on this built.

I’m waiting too - though Intel just announced their Cascade Lake series (which I guess would be drop-in compatible with the motherboard for the SP parts with BIOS upgrades)
 
The next Mac Pro is a 28 core that is most likely going to be a variant of the W-3275X using the exact same 621 chipset. The Mac Pro being on this platform will probably open up a lot of doors for 28 core mackintoshes based on this platform.
