All the cards listed in the Buyer's Guide are recommended for a Customac Pro. Those two you're looking at are actually not the most "Pro" ones in the list anymore, anyway.

I'm running my third Hackintosh built with a similar intent as you: Premiere/After Effects/Davinci Resolve up to UHD. The current iteration of X99 motherboard/Haswell Xeon CPU/64GB RAM/twin GTX 970 GPUs has been excellent for editing with 1080p proxy files (I often offline edit on my 13"...

No you won't. Though I will quickly learn to hate the new one, just as much!

Did you solve this in the end? Back in the day the DVI-D port used to be a no-go. I've just tried mine with the Bulrushes frame buffer and it doesn't show anything after boot. I can't remember any joy with Duckweed as a frame buffer either. You might have better luck using the hdmi port.

To those with issues where devices aren't showing up as Thunderbolt devices in the system report: I'm running a Z77 based system, with integrated Thunderbolt. Devices don't show up as Thunderbolt connected in the system report, but they do show up elsewhere in the system report and work...

Had this issue, and called Apple. They couldn't find me on their systems with the serial number my system's using, but got there in the end with other details they had for me on my iMessage account. After that they fixed it very quickly. All in took about ten minutes (including the time...

A smaller PSU might well do it. Pics here show others have managed it: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7219/bitfenix-announces-the-prodigy-m-case-a-prodigy-for-matx Personally I find it difficult to get excited between PSUs, and I had a Corsair CX in the past which was fine. Otherwise I...

Looking here, my GPU is only 230mm long: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3630#sp That fit in PCI slot 1 and 4 no problems, but you're right, a 280/290mm card would hit the PSU if it was in slot 1. I'm actually running my GPU from slot 4, as it worked out better...

Reading around Avid (which I don't use much), the GPU support doesn't seem up to much. I'd say Premiere is more advanced in that respect. I've had a look at the supported cards for the Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere, and can't find the GT 640 in there. Here's Adobe's list of what works, and...

I'm using a Prodigy M with an Antec 900W Gaming PSU (complete overkill, to be honest). It's not modular, and it all fits. Sometimes when I open the case I think it could all look a bit neater with a modular supply, but it's certainly not necessary. In mine I've got four RAM chips, a big fan...

You're right about the RAM slots and how close they are too the CPU. My fan's quite big and I had to take the heatsink off the Corsair dimm that sits nearest the processor. Not a big deal as those heatsinks are held on with a foam that insulates heat on the chip rather than conducting it away...

Did you ever work this one out? I'm getting a series of drive kicks/remounts, and this 'not receiving enough extra current' error is popping up in my console. Like you, my drive has its own power supply.

Did you have any luck with this? I've bought a pfu3-4p and can't see mine in the system profiler. Although it's not showing in windows 7 device manager, either. [EDIT] Just to update, I swapped mine out to a different PCIe slot, and it's now showing up.

I've been using the onboard HD3000 as for GUI, and my Radeon 6850 for GPU in Davinci Resolve. You need to set the system profile to Mac Mini 5,1 in Multibeast to make it work, and make sure in the BIOS your internal HD3000 graphics card is set as the primary. Do bear in mind this might cause...

Thanks, Skirk. Put yours in place of the Caldigit one on my system. I did have a drive kick early on but just ran Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on one of my external drives for about twenty minutes, and looking pretty stable now.
