Yes, I was aware of that, but your was a good advice. Actually, I'm already using a cheapo Amazon Basics DP<->USB-C bidirectional cable to drive an usb-c monitor. I don't think though, that such a cable can do 5k@60hz. I won't venture in trying a TB3 card. Your belkin cable will do :) But tell...

ADDENDUM: I selected a 10-th gen cpu not to be driven mad by a complexities with latest-gen intel processors. So, simplicity of installation is a priority. My goal is being able to drive the Studio Display with the rx 6600, with a DP --> USB-C cable. Will I be able to do that? Thanks!

Hi Folks! I can get the following components for a good price (some 300 bucks): - i3 10100F - Gigabyte H410M S2H V2 (I don't need wifi) - RX 6600 (Sapphire Pulse) I have the rest (case, psu, memory, and a 512gb samsung 970 pro, which should be compatible). I'll get BT with a dongle. Should I...

Uhm, try to follow that guide step by step.. Maybe you overlooked something during installation. Keep us posted ;)

Probably slightly different hardware on the fatal1ty series. The guys with extreme series seem to be happy with 10.11..

Tomtomx86, you are a wonderful user. You managed to succeed where many other failed, that is, have a fully functional El Capitan installation on X99, and published a detailed guide about that. You even answer kindly and quickly to help requests by less skilled hackintoshers (like me) :) You...

Well, I also like Asus brand over Asrock, but I'd rather avoid being stuck with Yosemite.. I run several real macs, and I can assure 10.11 is actually more stable than 10.10.. On the X99-E WS, they are trafficking from almost a year, not succeeding to install El Capitan on it. The guy with...

But they are stuck with Yosemite. Here http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-guides/181109-asrock-x99-extreme3-xeon-e5-1650v3-gtx-980-ti-osx-10-11-1-el-capitan.html , this guy got El Capitan installed on a cheapo Asrock board, it fully supports ECC ram, and is (as)rock solid.. Just an...

Any luck with Asus X99-E WS and El Capitan? Thanks!!

I'll keep you posted ;) As for the 2696v3, I'm not entirely sure one can run OS X on a 18 core cpu...

I thought ECC was a must for 24/7 computation (and a well-known Google paper about memory errors seems to confirm that..) It's not just to reduce system crashes probability. One has to take into account even silent file corruptions on the hd.

Nice option, I'll consider it. Thanks!

Thanks for your useful post! I'm in the process of building a Customac for 24/7 computation, target is convolutional nets training. I need ECC ram and a couple of nvidia GPUs, so the only reasonable choice is x99 (with a xeon cpu, I was thinking of e5-1650v3, six cores, as a reasonable...

Hi pals! I'm in the process of building a Customac for 24/7 computation, target is convolutional nets training. I need ECC ram and a couple of nvidia GPUs, so the only reasonable choice is x99 (with a xeon cpu, I was thinking of e5-1650v3, six cores, as a reasonable price-performance...

The short answer is NO. I tried, with no success :/
