Koteto, I've built a number of these machines (identical builds except 64GB RAM and 4GB 770s) specifically for AE/Nuke/Maya/Arnold/Octane rendering. So let's try to figure this out. - Have you tried the Web Drivers (not the GTX drivers, but the Quadro OSX drivers that shilohh links in op)...

Thanks! Totally missed that news post. Mod, please feel free to delete this thread.

Hi all, was just wondering if anyone has got the brand new EVGA GTX 960 to run in a Mavericks or Yosemite build? This is the card I'm thinking about buying: note it will be used for 3D work so cuda is important to work as well...

I ended up doing this on a 9-blade unit with Asus RAMPAGE IV Gene boards. Would anyone be interested in a how-to? e: We use it as a render farm machine in a VFX facility, so each and every blade is at ~99%-100% CPU load for up to 100+ hour stretches at a time.

Hey farcry, just wanted to tell you I used your unibeast settings and advice to setup a similar build to yours on a 9-node blade server! However I could not get Chimera to boot past the black screen after the apple logo without using GraphicsEnabler=Yes, just FYI! npci flag seemed critical as...

Hello Koteto, all of those parts will work together :) I have built now 7 of shilohh's machines for work and my partlist is very similar :) I HIGHLY recommend the X79 Gskillsz RAM!

discoman, unless you already have that RAM in your board, I would recommend only sticking with X79-environment rated RAM in these builds (G.Skillz Ripjawsz)

We're getting this issue on one of our shiloh machines where the mouse will lag if there is some processor-intensive stuff going on in the background. Switching between either Web Drivers or Stock Nvidia drivers does not seem to fix the issue... Any ideas?

shilohh - Just wanted to let you know I've built in total 3 of your systems now, and each runs FLAWLESSLY (however I HIGHLY RECOMMEND only using G.Skillz Ripjaws Z 1600 RAM for 110% RAM stability) First system had Corsair Vengeance 2133 RAM and has a ~1% chance to need to re-boot after...

What is the fastest i7 you would recommend putting in this build?

You may be able to fix dock/menu bar issue by going to System Preferences > Mission Control > and unchecking the option that has to do with each screen having its own 'space'.

Has anyone ever built a Hackintosh with a high-density server? Is it even possible? We are interested in something like these: http://www.supermicro.com/products/SuperBlade/

Hi self, <key>DefaultVolume</key> <string>*Name of your boot HDD*</string> will fix this.

Sounds like either the mobo is bad or being underpowered or overheated :/

Hey all, I just built a rig following shilohh's golden build. Everything works flawlessly, when I initially installed, Clover would autoboot. Now though, it does not, even though timeout is set to 0 in config.plist on my EFI partition. Any ideas why it's not autobooting? I don't want the gui...
