USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt are not the same thing. USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3 only happen to be able to share the same USB Type-C connector. So the answer is no, unless your motherboard has Thunderbolt 3 and MacOS has driver support. You could get a USB A to USB C adapter to be compatible with...

Wow that's great to hear. I'm really tempted!

You've built my dream hackintosh! Does anything not work? Do you know if the NVMe is working? Does it even boot from NVMe? Thanks for sharing.

I've got the C2750 running FreeNAS to provide remote Time Machine backups and AFP shares. It's rock-solid and ZFS gives me confidence my data is intact. The Marvell SATA ports are reportedly unstable under high load so I only use those connected to Intel chipsets. The new FreeNAS beta has a very...

I'm asking because I also have the Asrock Rack C2750. That link is a great find, looks to be working properly. I think I'll give it a shot some time. Thanks!

Awesome build! Do you have ECC RAM working?

No I haven't. I'm still not aware of proof that it will work. The Mac Pro hasn't been updated in so long I fear the OS may also be missing drivers for newer workstation chipsets. Does your AsRock Rack C2750 run MacOS?

I would also like to know if there is compatible Xeon & ECC hardware.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to gather information about C232 or C236 chipsets for recent Xeons. Reports of suitable hardware for Xeons and ECC RAM is lacking in general.

That's the kind of specs I'm looking for. Did the installation go smooth? Any instability or incompatibilities?

Unless Apple comes out with a Mobile Xeon based MacBook Pro, I'm hoping to build a workstation with ECC RAM in the near future. Currently I'm eyeing something like the Gigabyte GA-X150M-PRO ECC based on Intel's C232 chipset and I'd pair it with a Xeon v5. I'm not in a hurry but is it...
