Here is the barebones system: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=SY-847R7FT ( Supermicro SuperServer SYS-8047R-7RFT+ Quad LGA2011 1400W 4U Rackmount/Tower Server Barebone System ). Among other things, each of my two Supermicro SuperServer SYS-8047R-7RFTs currently has 4xE5-4650s V.1...

10.9.2 runs 32 cores, but no more [ https://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/558552 ]. I haven't taken the time to get power management running; that why score is so low.

The Supermicro DAX motherboards are the ones that are overclockable to the safe maximum limit (x1.0755% in the case of the Sandy/Ivy bridge DAX motherboards and x1.05% for the Haswell DAX motherboard) for post-Westmere Xeons. Other post-Westmere Supermicro motherboards can't be over-clocked...

I have not tried OSX 10.10 yet. Mavericks recognizes the full 128Gs that I've installed. Not sure whether any greater amount of ram would work.

Update - Yes [ http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/558552 ].

Eureka! It's Gardena.

Nope. Moreover, that wouldn't have yielded a better Hackintosh score because there's a thread cap in OS X. My CPUs are quad E5-4650 V1s, stepping C1 (clocked exactly like E5-2680 V1s {2.7 GHz base and 3.5 GHz max turbo} and clocked a little higher than the fastest E7-4800 V2, including the >$6K...

Is this [ http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/558552 ] what you're talking about?

skyyxy - Not that particular 4 CPU system yet.

You make good points.

That motherboard can take advantage of faster ram : DDR3 2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory [ http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_2011/Z9PED8_WS/#specifications ]. I have that mobo and those chips. In bios, you can force it to run at...

Thanks for those references.

What motherboard do you have and how did you enable "Generation 1 support"?

Sure - as soon as I get my replacement Z9PE-D8 WS and get it set up.

Edited my post, above, to cover some other options.
