I've pre-planned a build based almost 100% on the CustoMac Pro posted in this month's buyer's guide. So far my only deviation is going with Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8gb). Worthy of note here is that I've chosen non-LP. Can anyone comment on how this height difference may play out with the...

Hey everyone, I'm a composer/producer looking to build a slave machine to run my virtual instruments. I put together a build at CyberPowerPC, at first thinking I'd just use a PC slave, but then the thought occurred to me : why not try to run it as a Hackintosh and make things simpler? And so...

Hi Everyone, Question from someone who doesn't know/understand RAM pairing/dual-channel, etc. I made my first build using Kingston HyperX 1600mhz RAM, 2 X 4GB. I put them on a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H, rev 1.1, in the first and third slot, so I believe they should be in dual-channel mode. My...
