That is the strongest PC/Hackintosh/Mac that I've seen in my entire life. It's going to be a real challenge to get the 128 GB of RAM completely full :p

You don't need much more for that =3
 
Wow, really nice! :)
 
Thanks all.

Yes, there are a few video apps that use the memory really quickly.

Well, I tried setting it to Macpro 3,3 and 5,1 and other settings, but can't get more than 13,000 on geekbench when the win7 version gets 40,000.

Wonder what other tweaks there are to try.
 
Simply Phenomenal. :thumbup:

Search for the folks who did the SR-2 builds, with dual CPUs. One of them was hitting 40K+ on OS X. Sure they could give some tips.

Have you tried overclocking this? Might be difficult with all that RAM, but I bet those chips run at 4 Ghz pretty easily, probably even 10% higher. That should get your GeekBench scores up to 60K, I'd think.

In any case, this is a beautiful, purty, lovely build. Congrats!

(And it makes me think of the guy who posted his i7-2600K build and called it the fastest Hackintosh ever... hehe.)
 
@justruss - The SR-2 worked out of the box, as I remember. It was the 5520 chipset, where this is the new C606 chipset. I'm going to assume that's the reason. Maybe Lion hasn't been coded for the new chipset. Maybe 10.8 has, if Apple is planning on releasing this platform. (or something like that).

Could be. In the end it's just that; a benchmark. Real life work and application performance still depend on personal workflow and tasks at hand. So nice number crunching, 'tis all.

The best software EVER!!!!!!! Geekbench.

Just got 41,000 on win7 64bit. Holy smokes.
:headbang:

I agree with you. Some software poorly written on a ton of cores might be slower than properly coded software on a single core.

It's a pretty good way to see if the machine is working properly though, since it's the same software being compared on other machines. If a guy with a slower machine is getting higher numbers, something must be wrong. Someone I know is helping solve some issues.

looks like you're only running 8 cores in OSX based on your OSX GB score.

Are you using a DSDT?

There's a section in the DSDT that looks like this

Scope (_PR)
{
Processor (CPU0, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU2, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU3, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU4, 0x04, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU5, 0x05, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU6, 0x06, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU7, 0x07, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
}

Yours should probably go up to CPU15.
