Guys I have a Xeon 2698 V4 (ES) 20 cores / 40 threads and I managed to install 10.12. My motherboard is the asrock x99e-itx/ac. Everything working except audio for now but the problem is that I have very low benchmark scores. I attach my geekbench , cinebench scores and my config.plist. The scores are on par with my 4.5GHZ overclocked 5960x which is too low for a 20 core cpu. :( Can anyone help me?

Yes, I and get the same scores. Also cinebench is very low as you can see on the screenshot not only geekbench.
 
Have you tried disabling Hyper Threading - Some of us here are getting better results with HT off, but we are using dual processors. There are also times, depending on BIOS version and CPU where Turbo and EIST should be disabled and that you should set the CPU to be stepped and turbo'd as needed via the OS.

Yes I tried with hyperthreading off and the scores are even lower than hyperthreading on. Is it something in clover configuration that can affect cpu performance?
 
Can you share your expert contacts? I am having big problems installing mac on similar 32 thread build.

Not a lot of advice can be given with so little information from you

Did you do anything special to run two graphics cards?

No, I had issues with the Quadro 4000 but otherwise two screens, two discreet cards and everything worked great until 10.12.3 so that really screwed my build and Apple blocked my Hack so it's now running a different OS
