Dual Xeon E5-2670
Hi everyone .

I decided to build hackintosh as a main project, it will have dual boot if works, macOS sierra with Win7Pro or Win10Pro. My main idea was from this article: Building a 32-Thread Xeon Monster PC for Less Than the Price of a Flagship Core i7.
Hope you will help with any issues.... :)

Parts, some of them I already have it because I am upgrading my 2004 build.

Parts that I did not have to buy:
3 Blu-Ray Drives (LG, ASUS and Samsung)
1 SSD 240GB
2 1TB Hard Drives
3 500GB Hard Drives
LG LED Monitor
Mouse and Keyboard

New PC works perfectly with windows 10,I know it is powerful. My purpose was and still is to put macOS Sierra but I don't have enough time to play with that, ambition was huge but I am busy at work . It didnt cost me a lot . I will come back to my project as soon as I can.
 
I am interested in building a similar computer with the same dual 8-core xeon CPU's.
What is your geekbench score?
Should about the same as my dual x5670 12-core computer which was a score of 22,000+

On the install USB stick in /EFI/Clover/kexts you need to use the appropriate VoodooTSCsync.kext for your 8-core cpu's
Only on the install USB stick.

What graphics card are you using?

For Nvidia:
Do you have "inject Nvidia" and "nv_disable=1" selected in your install USB stick /EFI/Clover/config.plist

Here is what you should see:

My Graphic card is Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 1GB Video Card - planning to upgrade it if I manage installation

I tried with VoodooTSCsync.kext for 8 core cpu last night, but still didn't get it working. Maybe it is because I have a different motherboard. I couldn't change some of the BIOS settings from your link and suspecting if it could be a problem. Do you know what exactly I should change on ASRock EPC602-4L/D12 BIOS?
Not sure if it is a problem, I played so many times with USB boot creation and last night I created my USB boot using UniBeast. I can try to create it through terminal as you have it in your case. Then I customized it to
- Bootloader
- Install boot0af in MBR
- CloverEFI
- CloverEFI 64-bits SATA
and added these files to the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12 folder on my USB
- AHCIPortInjector_v1.0.0_Micky1979.kext
- FakeSMC_v6.16.1372_netkas.kext
- IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector_v1.0.0_Micky1979.kext
- NullCPUPowerManagement_v1.0.0d2_tgwbd.kext
screenshot is below.

I think I also missed "inject Nvidia" in config.plist
I will try again today and document every step
 
Download my Install config and files I used for install below. Should work for your computer.
See Link. Read the "read me file"
https://www.dropbox...._Files.zip?dl=0

Use my modified "EFI" folder contents in the .zip file for "install USB"
You missed some files.
