Quick introduction:
I had a great working hackintosh in the EVGA SR-2 with dual x5650's 2.66 GHz (32 nm, Westmere) OC's to 3.8 GHz for about 7 years. Finally the MB gave out and after reading these 2 threads I decided to jump in (instead of just buying the iMac Pro).
I have now a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7, i9 7920X, 360mm Artic AIO water cooler with 6 fans, 8 x 16GB of G.Skill 3200Mhz memory, Gigabyte TB3 AIC, multiple Nvidia Pascal cards (1080 and 1070 and some old 9800 GTX just in case) plus a 1 TB Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 and multiple other SSD's Samsung 850 Pro 1 TB and 840 Evo 1 TB...
Currently I am running Windows 10 Pro via Samsung 850 Pro SSD and I have not even formatted the 960 Pro M.2.
I will cross-post this also to the other X299 thread.
I know pete1959 has Aorus 9 and Vega and kgp has Asus and Nvidia Pascal card. Somehow I have to combine both threads to make a viable hackintosh.
From reading both treads I gather that the following participants have this HW configuration (if anything is incomplete or incorrect, please let me know).

I am trying to get a complete list, so anyone with a certain combination of HW can ask the right people how they got their rig working.
I am at the very beginning as I couldn't even make a bootable USB key with the High Sierra GM beta (17A362a). I know I downloaded the whole 5.17 GB install file (and it installed correctly on my iMac) but I already stumbled and get the "macOS does not appear to be a valid OS installer application" despite the fact that I can see the "createinstallmedia" file in Contents/Resources. I probably have to just wait a couple days for the actual GM.
One thing I tried was to OC and the Gigabyte (just like the Asus) lets you OC all cores (in my case all 12 of them) at the same time (I can get 4.4 to 4.6 GHz out of my setup).
