Intel Motherboard

[BlueHorse]

I was wondering why there's no Intel MotherBoard on the Hackintosh scene? I'm looking to build an Hackintosh with this board and pross.

Intel Desktop Board DX79SI

Intel Core i7-3960X Processor Extreme Edition
(15M Cache, 3.30 GHz)
http://ark.intel.com/products/63696/Int ... _30-GHz%29

Is this something possible?

I'm a total newbee !

I would stick with a Z68 Gigabyte board and Sandy bridge CPU since this is your first time on the block.

Intel Core i7-3960X Processor is not fully supported yet even though others on here have tried it but stability is a problem, CPU is not recognized, Geekbench scores are low, system performance not quite there fully.

So go with my recommendation above.

I have same set up, I was building Win7 system and recently decided to install Lion.
Instalation went pretty well, but when I'm booting from hdd Lion system performs so slow and resolution is low too. I tried loading multi beast and configure but after I get kernel panic
