Greetings folks!
Afte being so busy with school and work, I can finally tend to my i7-3930k build that was not running properly. I just RMA'd the CPU and am running prime95 blend test with 95% of my avialable ram after turning off all thermal settings and adjusting overclock to a small 4ghz.
The specs:
GA-x79s-ud5-wifi
i7-3930k overclocked to 4ghz.
gtx 480 (will be replacing with gtx 970 or 980 next year)
32gb ram
1 x 512mb ssd for os drive
4 x 2tb for raid
1000w antec psu
my questions are as follows:
1. before I begin the journey, is it better to use mavericks instead of yosemite, given the current status of plugins, drivers, utilities, etc? my research suggest mavericks has more compatibility for all these things on both a real mac and a hackintosh. on the other hand, research suggests that yosmite is more friendly with 4k editing.
2. my next issue, after i decide which os to use, is to figure how to tackle the raid issue. for hardware raid, what are some ideal cards for video editing? also, i notice many of these cards support up to 8 drives but only have two sas connectors on them. how do i connect multiple sata drives to one sas port on a highpoint card?
