Hello, the USB 3.1 works in your motherboard?

Nope(

Half of that would easily be sufficient for your build

Ive got a ton of 4 & 8TB drives that one day I'll probably stick in... once all the SATA stuff works...!

Still, what would need that much power are multiple high-end videocards.
Drives will never need that much power.

Your rig, your choice though.

Hi, did you manage to get HDMI audio to work? Headphones and line out works, just not through HDMI and my Dell U3415W has quite OK built-in speakers that I would like to keep using..

I don't really need that, so I didn't even try.

I am going to switch to DisplayPort since 3440x1440 via HDMI seems to be limited to 30Hz on MacOSX (no HDMI 2.0 support?). I will report back if I can get audio over DP 1.2 to work for those that might be interested.

Have Ultrawide LG Monitor at 3440x1440 over DP, works great. Hope Clover will support this resolution sometimes...

Yes, 3440x1440@60Hz via DP, but unfortunately no audio throughput on Dell u3415w..
The stretched apple logo during boot is indeed quite annoying, isn't it
