Update:
-- http://www.tonymacx86.com/golden-bu...7mx-d3h-i7-4770k-hd-4600-a-60.html#post649769Haswell seems to be less tolerant of older memory used in 6 & 7 series motherboards (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, respectively). Older memory, especially DDR3 1600 type, may result in system freezes if the BIOS parameter XMP is set to Profile1 as in previous Ivy Bridge motherboards. Be sure to use new memory on Gigabyte's list of supported memory, or newer memory that is Haswell ready/approved. The Corsair Vengeance LP memory used in this build is on Gigabyte's list. The motherboard recognizes the memory and it's respective DDR3 1600 parameters with the BIOS XMP parameter set to Default.

My build is in the signature. It's pretty similar to this setup and definitely comparable configuration wise. I'm using CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 as my RAM. It's not in the list of Gigabyte supported RAM that tonymacx86 originally posted, but I'm pretty sure it's fine with hackintoshes?
I was facing some random freezing before, often directly after inserting a usb flashdrive. Do you think this is the cause?
MKBHD used it in his build and it worked fine (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBsP89CPrMeOwWHwmD6FzkKIca-GjAD_f)... that was in early 2013 though.
Also, how do I set BIOS XMP to Default, I don't need to change something if I haven't messed with the BIOS settings yet, right?
