x99 Motherboard Compatability

[SlentThndr]

Are there any Mini-ITX x99 motherboards that work well for hackintosh?

This ASRock specimen is the best example I can find:

Has anyone successfully used this or any other mini-ITX x99 board?

I have to ask - why would you consider an X99 in ITX?

Here for example. As far as i know there are no other mini-tx x99 boards.

Thanks Tom! Kiiroaka, I'm trying to build a portable music editing and performance workstation. The software I use (ableton) is super CPU intensive when I have all of my instruments running at once.

When I think "X99" I think Xeon CPU and 128GB of ECC RAM. When I see an X99 ITX mobo that costs $300 I wonder what one is willing to spend for the CPU and RAM. What I do know is that I can't afford an X99 system. (But I probably can afford a Mac Pro 5,1 with its dual XEONs.)

Then there is the ASR EPC612d4i: https://www.servethehome.com/asrock-rack-epc612d4i-review-mitx-xeon-e5-platform/ It can do quad channel with SO-DIMMs and 32GB of SO-DIMM DDR2133 should cost about the same as desktop DDR2133, currently about $200.
