Here is the barebones system: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=SY-847R7FT ( Supermicro SuperServer SYS-8047R-7RFT+ Quad LGA2011 1400W 4U Rackmount/Tower Server Barebone System ). Among other things, each of my two Supermicro SuperServer SYS-8047R-7RFTs currently has 4xE5-4650s V.1...

10.9.2 runs 32 cores, but no more [ https://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/558552 ]. I haven't taken the time to get power management running; that why score is so low.

The Supermicro DAX motherboards are the ones that are overclockable to the safe maximum limit (x1.0755% in the case of the Sandy/Ivy bridge DAX motherboards and x1.05% for the Haswell DAX motherboard) for post-Westmere Xeons. Other post-Westmere Supermicro motherboards can't be over-clocked...

I have not tried OSX 10.10 yet. Mavericks recognizes the full 128Gs that I've installed. Not sure whether any greater amount of ram would work.

Update - Yes [ http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/558552 ].

Eureka! It's Gardena.

Nope. Moreover, that wouldn't have yielded a better Hackintosh score because there's a thread cap in OS X. My CPUs are quad E5-4650 V1s, stepping C1 (clocked exactly like E5-2680 V1s {2.7 GHz base and 3.5 GHz max turbo} and clocked a little higher than the fastest E7-4800 V2, including the >$6K...

Is this [ http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/558552 ] what you're talking about?

skyyxy - Not that particular 4 CPU system yet.

You make good points.

That motherboard can take advantage of faster ram : DDR3 2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory [ http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_2011/Z9PED8_WS/#specifications ]. I have that mobo and those chips. In bios, you can force it to run at...

Thanks for those references.

What motherboard do you have and how did you enable "Generation 1 support"?

Sure - as soon as I get my replacement Z9PE-D8 WS and get it set up.

Edited my post, above, to cover some other options.

Macs are now more than ever PCs. Apple has gone the extra mile to ensure that you can run Mac OSX and Windows on the same machine, i.e., they've gone a long way toward choosing hardware that works in both environments. To build a Hack is to first build a PC. To build the fastest Hack, build...

Creating animations with mainly Cinema 4d, Anime Pro and Photoshop; programming games/presentations with Unity3D, and editing video with Final Cut Pro and Logic Audio. I moderate a thread that covers that subject in depth: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1333421 .

Paradigm99, Congratulations. Great job. You're very industrious.

Speedstep is aka EIST. Manual page 4-8 says its under Power Technology under CPU Power Management Configuration under CPU Configuration (Make sure hype-threading is Enabled) under the Advanced Menu. So is Turbo mode (Enable it), P (HW_All) and C-states (Enable for C3, C6 and C7 and set Package...

Justruss, I don't believe that the motherboard he's using allows for any overclocking. However, even if it did, the current E5s are locked down in every way possible, unlike the Nehalems and Westmeres. The best that you can do, even if the motherboard supports overclocking, is to push the BCLK...
