Ckane Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well I just finished up my hackintosh like last week sometime now I am looking for my next build... Right now I my build is this..... Cooler Master 690 II advanced Cooler Master Seidon 120M Asus P8z77 M Pro Intel® Core™ i7-3770K Corsair CX 600 Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM (16GB total) ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2O-2GD5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5 SanDisk Extreme 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Seagate Barracuda (ST500DM002) SATA3 6.0Gb/s 500GB 16MB Cache TP Link TL-WDN4800 Apparently when I was given these parts it was the perfect build but that was back in December what would be the perfect build for the closest thing to the 12 core Mac Pro and the 27-inch iMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ckane Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Could you suggest the parts to use to get as close as possible to the 12 core mac pro and the 27-inch iMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALDY_MAN Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 the parts you have will make a very fast hackintosh. and faster than a 27 inch imac and perhaps as fast as a 2010 mac pro if you want. duel cpu motherboard you can beat a 12 core mac the question is how fast can you afford to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Could you suggest the parts to use to get as close as possible to the 12 core mac pro and the 27-inch iMac Any LGA 2011 motherboard paired with a Sandy-E six-core CPU will match the Nehalem/Westmere 12-core Mac Pro's performance. The downside is the lack of native power management, but i wouldn't call it a deal breaker. If you can spend a lot - and yet it would be cheaper then a real 12-core mac pro - you could go with an EVGA SR-2 motherboard, a pair of compatible Xeon CPUs and a lot of time reading this: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1333421. The resulting machine would be 50-100% faster than any Apple Mac made to date, and would have all power management features, since it would use a supported architecture. All the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If you need raw power then x79 or the SR-2 with proper CPUs is the way to go. But keep in mind on the SR-2 onboard lan and audio does not work so you will have to buy a NIC and a usb sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
