Compatibility Check - Asus X99 Deluxe II, 5930k, 780 Ti

Hi all, this is my first post! I passed the two quizzes with ease, but was surprised that there were no questions regarding forum rules ;P

 

Current setup:

Asus X99 Deluxe II
Intel 5930k
Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB DDR4 3200
Samsung EVO 850 Pro 512GB - Windows 10 Drive
Corsair HXi 1000​
 
My ultimate goal would to be able to dual boot into Windows or OS X depending on my needs. No overclocking, looking for stability (relative) here.

 

I currently have a second EVO 850 that I am hoping to load with OS X El Capitan 10.11.x. I would highly prefer 10.11.x, but would be willing to settle for Yosemite if the install became too difficult.

 

Worth noting: I have built computer all my life, I own a MacBook Pro, CSE student (2 semesters left) and am not afraid to dig into BIOS/kexts/EFI's, and I'm exited to be here :D

 

With that out of the way I have three questions:

  1. Is this dual boot set up compatible with 10.11.x?
  2. Is this dual boot set up compatible with 10.10.x?
  3. If yes to 1 or 2 --- would it be easier to install OSX+boot loader+misc with the SSD mounted to my MacBook over a SSD<->USB cable OR to do the generic install method over a USB loaded with the install and EFI partition?

Thanks for reading this, really. I've done a bunch of lurking, seen how far some people have gotten with X99 builds, but my inexperience with the subject matter has left me struggling to put together the fragmented and vague information I've found.

 

Thanks again :)

Hi FearJoy,

 

Yes to question 1 and 2, 3. 

 

The best thing is to get a SSD for each OS though. 

 

X99 usually gets aptio issues, but as long as you get over it, then it turns fine. 

 

you can install with a USB. 
 

join the chat, and we can help you there, or here if you want to. Easier on the chat though. 

 

Regards,
