Wow, when I bought them they had a lot of 5* reviews. I have money to burn but this sucks... Still good ram though... just won't use them in a hackintosh.

I can get 2133 on a set of corsair vengeance and the following will explain why. I talked to a corsair technician back in late October when I was purchasing my 64 Gig kit. He informed me that the IC came from the same bins as the vengeance and that they were not sorting out the high bin versions but just using the same. This was the start of the issues that they had. He went on to tell me how many users including reviewer were reporting limited or no OC ability. The reason was because corsair was being cheap but perhaps they are now properly binning the chips and have addressed this issue. But I know that the kits they pulled will never be back on the market.
Also what are your timings at?

The PSU failed real world testing and does not perform as designed. Not the worst PSU but when put into testing to see what the outputs really are the voltages range all over. Not a stable power feed.
As for the platinum ram Corsair has admitted that it is a failed product and removed 40% of the models offered and canceled any future plans for it. They just do not under clock or over clock as corsair said they would prior to release. Waste of money.

It appears that you threw a lot of money away with your current system. Corsair Platinum by corsairs own admission is a failure and has worst OC ability then the Corsair Vengeance Series. Also Rosewill PSU are a waste of money due to poor efficiency when tested in the real world.
I bought the PSU mainly to save cash at the time and honestly never had an issue at all, have a 9.2 on the windows rating system which is worthless to be honest.
I actually wanted a better PSU at the time but kind of went with price over performance and I wasn't working at the time either.
Have you had issues with rosewill or dominator platinum? I've personally had none, they do have a 5 star rating on newegg which I always read reviews before I buy.
But since I'm buying a second GTX680 and going to a new motherboard and cpu I will be buying more efficient ram and a power supply but that's way after I either A build the hackintosh pro or buy the 2013 if it ever comes out mac pro.

What is your main PC? Sounds like you might already have a killer machine...
Intel core i7 3820 quad core sandy bridge e
64 GB 1600MHZ DDR3 Corsair Dominator Platinum
Cooler Master Cosmos II case (love it, very easy to work with... just don't have the space for two of them...)
Nvidia GTX 680 (reference model as I bought it on launch...very hard to get at the time)
Rosewill Lightning 1000W Modular Power Supply ( not a huge fan as it's a pain adding on to especially in a tight space...)
And I have Windows 8 loaded onto it (it's nice, just add start8 and forget about metro, never cared for aero to be honest...)
I technically want to build the same machine but with compatible parts and thanks for the list of suggestions, except I will be going with xeon instead of a core i7.
I will wait until the specs of the 2013 mac pro are released, if I like them I will just buy from apple like I usually do as the price point won't differ that much and actually may save some money and spend on a better sound card.
Last mac pro I bought was a G5 and is maxed out at this point, I do want the new imac but may just buy it as a monitor though.
