Hello All, just posting my latest Hack Mac Pro because I'm very impressed with its performance! This thing is screaming fast and Everything is working at 100% stable in both 10.8.5 and 10.9! This was a quick build and install because my client was working on a short timeline, excuse for the bad pictures. 
Specs:
Intel i7-3820 running at 4.7GHz(131 Blck X 36 Ratio)
Asus P9X79 LE X79 Motherboard
64GBs of Crucial Ballistix Memory DDR3-1600
Corsair Hydro H80i CPU Cooler
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD Drive
Toshiba 2TB Storage Drive
3 Port PCI-E Firewire Card
TPLink Wireless N PCI-E Adapter
EVGA GTX 760 2GB with ACX Cooling
XFX 750 Watt Modular Power Supply
Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid-Tower Case
A few pictures of the internals taken with my Cell phone:sad:
This is one of the fastest Quad core CustoMacs I have built and Everything works...USB 3.0, E-SATA, Sleep, Wifi and definitely speed!
I do have one small issue with this set up. The memory is set at 1600 Mhz in BIOS but in both Windows and OS X it runs at 1333. Does anyone know what could cause this?
Is it because I'm using the full 64GBs?
Edit:
The Corsair H80i in push pull is running this chip 40 Degrees idle and 63 under full load! That's at 4.7GHz and 1.38 volts....I think I won the lottery!
