Kaby Lake Xeon?
Hi! I was thinking about building a system with Kaby Lake E3-1285 v6 CPU. Will that work fine? Can't find any mentions.
I saw some mentions that newer Xeon chips are not always supported, but that was about "real" xeons, not desktop-xeons like this one. Right?

I'd stick to processors which have proven to be working. Buying hardware for a hackintosh is always a risk so your safest bet is to stick to proven hardware.
It's pretty much the same as gaming Kaby Lake. Except for ECC RAM support which I consider useful. So I feel like I'm on the safe side.
Asking here exactly to figure out if they're "proven to be working" :)
This CPU should be fine AFAIK
Does anyone know what has happened to this CPU? It doesn't seem to be available anywhere, and I can't find any mention of why it has "disappeared"...
You're absolutely correct!
