I wish you would have asked before I got my Kill-A-Watt... I've drastically changed how long I keep my computers on since I got it. But, I think the longest I ever kept a single Mac up was about 10 months. That was back in the PowerPC days. Now, with all the updates to OS X, I don't think my uptime goes much beyond 2-3 months.
If it's any consolation my hack was built to be power efficient since here in Germany I probably pay twice what you do even in NYC. The Hack is connected to a 30" ACD and that thing uses more power than the computer does I think

AH! 20 Days! My machine isn't usually up for more than a few days. I recently "fixed" sleep on my X99 hack, but there's still a nasty audio bug that results in a restart here and there. Before, I would shut down every time I was done with the machine. Usually only a 6~ hour uptime unless it's a weekend...
I figured this is the only uptime battle I could win..there are updates everyday for my Linux box it rarely gets more than a week of uptime

Yes. One of the major reasons why I will be building a hackintosh in the very near future is because of the inefficiencies of my Mac Pro 5,1.
When I built my NAS, I went with a CPU that has a TDP of 14W.

Are iOS devices allowed?

Just 8 days, here. Rebooted after a reoccurring kp that I can't quite figure out.
I have tried to use this script as you suggested. It has come back with this
"File: audio_cloverHDMI-110.command_v0.22 - BETA
Release Mode
EFI partition is mounted
Error: no IOReg/HDEF; BIOS/audio/disabled or ACPI problem
Continue without HDEF/onboard audio (y/n):"
I pressed "y" to go ahead with the script and then gave me this bellow.
"No audio codec detected
No system files were changed
To save a Copy of this Terminal session: Terminal/Shell/Export Text As ...
logout
Saving session...

...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

[Process completed]"
I'm not sure what it means by "no IOReg/HDEF; BIOS/audio/disabled or ACPI problem"
Maybe this is a better description of my problem if anyone can help?
On Skylake motherboards, the audio device is called "HDAS" instead of "HDEF". You'll need to rename the audio device in your DSDT, which can be done with a simple Clover patch. Have a look at the audio chapter of this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/
Some motherboards like mine have the Creative Soundblaster series that are not well supported.
CA0132? It works with AppleALC (there are edited versions in the thread as well). AppleALC is fairly simple to get working, just inject the kext (from the ESP) & inject the layout ID.
Did the creative thing change with skylake? I have creative sound on my 1150 and I can't break it
This is the thread for my mobo. It's tricky, some people have no volume control, some updates break the patches, people are using either patched AppleHDA or VoodooHDA. It's a big hassle for now.

Spent yesterday prepping the case for my skylake build. Used the kit from laser hive.
What kind of CPU cooler are you using?

[doublepost=1466431161][/doublepost]Is it possible to overclock a GPU in OS X? If so, how? If not, is it possible to overclock a GPU in Linux and flash the BIOS so the overclocking will work in OS X?
I just built myself a PC with hopes of doing a hackintosh in the future once Nvidia releases GTX 1080 drivers. I used a Core i7 6700k with the cooler master 212 evo cooler. If you want an overclocked video card you are better off just buying an aftermarket card that comes overclocked out of the box.
I have a pretty standard Arctic cooler.
I haven't seen a GPU OC utility on a Mac for years. We don't even know if Nvidia GPU Boost exists on OSX. On a PC it's version 3.0 now. What version is it in the Mac web driver?
typing this on my new pm g5 skylake i5! Screen shots and more info to follow once I get done testing it a bit more.
