Unable to start the Mojave installer - HUANANZHI X79-8D + Dual Xeon

Hi Guys, I've been at this for a few days now, and I haven't been able to get any further.

This is my 4th Hackintosh build, and I've literally never been so stuck. I'm pretty sure it's related to my motherboard...

Here's my hardware:

• HUANANZHI X79-8D
• Dual XEON E5-2680v2 CPUs
• 128 Gb of DDR3 Ram
• Radeon R580 (reusing from my previous Hackintosh, I know it's 100% compatible)

Here's what I've done so far:

1. I created a clover boot USB drive (tried my previously created stick with EUFI)
2. I re-created it with Legacy BIOS...
3. I tried disabling as much as I could in the BIOS.. all I could find was VT-d & serial port
4. I tried booting with a single stick of ram (but my system wouldn't post)

I start the boot process with -v

I'm able to resolve the "unsynchronized CPU" if I add cpus=1 or cpus=2

I don't get much further though.

I posted on tonyx86 forums... but no one has replied
