Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Just stay Nvidia, you will be fine. 1030, 1050,1650, etc.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

You have something going on. I hit over 140 tracks with the P2 test on them.

The results you are seeing on the dverb test are the opposite of what you think. When it starts dumping down like...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Hey Guy, be sure to specify those are Dverb test numbers so everyone understands what you are talking about. Also specify which Pro Tools version. It also helps to do a test at 64 HW Buffer and 1024....

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

There is nothing adjusted for what you mention. Have no worry's, your system is more powerful than an overwhelming majority. The memory cache, just set it to 5-6 GB, that should be more than enough...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The 8700k is insanely impressive for the price. 95% of people would never need to attempt to overclock this processor. I can break over a 1000 dverbs on the dverb test at stock speeds. That is almost...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

DDR4 has doubled in price the last year and half. In last 3-4 months it has spiked 30% or better.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

As Daniel pointed out, you are creating the problem. Turning up 24db of any frequency on any signal that is live or playing back is going to show it as having issues. But its not reality of what is...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Test it with the onboard the same way you test it with an interface. You cant just assume its the computer itself creating the issue. You have to eliminate all possibilities first, which includes...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The first 2 things to try are to remove all peripherals. So remove any USB cables, firewire, ethernet, etc. Just test with the onboard audio via headphones. This is far more common source of noise...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The errors you speak of are either plugin based which typically affect both platforms or they are system configuration issues. (Not saying this to be rude) There is more than just putting the system...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The case is about the cheapest part of building a system in many cases (pun intended). Pull your audio, sample, and backup drives out, maybe the CD drive and set the old system on the curb, list it...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Why would you just update the motherboard?? That will do pretty much nothing without updating the CPU, ram, etc.

The chances are very slim to do what you are wanting. Considering it is from the...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Probably SSD. Their prices have been level. The M.2 will likely continue to go down some. I picked up a couple Intel M.2's recently on sale really cheap. They are smaller capacity though. Leads me to...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Crucial. I have used them on some of random systems around the house that I want cheap drives for and they have been fine.

Honestly, The gained bandwidth from an HHD to an SSD is plenty. In my...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

As of a couple weeks ago, I believe every Avid supported HP machine has been discontinued or updated/changed. They are only available on the used market.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

My issues have been with low buffer settings to track. 12.4 definitely performs better here IME. 12.5 is great when I bump the buffer up to mix. Then of the fact we cant use the click in 12.5 is...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The 6800k / 6850k will put you right there with it. It really depends on what you want to spend. Most users doing music, that is plenty. But ultimately, I have no idea what your experience or needs...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

For most users, the CPU lanes wont matter. Your peripherals are connecting to the Southbrige (PCH) which makes CPU lanes less important. Unless you are using a PCIe interface or a Thunderbolt...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

You should just go the manufactures site to get difference between all the boards. But the early A's did not support USB 3.1, that was an update and also added a USB C connector. Every manufacturer...

The 4xxx E5 v4's which are the high end ones released (http://ark.intel.com/products/family/91287/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-v4-Family#@Server) at the same time as the E series. These are the ones I was...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Hey,
You would have to look into the "tick tock" method I mentioned earlier to understand the development cycles to understand the i7 development cycles better. So for the 6xxx series, the current...
