Default Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Hello Guys! Just completed a new build and thought I would share.
I7 6850K hexcore
Gigabyte GA X99P-SLI
32g ballistix ram
600w EVGA ps
2 Intel ssd NVMe M.2, primary system and secondary audio
Samsung ssd samples/general storage
GEForce GTX 950 graphics card
Win 10 64
Pro Tools 12.7
Antelope Orion 32+ interface
Running with Avid Artist control & mix Ethernet controllers.
Performed recommended optimizations from Avid and Antelope audio.

Old system about 8+ years old, i7 960 on x58 12g ram PT 11.3
Last session on old system 75 tracks, approx. 110plugs and system cpu hovering around 65% total cpu usage. Would experience a rare hiccup or error. Compared to PT 11.0 which I would get frequent errors and/or system restarts. Some people have conspiracy theory pt11.3 had intentional bugs to get people to upgrade to 12 but I never experienced them. Really impressed with PT12.7 though, individual track input button, VCA's, many mores..
Same session on new system w/ PT 12.7, total system cpu usage hovering around 20% So far so good, no errors or hiccups. Integrated seamlessly with my previous sessions.
