Default Re: Digi 003+ is making my computer really hot! Kernal_task is using all my CPU

Same situation here I think. Can just be on desktop with no programs open, a few seconds after turning 003 on I get the kernel_task jump (usually about 80%). When I open Pro Tools, kernel_task is still at about 80% and PT itself about 180% making it pretty much impossible to do anything.

Tried different cables, a firewire express card (which meant a regular 400 to 400 FW cable instead of 800 to 400), a clean install of mavericks with only Pro Tools installed, different versions of 11, different 003 drivers. Nothing has helped.

Been trying to solve this for months and never seen Avid make a comment on it or reply to anyone so not too hopeful that it'll be addressed in a driver update.

Macbook Pro 17", 16GB Ram, 500GB SSD/ 750GB HD (late 2011)
003 Rack (driver 11.1.2)
Pro Tools 11.2.1
