Re: Modern motherboard for original PCI HD Core and Process cards
Hi, Ron
Thanks for posting all the details -- very helpful. I've been studying, and waiting, but now it seems time to grab one of these older boards before they all disappear. SandyBridge looks like a non-starter. Just wondering if you had any issues with the heatsink behind the PCI slots when inserting your cards. Any "plastic surgery" required? Thanks, Ray |

I did not take any pictures of the install but will crack the case open and snap some and post it here when I go back to the studio. Won't be back there until this weekend My engineers/producers are very happy now and everyone wants to play with NI Maschine becuase of how snappy the samples load. Protools loads 8x faster as well and you can really feel the responsiveness in the system now. No problems in Logic or Nuendo either. I hear that the ASUS board works very well too but it does not have the TI firewire chipset which is recomended for DAWs. I am still happy I was able to help the community in search of a Sandybridge board but this setup is Super as well and I am pissed I did not go this route when I last visited the upgrade path over a year ago. |

I think they are not here yet because they are not for the "enthusiast" crowd. The Z86 was a ghost when this article was written two month ago, and now they are here. "Sometime in May" is what this article says. Okay, so it's June already ... http://motherboardnews.com/2011/04/0...1155-chipsets/ I was getting ready to go with a 1156 socket, 1st gen i7, but was encouraged to wait a few weeks by someone smarter than me.

Re: Modern motherboard for original PCI HD Core and Process cards
Any updates?
It looks like gigabyte has the first b65 board out... http://semiaccurate.com/2011/01/20/g...t-motherboard/ And it is said to have native pci in that article. Also it looks like no dremeling would be necessary. Anyone try it yet? Also it looks like the 2600k is the best 1155 chip? |

Re: Modern motherboard for original PCI HD Core and Process cards
I thought it only fair that I post back here. I picked up my new PC a week ago, and although I'm only just starting to get it set up and configured, so far all is going well. (And PT works! Yay.)
Here's what I ended up with: Gigabyte GA-H55-USB3 Intel Core i7 870 WD Caviar Black 500GB Antec TP-750 Truepower New PSU ASUS EAH5450 Radeon Silent 1 GB G.Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1333MHz (8GB) Antec P193 V3 Enclosure I selected components based on what works with PT and noise levels. Overall, it's very quiet, just a gentle "whoosh". The ASUS video card is fanless, and the other components are well regarded for quiet operation. The noisiest thing is the stock cooler on the CPU, which I will probably replace at some point. I booted my MDD G4 "Blowhole" to check plugin listings, and can't believe how LOUD that is! Ray |

Re: Modern motherboard for original PCI HD Core and Process cards
Ron, which revision of the motherboard did you get that works? 1.0 or 2.0
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...aspx?pid=3442# So far this Gigabyte board seems like the best option with 2 successful reports in this thread. I am very tempted to upgrade my 8 year old workhorse and get on PT9 and Win 7 with my original HD PCI cards. Ron do you have a dual monitor option? I tried to find this online and it is difficult. Most hits are for the mini-ATX or other form factor version. Where did you guys find success buying this motherboard brand new? |
