Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Yes. But my current rig is not giving me the power i need to run my VI’s like Hive, Dune2, Modo, etc smooth in realtime. Too many buffer size and ran out of power messages is killing my workflow. I need to work fast, with low latency and in realtime as I’m trying dfferent sounds and ideas during recording and arranging.
However I would much rather get a new compressor or mic than a computer that will be obsolete again in a few years. |

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Just a short update. I've had my new i9-7940X rig for some days now. It's too early to say but it seems to work ok so far.
I running Pro Tools Ultimate 2018.10. Device is HD Omni together with the HD Native PCIe card. 32GB ram, 2 x M.2 SSDs and 2 x SSDs. All samsung 970 evo and 960 evo series. VI's : Battery4, Dune2, Nexus2, Sylenth1, Hive, Hybrid, Spire, Strike, Trilian, Pianoteq6, AmpleSound PBass, SampleTank3, Modo, Xpand2, NI (Rickenbacker, PBass, JBass, DrumLab, Strummed Acoustic, Sunburst, AliciasKeys, 80Kit), Korg (M1, Wavestation, Polysix) But I'm not impessed with the speed of my new rig compared to my old i7-970 rig with only 12GB ram. I was expecting a much faster and more responsive system. I work at 96KHz. There is no chance of being able to work at 64 samples with live VIs. Can't even playback a second befor I get ran out of CPU messages. Also struggling with 128 and 256. 512 seems to work fine. I was expecting much more for a $3700 dollar DIY PC rig. |

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Hi. Still not impressed with the speed of my rig. That said, it’s more powerfull than my old rig for shure. Same sessions that with old rig showed about 30-40% cpu usage now show around 15-20% usage on new rig at half the hardware buffer size. Befor i had to use minimum a hbs of atleast 1024 samples at 96k. Now i can use a hbs of 512 samples @ 96k.
I was hoping to be able to work with hbf of 64 or 128 but no chance. 512 seems to be the minimum. Any less than that i start getting messages to increase hbs. |

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Thanks for the update Chris.
Have you plans to try changing the set up (BIOS or such) to get the results you were aiming for?

Not yet. I don't have any fancy water cooling so I'm a bit cautious about overclocking. But I'll let you know. |

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Hmmmm... Have you tried killing all uneccessary startup processes? Maybe there's something running that is robbing power?
