The smart compromise is not to get the fastest 130W X5690 xeons, (they are also much more expensive) but slightly lower clocked ones, like for example 95W X5675, they should be much quieter. A lot of useful info here: Tons of memory are of course good for disk cache. Especially if you use network shares and sound for picture. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads...-list.1954766/ https://forums.macrumors.com/threads...ssion.2099092/ |

With 2910 having 384 track one would need the MOST CPU juice possible, but I am in the SFV and it does get EXTREMELY hot out here and my studio gets even hotter and the Mac gets even MORE hotter. I ordered a RX 580 and should get that in a few days and want to see how much that helps and had planned on upgrading my 2.4 to the 3.46 with 6 x 8GB ram @ 1333GHZ. But from what you're also saying that might not be the best and go just one step lower on the chips? BTW I modified a 1,400 BTU dual AC unit (made for a 500 sq' room) to pump cold AC into a partial enclosure of about 9 sq' where the cheesegrater resides.

Re: 2019.5 Ultimate on a Mac Pro 5,1
Yeah, the cooling system was not designed for dual 130 WATT processors, for sure.
But your Mac has single cpu socket only? If so, I'd go for the more powerful cpu. The single heatsink is bigger, and you only have 130W to dissipate (as compared to 260W when dual cpu's are used) On 5,1 (i have modified 4,1) is easier to install, chips are cheaper because you do not have to de-lid, and you can always exchange for the lower, even cheaper chip if you find the heat/noise too much. This should buy you some headroom. There is significant difference with cpu headroom between a 2,4 ghz cpu and 3,46-3,70 (turbo speed) one. re: 2019.5, i found it much better cpu-wise than 2018.12, under Sierra 10.12.6. I was already pretty happy with 2018.12, but now it seems as finally some optimizations have been done on a very old engine of PT. I can now use very low buffers for playback and it does not affect cpu consumption much. Pretty weird actually ;-) So i can recommend that config. My GPU is RX 560, as i did not need more powerful 580 (which again, has more TDP than 560 (its about 75W vs 150W) - so, more heat, again) and it's super smooth on both Sierra and Mojave. So you may consider that. The main difference for us sound people is that with 560 you can use only 3 monitors vs more with 580 (is it 5? 6? ) Quote:

I found the main culprit which I have no idea how I am going to get around other than hoping the RX 580 will address, of not then going to a CPU with 3.46 and 6 x 8GB ram sticks (already found someone in LA who installs the CPU WAY cheaper than OWC, of course with a trade in of mine)... It's INSIGHT 2 (5.1) plug-in The moment I took it off one of my monitors (still have the plug active though) I stopped getting the -9173. This is a HUGE conundrum, since of course I need that running for levels and specs and if I freeze the tracks that have the most pugs, I won't be able to play with levels So while 2018.12 was solid with this on the lower right screen minimized enough to just see the levels and #s. but I haven't not merged my Foley, Music, ADR sessions which would put me higher than 256 voices, which is the reason I even bothered getting the reinstatement plan easier this year when I heard about the extra 128 tracks announced at NAMM. All that wait, fixes, coding, etc to give us 384 only to find out it can't be efficiently utilized. I have the RX coming arriving in a few days. So will run the session for a whole day on it to see how much if any difference it makes: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-amd...EozZGxz70Wmlh8

Re: 2019.5 Ultimate on a Mac Pro 5,1
Oh yeah, had that on trial when it came out, it was _sluggish_ indeed. Now that you mention it, i remember having cpu errors with it on.
I forgot about it quick, imho it's not worth it. If you want a lufs meter, youlean loudness meter is great, cheap and does the work and has some nice extras, and a very cultured developer who responds to emails frequently ( i found couple issues myself and they were fixed very fast)

am considering this graphics card and 2 into 1 power connector (bottom under Frequently bought together)) https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-05-20G-Backplate-Graphics-Graphic/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8 and since I have an late 2010 Apple Cinema Display I am getting the adaptor connector also in the Frequently bought together.... Couple quick questions As per my system below I have the original Apple stock Graphics card in the bottom slot (#1) then the Avid HD Native PCIe card in the next slot up #2 then the Samsung SSD PCIe in #3 So will the Sapphire 580 fit in the bottom #1 slot ? And I have read there will be no Apple logo boot up screen with the 580 is that correct ? Also I do some occasional video editing in Apple Final Cut Pro X and currently with the stock graphics card and storing the files on the original spinner Hard drive disk the rendering can at times be a bit slow. Do you know if the 580 will speed things up ? and or would I have to upgrade the HDD with an SSD into the HDD bay to notice any significant improvement in render time ?
