Re: Re-reminded that BIOS optimizations are critical
Biker
I looked at your profile. Your system is 'similar' to mine. Did you do the BIOS changes - C-states and Speedstep OFF are both critical for 24/96 at 64 buffer. I would recommend trying (1) unplug ALL USB devices except the interface, mouse and keyboard and plug in the interface to a port on the back of the machine, mouse and keys on the front ports - definitely no USB hubs; (2) disable all onboard devices that you can in BIOS (you might need the network card for licences); (3) unplug the video card and run off the 8700K (maybe driver/card problem - I have a 950); (4) if your motherboard has a HPET turn it OFF in BIOS; (5) disconnect (unplug) from all networks (my DAW partition never sees the network - use dual boot); (6) disable all security software including WIN 10 built in stuff (not on the Net, so don't need it); There's a few ideas. Post more info about your system and I'll think about it some more. BTW, do you have spikes even when you have nothing monitor or record enabled ? - if so that's really weird, I would bet on a hardware problem. Free advice, standard disclaimers. Hopes this helps. E |

Re: Re-reminded that BIOS optimizations are critical
Hi .
I have a similar system (Cpu overclocked to 4.69 and MB) as you and was curious about the set Affinity tip so I tried it as you outlined and did not notice much if any difference when running at 512 buffers . Then I decided to exclude core no 6 ( the one that shows most usage in CPU Meter ) manually via Task Manager and lo and behold much less spikes in CPU as in momentarily hitting 100% before and max 56% after. I would love to know why this should be so any insights would be most welcome. Cheers |
