Re: Magma Expressbox7 EB7 Which one? Gen I or II
Quote:
It is put together and in a rack at the moment, but it seems it is a standard ATX power supply? Curious what size repleacement Power supply would right for 7 HD PCIe cards, a 750Watt like this, or? Wondering the HD cards use more 12VDC or 3.3VDC, because it seems these larger repalcement supplies have less 3.3VDC Amperage than the original Magma 550Watt Supplies? I did a bunch of searching/googling, and could not find the current draw spec for the HD Core/Accel cards. A link to that data, at full load, would be great. Hoping someone has been thru these details. Thanks in advance!

I also replaced the stock fan with a BeQuiet! SilentWings and the difference was phenomenal. I hope this resolves your stability issues. What computer are you running? Enjoy your chassis - it's amazing how quickly you will take HD7 for granted. I am now running a HD2 alongside mine...

I see you are running OS X 10.9.5, which I presume you know is not supported Supported List, any issues other than the uninstall? I worry about all the 3rd party things, such as Native Instruments, Celemony/Melodyne, Universal Audio Quad, etc. . .

Re: Magma Expressbox7 EB7 Which one? Gen I or II
Ok, now running HD 7 in my Digidesign Express Box 7 chassis. I could not find a spec, but since all the power supplies I looked at (from 500W-1000w) all have about the same current rating @ 3.3VDC, I assumed the HD Cards draw most of their power from the 12VDC rail, like a PCIe Video card, so I upgraded the supply to this 850W power supply.
After that, worked last night for a couple hours, no problems. Came back today and Pro Tools crashed 3 time in a row on loading session, even after complete power cycles on everything. The 4th time was a charm. I did keep all the crash threads, but they are not readable to my inexperienced eye. Worked on a mix for an hour after that without any problems. . . Hope this is not going to be a continuous problem. Thoughts?

WHich version of Pro Tools are you running? I have recently upgraded to 10.3.10 but am finding it less stable compared to 10.3.8 so will be rolling back at the next opportunity.

Re: Magma Expressbox7 EB7 Which one? Gen I or II
I know this is like a year later and Avid has moved on however I can get an EB7 for a Native system I am considering also there will be external graphics cards involved. Is this still a good purchase. I will be running Ultimate at some point but Natively PCIe card. Is this possible?`

Re: Magma Expressbox7 EB7 Which one? Gen I or II
Not sure I understand the need for a chassis when all you want to put in it is a single HDN card?
