Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Quote:
CPU - I have dabbled with OC and I'm probably sticking with my current 300Mhz all core OC (so x52 P-cores and x4 E-cores on High/Ultimate Performance / when PT is running). I have an undervolt curve which has been refined (some instability on low clocks / when PT is not running but I think I found the settings now). Note, I do get some thermal throttling (Noctua air cooling) with 100% all core load, but that only happens in synthtetic benchmarks and in very "wide" session offline bounces, not a problem. I don't really need the OC, but in some of my small track count/high processing 96k sessions the offline bounce is still very much single-core bound, wanted to shave some time off of that. Other tuning and the Avid guide - I just switched scheduling to background processes and that's pretty much it (as well as the common sense ones like drivers). Hibernate is on (not used though, I could turn it off I gues), C-States are on, Hyperthreading is on. Pro Tools turns High Performance power on automatically btw. Note - as far as latency etc issues, I'm on HDX so maybe slightly less sensitive to some of them. Hope this helps.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
What would be the socket and chip of choice these days (Intel) for working at low buffers with VIs and plugins? My experience is leading me towards faster base clock then more cores for low buffer work. The Intel world is pretty dizzying with socket choices, and many of the 3.6-4.0GHz chips are i7s are older editions of i9s. With the increase in caching, thermals, etc. in the new chips, I'd imagine it's best to stick with an i9 with a strong base clock.

Thanks! It looks like the 12900KS is #winning.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Keep in mind that the 13900K is coming in a few months though (or before the end of the year). But if it ends up a signifcant boost to the KS (multicore for sure), you can do a drop in upgrade and sell the KS.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Today I'd go 12th gen i9 or i7. In Q4 2022 though, might as well get the 13th gen...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Hey all. I am building a new system.
Be Quiet 802 case I9 13900KF Cooler Master PL360 water cooler Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 5200 (waiting on the MSI MEG Z790 ACE Mother Board to drop) but I May get the Godlike z790 because they will be back in stock quicker MSI GeForce RTX 3080 10GB graphics card 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe M.2 1 TB 1x WD Black SN850X NVMe M.2 4TB What do you guys think? I am on a i7 6core 3090k at the moment which a few guys helped me with years ago in this post!! This should be a huge jump.

I'm considering if I could justify a drop-in i9-13900K upgrade to my i9-12900K system, it looks to be like such a massive improvement. I haven't really run out of power yet, but I do tend to push any system towards it's boundaries, and on one large 96k Atmos mix I already had to resort to the 8k sample high latency mode on Liquidsonics Atmos reverbs, which actually might have some delay comp issues (I can also sell the old CPU for ok price or bring it to a home gaming system)

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Good point on IG. I do have a GC in my current build as a fall back. It's a GT640, lol. But it gets the job done.
So, the 12th gen has plenty of headroom? I wonder how much faster everything is going to load. Right now, it takes a few minutes to load tracks. I haven't tried much OCing on my current rig, which I have always heard not to do for music recording. What type of monitor setup are you guys using?
