Hi @EGS I'm in the process of looking at a new build and yours looks similar to what I'm thinking about. So far I've narrowed it down to the following; Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 AERO D CPU: Intel i9 12900K RAM: (Haven't decided on Brand ) 64gb DDR5 My question is, in both the opposing (same brand) Motherboard & CPU's of the same specs, the difference is one has integrated graphics and the other does not. I know integrated graphics has been a problem in some builds, are you aware if this is still the case or is that a thing of the past? It looks like your build does have integrated graphics, is that correct?

Your build will likely be a power monster that should future-proof you for a good while!

It's going to take a few months to buy/gather everything needed. It'll probably be end Feb next year before it's up & running.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Will do.
I suspect it'll be little different from your build as far as performance goes.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
To zedhed (& others doing Intel/Gigabyte builds):
When I first setup my i9-11900K/Z590 Vision D, I followed this article's straightforward advice: https://skatterbencher.com/2021/04/0...d-to-5500-mhz/ Scroll down to "Strategy #2: Traditional Approach". Worked perfectly first try, and running all cores at a constant 5.1GHz ever since. Temps are fine, no throttling up or down, no crashes. This is a conservative/gentle setting; no crazy "gamer" type OC stuff at all. Stable & works great 5 months in. This build has tons of CPU headroom.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
i9-12900K parts on the way here, wish me luck! The MSI PZ690-A Pro *looks* like it can handle my HDX2 cards...
(Biggest immediate worry I have is when Noctua will get around to shipping the LGA1700 adapter for my NH-D15)

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
It's time! I am starting the process of configuring a new Windows system. My current system meets my needs just fine, no performance issues. But I have the cash, the time and the energy right now, so I would like to build a stable, “future-proof” system to take advantage of Windows 11.
I seldom record more than a half-dozen tracks at a time (think bluegrass bands). Editing and mixing maybe twice that number. Plugin and VI usage is very modest. No over-clocking or other “hot rodding” on the hardware. My current configuration: • Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz • ASUS P9X79 Deluxe motherboard • 16.0 GB RAM • Single(!) Samsung 860 EVO SSD (1TB partitioned half/half as OS and data) w/ second SATA or external USB/SATA drive as needed Questions / Considerations: • Is there any significant downside to going with an i5 CPU rather than an i7 or i9? • Do ASUS motherboards still have a good reputation? If so, which series? (Prime, Workstation, or ??? So many choices!). • Any thoughts regarding M.2 for the OS, or can I stick with my current 2.5-inch SATA drives? • Although 16GB RAM has worked fine up till now, I will probably go to 32GB “just because”. • I’m a very much out of date regarding i/o. What’s important on the motherboard? USB type C? USB 3.2? Thunderbolt?

Depends on your audio interface, but a MB with Thunderbolt and USB 3.2 is a good choice for future-proofing.
