Got an i7 3930k in this mobo overclocked to 4.4. Running prime 95, when any core reaches 82 the clock ratchets back down to 3.2k. Very useful feature but I want to disable it temporarily for testing.
Can’t see if this is a bios setting or whether it’s perhaps in the windows 7 power plan. Using the performance plan at the moment which sets min and max at 100% so I’m thinking its a bios setting somewhere.
Hi there. Thanks for your reply. This was just the way they overclocked it when I purchased it Haven’t done any tests yet to see the performance difference between stock speeds and oc’d…
Had an asus guy come back to me about the temp.
Combination of CPU power duty control and the adaptive thermal monitor feature
Thats a great clock speed and CPU. Does that allow you to run your Cubase at much lower buffers/latency etc. before the CPU gets harrased? And what kind of latencies are you getting at 32 or 64 buffer?
As it happened I just built the same 3930 machine and it is a race horse even w/o OC.
So far I have not done any tweaking to the OS win7 sp1 and if there are no performance problems
comming up I will leave it as it is. Keeping all bits from going into sleep mode might be worth doing, though.
Smaller track count recordings I take in 1.5 ms or 3ms which is fast enough to work with a native reverb in the Nuendo channel sends. But I have done so with a i7 930 machine and the same RME card, already. When mixing it is more the needs of e.g. UADs that lets me choose 256 or even higher. That, I guess, won’t change with the faster machine.
Sure, the machine is noticeably more relaxed there…
The whole setup is actually running so effortless that I didn’t bother to carry on with a little stress test I made.
Real life jobs will now show if it performs as well in a bigger nprs.
But I have no reason to doubt that…I am happy…
The buffers and latencies are more a thing of convertors or I/O cards, I suppose.
RME hw & drivers do a great job, here, as I said.
