I clocked that machine now to 3.8 GHz and it can run 12 (!!) voices of u-he Diva in “divine” quality.
Thats far beyond what I expected even in my wildest dreams. CPU doesn’t get hotter than 66°C on air cooling (with a huge cooler), so I may try pushing the envelope a bit further. 4.0 GHz, possibly?
Stock voltage is what I want. I don’t want to kill that EUR 500,- CPU via electromigration in a few months.
Edit:
Just added two FX channels (all Diva instances sending there) with 2caudio B2… still works without hiccups (using ASIO guard, of course… doesn’t work without).
256 samples of latency.
This machine is a beast.
