Testing my new build with i9 7940X and 128 Gb of RAM!

Intel I9 7940X is not to bad mine is overclocked to all cores to 4.0, and temp is 52c, TB is 4.30.
Socket is 2066, works on WSboard for ex. Asus.

He Marco,
any information about asio load and real time peak performance?
Do you have Orchestral Tool libraries to test as well?

Hello Feliks,
I do not own any Orchestral Tool library.
For the performance, It is not in the video but the peak happened at a latency of 128
The min latency where I had no peak and no pops or clicks was 194

Kind Regards
Marco

That's a spicy meat-a-ball!

But seriously thanks for sharing. These sorts of test are few and far between, yet incredibly beneficial.
(Or maybe im just a nerd?)

Great share as I’m one of those guys on the fence still about what my Master PC would use for system integration.

And the Spicy Meat-a-ball had to be the ancient Alka Selzer commercial.
My grandfather use to hysterically laugh every time that aired.
:laugh:

Thanks for watching, happy that it helps :)

If you can wait other two weeks I am going to do more, I have actually replaced the 1940X with a 1960X since I have seen that in many DAW bench the 16 cores is much better (and just 200 euro more), so end of the week I will add it to my build and run the same test.
Hopefully I will be able to play the same test but at a lower latency and will keep add instruments to see what is the maximum :)
Will then prepare a comparison video between the 1940x and 1960x

This is becoming a nerdy thing I know... :)

The Threadripper 2990WX did not behave well in DAWbench.


As today no working Thunderbolt for Threadripper, but GIGABYTE X399 AORUS XTREME
and X399 DESIGNARE EX have a Thunderbolt header

But Level1Techs made the Gigabyte Thunderbolt 3 PCIe card to work with a hack...


Sadly the safe bet still Intel, lets see what 2019 bring to us...

Well, Thunderbolt is designed by Intel so might be waiting a while
 
Thanks for sharing your insight on the i9! I assume, you have VEpro plugin set at 2 Buffers? Sorry, if that was mentioned already! If that is the case, though, your actual Buffers size would actually be 512 Samples, setting the interface buffer at 256 samples. Still a great result, just to be fair with this test! ;)

You are right!
I had not thought about it :)
I have now upgraded the CPU to 7960X and will make another video with the same test soon, this time I will not forget to mention it :)
 
Thanks for sharing this test. :emoji_thumbsup:

What I also like is that you are using BeQuiet! components. The company's name says it all. I'm super happy with their products.

I have the Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler (on a Core i7 9820x), Dark Power Pro 11 750W and the Pure Base 600 case. The PC is under my desk and it's not audible.

Sounds a bit modest. I could easily get 4.6 OC on all cores on my Gigabyte x299 Designare MB:

Yes, I choose to have a cooler setup and I use Oct.D15 cpu cooler and go to 4.6 makes everything warmer and need of watercolling, I already have 2 Pc slaves, so, I dont think higher cpu makes it for me for now. I will change for liquid cooler later, I need more room for Pci-e slot...so:)

Why did you uppgrade to 16-core...?

Because Cubase can use efficiently up to 32 threads (which will probably grow in future releases) and the update came with a very small difference in price, so better do it now or nevermore

Yes, Cpu prices is going up for some reason, the usally get reduce price after a while, a little strange.

I found that at Scan.co.uk they have killer prices on CPU, I took it there honestly the 7960x was much less then other stores

Hi Marco,
besides the testing you will do with your i9 7960X it will be very interesting how your system will perform with and without overclocking the CPU. A store owner of XI-machines (a german company selling audio workstations to professional media composers) told me that they do not overclocking their xeons (2155-W) because of stability problems. So it would be very interesting if you can perform a stress test to test your systems stability. In the end overclocking and running x-tracks means nothing if the system is not stable. Do you agree?
Regards
Feliks
