Hi everyone,
I am trying to upgrade my current PT HD2 with 96I/O system using this motherboard http://ift.tt/W4KR2U to PT HDX with an HD 8x8x8 I/O running PT 11.2 and Windows 7 64 bit professional. My old system was extremely stable under PT 10.3.8 with no issues once I disabled all the USB ports on the MB except 2. Worked great for years. Now I want to get caught up to PT 11.2 hopefully without building a new computer.
My HDX card is in slot slot 5 (small PCIe x4 slot generation 1) and my graphics card is in slot 4 (long PCIe slot x16 generation 2). The slot closest to the CPU is slot 6 (PCIe x16 gen 2) but I can't use it because my CPU heat sink is in the way.
Should the slot order matter? Is it OK that the graphics card (ATI FireProV3700) is not in the slot closest to the CPU. In my old configuration the PT HD2 cards where in slots 1 and 2 (Original PCIx slots and furthest away from the CPU. So in this build the graphics card is in a different slot order relative to the HDX card.
I installed 11.2 and it updated the HDX card firmware. DigiTest reported no problems and everything passed 100%. The card sees the I/O.
Upon playing a session PT 11.2 kept having issues with the video engine freezing and stopping playing back a complex 59.94 QT that played fine on my old system. If I change the video track's quality to best performance or draft, it plays much better but obviously not as good looking. Normal 23.976 reference movies seem to play fine at all qualities. This isn't a huge deal since I hardly do anything at 59.94.
My other and more pressing issue is that the computer won't record for very long. On average less than 10 minutes without stopping and saying there is a CPU conflict or a clock issue. (I forgot the error code but will fire it up next and report back). I am trying to record my stress test session of 32, 32bit tracks at 96k since that is way more data than I typically record. I only need 8, 24 bit 48k tracks to work stable. My old system could record 32, 32bit tracks at 96k for over 3 hours without stopping. The system usage window reports only 5% for the CPU. I have 24 gigs of ram with disk cache set to "normal", my HDX card is hardly being taxed at all.
I just can't seem to find the conflict. There shouldn't be a choke point in a data pipe.
Any ideas?
MB = Super micro X8SAX
IntelI7 960 BX80601960
Graphics = ATI FireProV3700
64 gig SSD for system
2 TB Seagate SATA 2 drive for audio/video
24 gigs of ram
Windows 7 64 bit professional
Thanks,
David
