Hello! I'd like to announce my new PC, now being successfully used for Hauptwerk.
MotherBoard is ASUS X99 Deluxe II... as used for Gaming and for High Performance Work-Stations.
CPU is Intel i7 6900K 3.2 GHz (8 cores).
RAM is 128 Gb (non-ECC).
2 Tb HD for OS and Sample Set Data.
2 Tb SSD for HW Cache Files.
Corsair H60 Liquid Cooling for CPU.
1000W PSU.
I had the System Custom-Built for me by Puget Systems of Washington State. For just 4% more than the cost of components, they did a professional and good-looking job of assembly, with thorough testing of all components plus the finished system. For an additional 4% they provided custom fan arrangements for optimal cooling (documented by Infra-Red Imaging while the System was under Full Load) and special attention to having the System run extremely quiet. Really, when it finishes reading a CD and the optical drive shuts down, it SOUNDS like the whole system is turned off!
They customized the BIOS settings for me so the CPU Cores always run at a constant speed. Also, disabling LAN, WiFi, and BlueTooth as these will never be used with the System.
I've installed Windows 7 (64-bit Pro, SP1), and am using the MOTU micro-lite USB-MIDI Interface.
The whole system runs with extremely low DPC Latency... maximum of 30 micro-seconds during a 5 1/2 minute test last night.
Yesterday I installed my Pro-Audio Sound Card by RME... the "HDSPe AIO". I had to install a couple of updates to Windows so the Operating System would accept the latest Drivers. But everything went smoothly once Tech Support had explained what had to be done.
A quick install of Hauptwerk, and hooking everything together. The St. Anne's Moseley Organ has never sounded better!
Looking forward to getting everything transferred over from the old System. And now the latest large Sample Sets can be fully installed... and played with plenty of Polyphony!
That's it for now, from -- OrganoPleno
