Worked like a dream all day, just had one issue when opening a project with Halion 5, it couldn’t find the samples and crashed. Sorted it out with the search and all good.
Windows 8 is really great, even on a desktop non touch machine.
Big thanks to Scan in the UK for fantastic service, great O’d bench tested bundle, great service and the packages arrive exactly on the day and the hour they said.
I knocked back the fan speed with a small rise in temps but the machine is pretty silent now in the 550 case.
Sounds like a dream…are you monitoring any operating temps? I see mine runs a little warmer but finding accurate measurements is probably the main issue even though I am measuring from the same point as the earlier CPU and cooler
That will be fun to update this great stuff into your sig… Good luck with this new machine
My temps are running around the 50 to 60 degrees which is well below any issues, I know it’s not as low as it could be but I’ll take slightly higher temps for lower noise here.
I recon on stock settings in the Obsidian case it would be silent, as it is its very quiet.
Windows 8 is working great and so far after tracking this week and now mixing all day today , its been a joy, no issues at all.
I wish I had the money for such a setup
