System 12.0.70 stable at its best! Test, Learn and discover

The latest Cubase 12.0.70 on my PC is running good. With plugins that I have kept and others needed to uninstall. Instruments as well. For now I kind off found the sweet spot for my personal build.
I can spend hours everyday with zero issues and I really mean it! :slight_smile:

After trying different scenarios and tweaks over the year.
Purchasing plug ins. Trying them out to keep a few and put the rest a side.

System build. What was good for me and not so good.
-From an AMD 5950x cpu to a Intel 13900KF and then settle with AMD 5900x.
-From an AMD B550 strix wifi to MSI x570s mpg wifi then to a MSI x570s unify (no wifi)
-From a Z790 prime to a giga master z790
-From a Audient iD14 mkII, to a Steinberg UR44C then a RME babyface pro fs.

I don’t know why but the 5900x runs better than the 5950x.
The MSI x570s unify with no wifi and 90amps power stage (even if I disabled wifi on the others) seems to be very stable.

The Steinberg UR44C and the RME Babyface pro fs both run well with no issues. I settled for the RME.
I will not comment on my Intel build. Maybe I wasn’t to familiar with the e-cores. So I didn’t have much success and patience also to make it run smoothly like the older gen AMD.

As for plugins, I find some manufacturers and only a few, seem to depend on higher ressources then others.
Just sharing my experience. Thanks for taking the time to read read my topic.

Interesting!
How was the 13900KF compared to the two AMD CPUs? I know that might be difficult, since the motherboard would have needed to be the same for accurate testing.
To share my experiences with hardware:

I basically always had Intel CPUs and never had an issue. I also always used Asrock mobos and those as well never caused any problems. Never had any issues with all of my interfaces so far:
Audient ID4, Scarlett 2i2 Gen 3, Motu 16A, Antelope Audio Zen Studio, Motu 828es.

As always (to everyone out there): only install and download programs, which have to do with your audio work. Having a machine which is an allrounder (video editing, gaming, etc.) is a bad idea when it comes to audio work. When I had any issues, I checked my system with latencyMon and was always able to find the problem.

Oh and I disabled any power saving features in the OS/BIOS, which helped a ton as well.
