deceit wrote: » Make sure not to disable virtual memory in Windows 10 even if you have enough memory. It seems to be a bug in Windows 10 that it doubles latency when its disabled. I've confirmed it with a few systems. Figured it would be important to point out as latency would be key with audio systems.

Above DPC Checker Webpage wrote: Windows 8 Compatibility: The DPC latency utility runs on Windows 8 but does not show correct values. The output suggests that the Windows 8 kernel performs badly and introduces a constant latency of one millisecond, which is not the case in practice. DPCs in the Windows 8 kernel behave identical to Windows 7. The utility produces incorrect results because the implementation of kernel timers has changed in Windows 8, which causes a side effect with the measuring algorithm used by the utility. Thesycon is working on a new version of the DPC latency utility and will make it available on this site as soon as it is finished.

This the tool you want to use for checking latency on Windows 10.https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon By the way what kind of Recording/Music Production software are you using? It's been about 2 years since I did any music production since (really want to get back to it), but I used to use Cubase 5 along with Asio4All to get audio streams going from inputs and outputs at once.

Fingers Mcginty wrote: » Mobo, CPU, CPU Cooler and Ram arrived today. The CPU fan was a bit finnicky. Please take a look at the orientation of the fan.It can either be installed as i have it or it can be rotated 180 so that the fan faces the top of the case. Which way is best or does it matter. Hopefully it's OK as is?

moolers2000 wrote: » Yeah, that's correct. Molex connector is for powering the inbuilt fan controller. You can also connect fans directly t o motherboard which would give you more control over the fans.
Fingers Mcginty wrote: » I meant the molex connector marked blue in the pic (editied) I think wiring the fans to the motherboard isn't really a possibility as i only have one male molex on the motherboard? New to all this
moolers2000 wrote: » You can plug the molex(highlighted inblue) into your powersupply and power your fans that way or plug your fans directly into fan headers on motherboard.
Fingers Mcginty wrote: » Understood but i only have one fan header on the motherboard (male) and i have 2 fans with 2 seperate female molex connectors.
