serious problem with cpu overload

... but are still sold

the Caviar you mention is certainly a 'new' one, as WDs have not been particulary quiet in my experience - it's good to read that things improve.
As mentioned, the number of surfaces of the disk is responsible for heat emission.
Less platters with higher density also improve transfer rate - it requires a more sophisticated read/write electronics, tho.

cheers, tom

Your right Astro, the drive has two months of existence.

today i bought a TAGAN580w power supply for my pc.
i had a 520w, but the tagan seems very well made. quality of cables and generally very good construction.
i made this step because i was totally bored of oppening my older one and make cable soldering to make drive sata cables from inside .
the new tagan has i think good power supply for my drives and rest of the system and such issue is not going to be a problem for me anymore, unless there is a super external power supply for pc's.
well.
1. i raised pci latency from bios.
2. i do not understand what you told me about ide bus. how can this be changed? i use only sata hd's
3. what about smbus controller? should i unninstall its driver?
4. cpu temperature monitoring is not loaded when i work with music(checked in task manager), even then you meen that it takes cpu usage?

these are a few questions more.

one other solution was to disable the effects of nuendo channels. this makes the project lighter.
of course it is difficult even on my 20dsp system to give effects to all channels from scopes mixer, (i usually use STM2448)

glad it's better. your description sounded more serious.

why not use a mixture of nuendo and scope plugins? everything from one source gets dull after a while....

I had a big problem with latency and it suddenly went away. I think this occured when I
put in a totally new graphics driver. Is it an ATI graphics card?

I have 3 scope 2 HD and one cd rw and all powered with one low decibel 250w power supply bat is it not normal power supply in the 3 volt and 5 volt line have 180 Watt of power like one 300 400 watt,Real 250 WATT
I have put the pc out of case,45 DSp in to case much hot and have purcase low decobel emissione fan's and power supply see here,bat don't smile pls

eheheheh

my Desktop win XP like Linux

SMbus controller is intel driver to monitoring harware temperature and fan's velocity,it condivise and is route in one irq of one PCI slot ,I have disable this

Sure the hardware monitor consume Cpu clicle,disble this end make not use in this profile SmBus controller ,disable it

good musik to all

well, i have changed some settings in the ati card. it helped the system to become a little more fast. i think that it also helps for lower cpu loads.

trying all the time fot rhe best optimizations.
you know that i do not actually think that there are much faster machines at the moment than mine.
the best is to work by having the best setting for your machine.

yes, the best setting for your machine is it.... and a fast machine is not as good as one designed and optimized for the purpose....most computers need priority to grahpics cards not audio cards....

Are you using the ATI "Catalyst" drivers? When I put that in, it seemed to help a lot.

ARCADIOS · Post by **ARCADIOS** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:49 pm

actually i load the cards drivers from the original cd and after i update only the driver, not the catalyst control panel.
when i install the new ones from the start, problems appear. what is going on i do not know, is it beceuse the new drivers are made for pci-e? i have agp.

Try the giant Catalyst file. It worked for me. I think it has new drivers in it.
