My new studio PC is going great, been very happy with the results so far, a few fortnights ago, I was able to buy a new PCIe Firewire 400 card with a Texas Instruments chipset that Focusrite recommend, and I managed to install and get it working in my new studio PC with very little trouble, the new PCIe Firewire 400 card allows me to plug-in my Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Audio Interface and use it with my Daw software, I've got it all working well.
Okay, here's a pic of the insides of my new studio PC, showing the new motherboard, CPU, and ram sticks installed in the case, I managed to buy a brand-new 750 Watt modular power supply for the new studio PC, which really helped to tidy-up my cable management....
Top pic is the new studio PC up and running, you might notice a multi-coloured fan in the clear side-window, that's the new Ryzen 7 3700X CPU cooling fan.
Here's a pic I took after I had finished installing the new Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus WiFi motherboard, underneath the fan is the CPU heatsink for the new Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, which normally runs at a base frequency of 3.5Ghz, but sometimes goes up to 4.3Ghz, it's an 8-core CPU, but comes-up as a 16-core CPU in device manager because each of the 8 physical cores handles two threads simultaneously, so, it's a pretty powerful CPU, it seems to be able to easily handle a full mix in FL Studio, with CPU usage hovering at about 50%.
Here's a pic of my current studio setup, as you can see, my new studio PC is running Windows 11, all the new hardware I installed in the case is fully supported by Windows 11, all I had to do is go into the new motherboard's Bios and make sure that FTPM (Firmware Trusted Platform Module), and UEFI Secure Boot was enabled, my new AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU was on Microsoft's AMD Windows 11 supported CPU list, I must say that I am very impressed and happy with how Windows 11 is running on my new studio PC, it runs really well, I've experienced relatively few issues.
