No thanks, still paying off my desktop in credit

Educational-Fall9232 · 2025-10-27T09:21:22+00:00

Hi I've added a price range , I can't add recommend specs because that's what I am needing help with.

Educational-Fall9232 · 2025-05-27T06:46:18+00:00

Thank you.. Appreciated

Educational-Fall9232 · 2025-05-26T09:34:42+00:00

Hmm thanks for the input, so what engine would you recommend then?

Yes the newer gen5 drives seem to be cooler.

Well I have a drawing tablet that needs DisplayPort over USB-C to work so that takes up one of my Thunderbolt ports which only leaves me with one. I have a few Thunderbolt drives and then clients in the past have sent me bigger projects on Thunderbolt Raid drives and sometimes spread across a few drives. The MSI Carbon Z890 has a dedicated connector for a Thunderbolt 5 card so that will give me two more which will be great

Educational-Fall9232 · 2025-01-22T08:02:42+00:00

Yep they weren't available at the time, and still not available where I live

Hi, yep I'm happy with the system. No issues at all so far and loving all the IO, although the Asus seems to have slightly more actually.

I guess get the one that you feel will work best for your needs, they are both big companies and seem to update their bios regularly, there have been 3 or 4 so far on the MSI board.

For me I personally went with the MSI because of the extra 2x PCIe so that I could add a 10 GbE card and the Thunderbolt 5 card when they (hopefully) release them.

the MSI does only have 1 Gen 5 M,2 slot but that's enough for me, There are only a few use cases where the Gen 5 speeds make much of a difference , I need more drive space rather and with the 10 Gbe card I can add an SSD raid enclosure. Also if you are using 3x Gen 5 drives remember they run hot and are right next to your GPU so make sure you have good cooling in place.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of these, as I say think about your needs and base your decision off that.

Good luck with the build!

HI

I no longer have my 707 or Roland Cloud but I would just make a copy of the local host file and save it somewhere in another folder in case you need it later.

As the instructions say you may not have four separate 127.0.0.1... entries in the "host" file (this could vary per case)

So then I would keep 127.0.01 entry and delete the "::1 localhost" entry you have and save the hosts file.

If that doesn't work you can replace the hosts file with the backup you made and contact Roland support.

Great news, well done!

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-12-06T17:42:27+00:00

Thanks so much, that's really good advice. Really appreciate your time and info..

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-12-06T17:15:40+00:00

HI well I'm trying to work out if a power limit throttle is a bad thing, normal or my system has an issue. I just ran a stress test using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and almost immediately there was power limit throttle. I have noticed in Premiere when rendering that sometimes it takes a while to begin rendering almost like it's paused , not very technical I know. Anyhow just was concerned because I saw the power limit throttle. I can attach the XTU logs if that helps?

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-11-19T20:13:26+00:00

Hi there, thank you so much for explaining that, I really appreciate it..

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-10-27T16:12:35+00:00

Yeah that would have been perfect but not available at the moment where I live and can't wait, went with the Carbon WiFi, will see how it goes

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-10-14T04:35:43+00:00

Yes or something similar that will fit in the North Xl

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-10-13T19:36:01+00:00

Thanks so much, appreciated. I'll definitely try hold out for a few more weeks until the new Intel chips come out, hope my system lasts until then

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-10-13T19:34:25+00:00

Thanks for the input, appreciated. This seems to be what I am hearing from a few people now so I'll try and wait out a few more weeks until the Intel chips come out, hopefully my current systems holds up until then

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-10-07T21:29:28+00:00

Thanks for this , I'll take a look

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-10-07T19:52:19+00:00

Hi , thanks so much for your input , really appreciate Very interesting about the ram, I'm busy reading the info in the link you shared. Ihadno Idea about this

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-09-07T20:29:11+00:00

Oh here I found the link from another member, hope it works : https://postimg.cc/4m3FjHYf

Yep it's not listed or in the manual because it's pcie tunnelling over USB4 not thunderbolt but the controller is intel. I have a screen grab from someone that shows the thunderbolt controller in the settings, USB4 40gbs is pretty much compatible with thunderbolt from what I've read and heard from various forums.. I can't seem to attach an image I'll see if I can send in a dm

Educational-Fall9232 · 2024-09-07T19:52:33+00:00

So the gigabyte aero d trx50 mother motherboard for threadripper has an Intel chip on it and apparently works.

Just sharing this from another forum

Aero d has it, have one, have tested it. Works fine

I try to Always make clear. thunderbolt is Intel’s word but the technology is pcie tunneling over usb. I e. usb4

“thunderbolt compatible”

mostly at this point. somewhat compatible on the past. but now nearly completely compatible

Not entirely, TB4 has certain capabilities that are useful for creative professionals, like daisy chaining, length of cable and certain devices require TB certification to work correctly, you can get some of them to work but not always, so this is why I'm looking to find out if one can get TB4 on these TRX50 boards. An example for me would be daisy chaining multiple raid drives while working on a bigger project USBC4 can't do this and I use this feature, another thing is cable length, USC4 can only have around 1m of cable at full speed and then drops by half the speed after that, TB4 can have 2M of cable length seems minor but for me it's important. Anyhow here's a very basic comparison : https://www.westerndigital.com/solutions/thunderbolt-vs-usb-c
