Hi All,
Firstly This is my first post but been lurking here for some time
I want to firstly fully disclose that I bought my machine from a company that build hackintoshes. and got them to customise one of their off the shelf systems.
I'm fairly geeky but wanted an expert to build my system so that I could get going fairly quickly and minimise frustration. However I have a basic knowledge on how to reinstall everything and have done this once after experiencing a non booting machine.
My build is Running 10.11.6 El Capitan, Dual Boot Windows 10
UAD Apollo twin thunderbolt
DAW Ableton Live 9.7.1
5820k 6 core over clocked to 4.0 ghz
X99 EVGA GTX 970
32 Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Ram
Thunderbolt 2 card
Corsair Hydro Series H115i
Corsair CX750
2 x 500 gb Samsung ssd 850 evo's
2TB Toshiba 7200 rpm
My issue is that I am also using a maxed out 2013 i7 Macbook pro 16gb ram and apart from it being a quieter machine performance is actually the same / a bit worse. I can run it at Latency of 512 but any lower and I start hearing the usual pop clicks and drop out.
Ive read some of the BoomR's post and turned various recommended processes off
Also I read somewhere that turning hyper-threading off can help the system run better so downloaded xcode and turned it off there rather than in the BIOS, didnt seem to make much difference.
I'm just wondering if anyone else is running a similar system and how they have found performance and any advice I could get would be great.
Thanks
