Hi,
I also set up a hack for music recording purposes (logic pro using a fireface 800). So far I'm quite pleased with the build, certainly in terms of performance.
mobo x79-ud5, 3930k, 32 ram, gpu gt 430 (fanless)
I still have an issue with shutdown. The system does appear to shutdown (monitor and drives are switched off), but the motherboard stays alive and all fans keep spinning.
Reading around on the forum, I tried disabling wake on lan, but without success. I also read something about some procedure related to PS2 keyboard/mouse in IOKS that blocks the shutdown procedure from finishing. However, I've only find older posts on this specific issue and this is on a mobo with another chipset (z68 I believe). Could this also be causing my issues with shutdown? I wonder if any of you have encountered this issue or if you have any idea where I should look.
Something I want to add as a for-your-information: so far there was one main issue: completely random freezes. It turned out to be the graphics card being installed in the wrong slot. The board has 2 pciex16 slots. As I wanted to have both pciex1 slots to be available, I initially chose to install the graphics card in the lower pciex16 slot.
I didn't have a clue where to start when these freezes were occurring, but reopening the case, switching the graphics card to the top pciex16 slot was the first thing that crossed my mind. And it apparently did the trick...
Would love to hear some thoughts on the shutdown issue - thanks for your inputs!
ciao
