UPDATE: ALL PROBLEM RESOLVED WOOOOHOOOOO!
Almost gave up and decided to plea for help online and an ex-lieutenant from the US Navy nuclear forces on anandtech saved my sorry butt. On a late Friday evening, he looked every every screenshot of my bios settings and told me to change two obscure XEON specific power saving features and it magically cleared up ALL my problems.
The following two are disabled on the BIOS:
- Disable C6 State Reporting
- Disable Spread Spectrum
My i7-3970x has served me well for the past 5 years and with the advent of 4K videos, better optimized multi-core applications, I've finally made the decision to upgrade my system. My new build consists of the following:
CPU - Dual Xeon E5 2696V4
RAM - 64 GB Crucial DDR4 PC-2666 (8x8GB)
Storage: 2X800GB HGST SAS SSD RAID 0 for application/scratch disk
OS - Samsung 1TB 960 Pro NVME
GPU - ASUS Strix GTX 1080 ti
Case - Lian-Li PC-V2120x
Motherboard - z10pe-d16 ws
PSU - Seasonic Titanium 1000W
This system will also be used to benchmark various machine vision applications such as 3D point cloud processing used in machine vision inspection systems for quality control. (ScanXtream)
My other workstation is a single E5 2696V3 and Vegas 15 and Adobe Media Encore can take advantage of all physical cores when encoding videos and I can't wait to see the additional improvement from my new workstation. If you guys have good benchmark ideas let me know and I'll keep this thread up-to-date.
