New Hex core i7 build for CS 5.5 / CS 6

I've been asked by a friend to design and build a new system, I've built plenty of systems over the years but never for video editing and animation, so over the last few days I have read up and came up with the following, hopefully it's a well balanced system with not too many compromises. It's a lot of money and I'd like to be confident I've got it pretty much right.

I think I have compromised on the hard drives, they are Caviar Green, which spin at 5900rpm, but still have a 110M/Bs transfer rate, so I would have thought that would be fast enough in raid 0 (he has a 3TB drive for backing up). Hard drive prices are crazy at the moment, what seems not too long ago I paid £56 for 2TB, now most are around £100 plus, and 7200RPM 1TB drives are not much less (some are more) than what we're paying for these 2TB ones.
Hopefully the GPU & CPU are well balanced, this I think is what I'm most concerned about (getting the GPU right), I'm aware we'll need to hack the TXT file, but I'll use the app from here.
The build budget is maximum £1850, which is about $2850 (1 GBP = 1.54072 USD)
Any thoughts, suggestions, major holes in the build?
If making suggestions please bare in mind we've got to pay UK prices, and I can't go over £1850.
PS. The layout tools in this forum are 1st class.

I've updated the build slightly, changed the PSU to the 750AX, and changed to a single 2TB Caviar Black, I think I'll leave the rest as is. I think taking in the above comments, budget and time restraints and as there doesn't appear to be any major problems I'll get the parts ordered tomorrow.
Presume the single Caviar black will be fast enough?
There seems to be a lot of problems with the Seagate drives with regards to clicking noises, so I think I'll avoid them.

New 8 Core sort of weirdness

So we just got a new 8 core Mac Pro for one of our animators and i am setting it up with software. The weird thing i just noticed is that the second drive we ordered is named, and this is straight out of the box, "NotQuiteMaxDisk".
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Ok, strange: http://www.mediabaron.com/blog/2006/01/17/***-bizzaro-hard-disk-issue/
so does this mean i have a flaky drive? Any thoughts?

VI Problem using LV8.2, Vision Builder for AI 3.0

Dear All,
I have problem that that some vi are missing while I upgrade LV and Vision bullder for AI.
Origional: LV7.1 & Vision bullder for AI 2.0
New: LV8.2, Vision Builder for AI 3.0
I don't konw why the error happen. Please give advice for me.
Thank You

Hello HeartShield,
If you double-click on each missing subVI error, you should be taken to a location on the block diagram where a question mark is holding the place of the missing subVI. Right-click on the question mark, select Replace, and then navigate through the palettes until you find the VI. Clicking on the VI in the palette completes the replace operation for that question mark. After repeating this procedure for each missing subVI error, you will need to save your VI.

Quad core or Hex core for Premiere pro

I am about to take the plunge and upgrade my aging edit PC
Having read some very useful posts on what to get at various budgets but I am still left with a few questions.
I edit mainly AVCHD footage on CS5 and compress to h264 for vimeo or intanet, I have a GoPro 3 but this is rearly used for anything serious but I do intend to upgrade to CS6 in the future.
Do I need a hexcore if I am not burning Blu-ray discs and am unlikely to edit 4k in the near future?
If I buy a quad core machine will I have a dramatic increase in rendering and compression time over the hex core?
The quad core will save more than the cost of a Matrox MXO2 Mini MAX if I do need h264 accelaration but this may still not be as fast, has anyone had experience of the Matrox compared to a hex core machine?
The specs only give a guide and practical experience available on this forum seems the best advice.
I look forward to your replies
Aidan

Aidan,
I'd say it depends on your price point. Premiere Pro gets great performance by taxing much of a system including cpu, gpu, drives, bus (motherboard), and memory.
If you are wanting to build a desktop system yourself for under $1700, then I'd say Z77 4-core would be excellent. You can edit AVCHD for sure, but you would be more limited for complex projects.
If you are willing to spend more, the x79 chipset and i7-3930k 6-core is an excellent way to go.
Search around this site for awhile and you will find various build lists with lots of passionate comments on component selection for a wide variety of price points.
Regards,
Jim

New 8 Core ( but just 4 for Logic ...obviously )

Dears all,
i've purchased a new 8 core.
Obviously Logic can "see" only 4 processors. ( Obviously )
Any news about some patches or little update ??
Many thanks in advance

You go Anton! 8-core, with Logic, give it another few
months when the processor/5355-Zeon is availabe by
Apple then i'll sure know to feeling, of 8-core by
then leapoard should be out every thing working on
64-bit then maybe something new fr Logic, then the
games on.

Even if Leopard comes out fully supporting 64-bit applications, it won't turn 32-bit applications into 64-bit applications, and it's very unlikely that many applications will be quickly converted for full 64-bit use. Most programs won't benefit from 64-bit addressing.

I have an iMac OS X ver 10.7.5. Processor speed is 3.06 GHz intel core i3, and the memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM. My online banking app is being updated and requires OS ver 10.8 or newer. When I ask for available updates, the system says there are none available. How can I update my system to ver 10.8 or newer to accommodate the new banking app?

You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.

New dual core for running osx and windows-need autocad!

considering a new desktop. I own a powerbook g4
Machine Model: PowerBook5,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.1f3
and use mostly for Adobe Creative suite and Powercadd 7.
I then own a Dell Inspiron with Windows XP to run Autocad.(which I dislike PC)I would rather use a mac and wonder if the new dual core is something I should consider or is it not worth the pain?

You have to use the crossgrade/update 7.2 for Logic Pro to work on an Intel Mac.
It is now available and people have ordered it but I don't think anyone has received their upgrades as yet.
It has been pointed out both by Apple and in numerous other places that Logic Pro will not run under Rosetta so unless you have 7.2 it aint gonna be working......
If you DO have 7.2 already, then please tell us more.....

My new Pc Build for Premiere Pro Editing. Need opinions!

I have finally saved up enough money for my own Pc build and i need opinions on my parts list. My budget is aprox. $1800-$2000. This is a list I got from a local retail store, prices are taken from Pcpartpicker.
This pc's main use will be editing in Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects, with some Gaming. Also, should I stick with Windows 7 Pro?
Do you guys think this is a good build for the price range? Is there anything i should change?

What's the bad part? Multiple drives or RAID'ing them?
The bad part that Jim refers to is RAID 0-ing them: If only one of those drives goes bad, all of the data on both or all of the drives in that volume get permanently and irrecoverably lost (unless one wants to spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per disk just for professional data recovery).
On the other hand, the only major disadvantage of multiple smaller drives is that they tend to cost more money overall than one larger drive. What's more, some of the smaller-capacity drives are still of older platter layout designs that are significantly slower in sequential speed than most of the larger-capacity drives (and even those that spin at only 5400 RPM instead of 7200 RPM).

Hi,I have uploaded an app build for pre release and its still under processing So i uploaded a new build but still the issues is not resolved.Please help...Thanks

Hex core efficiency in Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw 6.0

Conclusion: Batch processing of files in Bridge CS5/Camera Raw 6.0 is limited by an unknown factor which I currently believe to be software design and/or software implementation. While performance on a dual core would be more or less CPU bound, and on a quad core would use the bulk of the available CPU power most of the time, on a hex core machine the CPU is woefully underutilized; i.e. I could be doing the same work in substantially less time.
Suggestion: At the very minimum, allow the option to have Bridge/Camera Raw process N (where we choose N, given that a dual socket motherboard will be able to have 24 cores in the very near future) files simultaneously, so we can tune our own systems for the disk IO vs CPU bottlenecks we each have. At best, automatically keep the CPU(s) running all cores at or near peak all the time, or until you run out of disk IO bandwidth.
Observations taken with the Windows 7 Resource Monitor and the SirReal G15 keyboard applet
Camera Raw Batch actions:
When I select a number of photographs (I typically select scores to hundreds), either fresh RAW files from a Canon 50D or existing DNG's converted with prior versions of Photoshop, and apply some change to all of them (for instance: changing from the 2003 Process with ACR 4.6 camera profile to the 2010 Process with the Camera Neutral camera profile, I see very tiny sections of disk IO (not exceeding 20MB/s on a high end SSD), no hard faults/s in memory, no real network IO, and CPU follows a very distinct pattern, with about .75 to 2 seconds at each of the following CPU levels, in sequence:
18 (one core plus a bit)
70-88 (5ish cores)
18-23% (one core plus a bit)
45-55% (about 3 cores)
repeat
A very important feature for me, Bridge CS5 Preview Extractions on a new folder show 33-45MB/s of disk activity, and a solid, exact 25% (1.5 cores) of CPU with dips to 19% or so. This very clearly indicates that the Preview Extraction feature isn't able to use most of the cores in my processor.
Build: a new build computer (Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H rev1.0, BIOS F6) with an AMD Thuban 1090T 3.2Ghz hex core (running 5% above clock, FSB change to 210Mhz from the 200Mhz default, Prime95 stable for days), with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and all Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop cache and files running on an OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD. OS is Windows 7 64-bit. OS level page file is completely disabled.

Is it possible you're overwhelming the main memory bandwidth by the fact that you are working on (multiple) large images? Multi-core machines can only work on as much data as they can get from/to memory, and what you're doing is kind of flushing data right through the cache. I'm less familiar with the AMD architecture, but doesn't the concept of 6 cores on one chip mean that they ALL share one main memory buss? This could be a case where given the task, more cores is not better.
It may also very well be that the entirety of Photoshop, which is at its core a relatively old application (architecture-wise), is not programmed to use multi-threading as well as it might be. Getting multi-threading to work right in an application is no picnic. And don't forget, this software is crafted to build and work in two widely different environments (Mac and PC) and so may not be able to use all the fanciest features of any one of those two realms.

Will there be a new LGA 2011 board(s) for the release of IB-E?

As the topic suggests.
I'm planning a new build and would like to know.
Cheers :D

Don't get your hopes up. Initially, DDR4 will be too expensive and too slow to justify the jump over DDR3. It'll be the next high end platform (the X99 successor) that will be considerably faster compared to DDR3 platforms. It's like the DDR to DDR2 and DDR2 to DDR3 switches. Major performance increases happened a couple of years after the new interface surfaced.
X99 will use many SATA 6Gbps ports but until then there will be cheaper SATA 12Gbps expansion cards on the market. Not to mention that using more than 2 of them is very unlikely. HDDs are hardly reaching 1.5Gbps and you won't need more than 2 SSDs on a typical system. If the system is not typical then it will either use 12Gbps SATA or PCIe SSDs, so again the 6Gbps ports will not be needed.
The PCIe 3 fiasco is NVIDIA's mess and has nothing to do with limitations of X79 and SB-E processors.
Essentially, the only reason to get X99 will be the support for 8 to 12 core Haswell-E desktop processors. But those will most likely be overpriced (1000$+).
Unfortunately Ivy Bridge-E desktop processors (out around this November) won't likely come in more than 6 cores. Unlike the server parts that will have up to 12 cores.
Haswell-E and X99 are expected to come out near November 2014. That's about one year and half from now. So waiting until then is not advised.
All in all, X79 and Sandy Bridge-E lasted way more than I thought. They'll stay 2 full years since their release at the top of desktop platforms until IB-E comes out and steals the first place in performance. Then after 1 year Haswell-E will ditch it to 3rd place, maybe 4th counting the Haswell refresh for LGA1150.
LGA2011 seems to be on par with LGA1366 in regards to longevity.
LGA1366 processors offered a greater performance boost over similar core 2 processors. The problem was that the major boost the 970 gave over quad core processors came at a very high price and came two years after the platform was released, and when the 980 came out SB-E was just around the corner.
Still, even 5 years later, a quad core 920 is fast enough to run every software currently out at reasonably high settings.
LGA2011 processors offer a less significant performance boost over similar LGA1366 processors, but the cost is far lower for the hexa-core released together with X79, while the LGA1366 equivalents were either too expensive or came out near the end of the platform's life. You also have more PCIe lanes with double the speed per lane. The greater over-clocking potential of SB-E is also a plus.
Judging from the current trends, it seems that early LGA1366 processors like the 920 will be enough for everything until around 2014-2015, and late hexa-core ones until around 2017-2018. That's like freaking 10 years since the platform came out!
LGA2011 processors will last about 5 years longer due to typical performance increases on new processors, and due to the inclusion of AVX instructions on them leaving major overhead for application performance optimizations (it's as important as SSE was for Pentium 3). That's also like 10 years until LGA2011 came out, maybe 12-15 if octa-core (or faster) IB-E desktop processors come out.
Technological advancements happen at a lower pace these years. Long gone are the days where every next year processor performance was doubled. Back then you needed a new PC every 2 years. I guess that I prefer the current situation. :p
Anyway, this post went a little overboard. To answer the poster's question... I'd say that MSI will get new X79 boards out in order to have "out of the box" Ivy Bridge-E capable boards out on the market. No current boards will support IB-E until their BIOS is updated, which is quite pointless if you need to buy an old processor in order to make the new one you bought compatible.
If you have a way to update the board BIOS to get the board ready for IB-E then by all means, get one of the MSI boards already out. The 8 DIMM versions of the X79A GD45 and GD65 boards from MSI are amongst the most reliable boards out there, even compared to the boards of other platforms (LGA 1155, 1150, AM3, etc).
Now, I don't say that there can't be defective boards, just that the chances of getting a defective board are far lower compared to the rest. The reliability of those boards when they are stressed is also better than on the rest.
Cheers! :D

New Intel Core i7 Haswell

Recently had a system fail and would like to build a new system. I've been torn between waiting on the new Intel Haswell CPU's vs either the Intel Core i7-3770k or Intel Core i7-2600K.
I'm looking for system for multi use. I have been doing scuba diving video on Premier Pro and may look towards a new camera down the road.
Your comments are appreciated.

Just a final note: I've decided to go with the processor that so many like in this forum. The PC will be for multi use.
Intel Cor i7-3930K Hexa-Core Processor 3.2 Ghz LGA 11
Corsair Vengeance 32 GB 4x8GB

Existing Drives that I would like to encorporate into the new system:
WD Raptor 500 GB
2 Samsung 1 TB HDD Sata 3 GB/s
1 Samsung 1 TB HDD Sata 3 GB/s
I am now looking for some direction on configuration of the drives. I could purchase additional drives.
I am still thinking about the mid tower case. I have a number of old videos of scuba diving trips that I can store on external drives. My space under a glass desk involves a smaller metal bracket which I can remove. I have thought of a full size case and if so would like roller wheels on the bottom of the case.
Thank you for your input.

Hardware Build for CS6 Production Premium

First: Thank you for all of the information in this forum. I've done a bunch of reading and there is lots of good information about a many issues.
Second: I am looking for advice on a build for CS6 Production Premium. I don't want top of the line, but a decent midgrade setup. I've done a bunch of reading and I think that I have a reasonable system, but would appreciate some advice. The last time I built a computer was the 1990s when we still had to set DMA and IRQ channels, so I'm a bit rusty.
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower RC-1200-KKN1

Two - Intel Xeon E5-2630 V2 Ivy Bridge 2.6GHz six core processors.
Two - Intel STS200C CPU heat sinks.
240 Pin 1600 MHz DDR 3 RAM. 16 GB adequate or 32 GB for a good balance on this system? (Don't really want to goto 64GB, but will if necessary.) Is it better to fill all 8 slots on the mother board or better to have more GB per card and run with 4 empty slots on the mother board?
Crucial M4 256GB SSD SATA boot disk CT256M4SSD2.
Six: 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/S Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 hard drives in a RAID 3 configuration with five drives in service and one in standby. (The SSD plugged into the 6GB/s SATA plug and the six 2TB plugged into the C602 SATA 3GB/S plugs? Nothing plugged into the Marvell SATA plugs?
The mother board doesn't support RAID 3 and I have no RAID experience, so I'm guessing that I need a dedicated RAID controller for this? If so, is an Areca ARC-1224-8I a good fit, or is there a better choice?

Now the $3 question: Video card(s). Is a single GeForce GTX690 adequate to run the various applications in Production Premium? A GTX Titan? Quadro K4000? I don't really want to go to the Quadro K5000, but will if forced.
The only software on the computer will be Windows 7, Adobe CS6, and either McAfee or Norton, along with whatever drivers are needed for the systems. I'll stay away from quicktime as it seems to gum up the works according to some advisers on this forum.
Is there anything that I am missing, hardware wise or installation pointers?
Thank you for any assistance!

I am considering a similar build for heavy Photoshop and Lightroom use. Currently on and older i7-1358 pin 3.0Ghz XEON cpu, I'm considering either a new i7-4930 or dual Xeons as you are. The reason for the Xeons is ability to use ECC memory and add more cores. This is a production system in daily use so I'd probably not be overclocking.
Interested in your and others views on this. Previous to my current system, I'v always had dual socket Pentiums, Athalons or Opterons, someof which are still in service but in a reduced roll.
I typically use fast drives, some SAS, 15K & 10K (SSDs now where it makes sense) and RAID where necessary, especially for SWAP drives in Photoshop along with lots of memory..
Thanks for any input here. Basically ECC vs non ECC (I know there is a speed hit with ECC, but really - how much?). Overclock (i7-4930) or non overclocking (Xeons)
I should also mention, Culch, that I am considering the same CPUs and MB as you.
Thanks for reading.

Critique my W530 Build for Post-Production Work

Hi everyone!
Please critique the following W530 build for post-production use. Primary applications in use are After Effects, Photoshop, Maya, Boujou, PFTrack, Mocha Pro. Was highly considering the Macbook Pro 15" Retina and the HP Ultrabook. But seems the Thinkpad has the best performance/price ratio in a decently portable form factor. Switching from the Mac side so guidance would be much appreciated!
Purchasing from Lenovo online store:
CPU - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)
GPU - NVIDIA Quadro K2000M Graphics with 2GB DDR3 Memory
RAM - 8 GB DDR3 - 1600MHz (2 DIMM)
HDD - 500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
Optical Drive - DVD Recordable
Total - $1,663.78
Buying separately:
512GB Samsung 830 Series SSD (Will replace with 500GB 7200rpm Drive)
Add 180GB SSD or 1TB 7200 RPM HD in Optical drive
Add 16 to 32 GB of RAM
My questions:
Will it be possible for me to do as I've said above (install a Samsung 830 series 512 GB as my Primary disk in place of the 500GB my laptop will ship with?
Can I put another SSD or a full TB with atleast 7200RPM in place of the DVD Recordable optical drive?
I want to upgrade the RAM to 16 or maybe even 32GB for excellent AE/Premiere performance. What clock freq RAM do you suggest/does it matter? If I want 32GB in total, how much should I get from Lenovo and which RAM do you suggest I add.
Any other suggestions on improving this build? Other brands you would recommend looking into?

My build and final specs I've gone with for a similair configuration (heavy VM use, some video editing, some 3D CAD/CAM work in SketchUp and older games like TF2).
As Shipped:
CPU - Intel Core i7-3720QM ($200 for less than 5% performance improvement from the 3820 isn't worth it)
GPU - K2000M (Twice the CUDA, worth it, newer video editors take full advantage)
RAM - 4GB RAM shipped
HDD - 320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive (See notes below for the trick)
Bay - Blank Travel Bezel
Upgrades:
RAM - 32GB DDR3 1600Mhz PC12800 from G.Skill
HDD - 240GB Mushkin Atlas mSATA SSD main boot drive, ~200MB/second random read/write worst-case
HDD - Software RAID-0 Dual 1TB Western Digital AV-25 hard drives, ~200MB/second sequential read/write
They've closed this loophole when I just checked, but you WERE previously able to order a W530 w/ a minimal 5400RPM low-power 320GB hard drive and NO CD/DVD drive (which but $180 off the price) by adding, then removing, the hardware RAID option.
The dual 1TB drives can push 200MB/second easily for sequential throughput when rendering or playing through video, and the SSD can keep up for random read/write as a scratch drive. I will recommend ONLY allocating 200GB of the SSD so there's extra redundancy, that's what I did at least.
But honestly, the 3820 isn't worth the $200 premium for 3.7Ghz versus 3.6Ghz CPU speed, spend that on the graphics card and/or buying the RAM and/or an SSD later.

Getting java.lang.AssertionError: No endpoints build for /wsdls/WSDLFile.ws

I am using Weblogic Workshop 9.2
I have to create a new Web Service in which need to use XML over HTTP binding. I have done the following:
1. I have created my own Schema and validated it.
2. Created my WSDL file and validated it - No issue in WSDL
but while I creating Web Service using WSDL, I am getting following Error:

Note: If I use Soap over HTTP binding, then I am able to create Web Service easily.
Please help to resolve the same.
Thanks in Advance.
