PC tweakists of the Recording World, lend me a hand if you please.
I've noticed that my PC has in the last while gotten a little glitchier than it used to be.
Specs are: Win 10 Pro x64
Asus Prime Z270-K board
Intel i7700 3.6Ghz
16GB of DDR4
Seagate SSHD Hybrid drives
Running DPC Latency Checker I'm getting around 1000us without launching anything.
My drivers are all up to date and audio card is RME HDSP9652 PCI, so the driver is not suspect at all.
I have switched all the usual and unusual devices off and back on as much as I dare but with no noticeable improvement.
The machine runs fine but when I play back big projects I get the occasional RAM spike every few minutes and a slight audio drop, then back to normal. Any ideas what could be pushing the latency up so much?
