Working 3xUAD-1, Win 7 64-bit & AMD 6 Core PC

[munchkin]

I've just built a new PC with the following specs:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU
Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 mobo
8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 RAM
Thermaltake 750W modular power supply
XFX RADEON HD 5570 ATI graphics card
3 x UAD-1
1 x Powercore PCI
RME Multiface with PCIe card
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
1 x 1TB 7200 WD drive
1 x 2TB 5400 WD drive
Samsung DVD-RW

The mobo must have BIOS version F3 to run the 1090T CPU. I had to send mine to Gigabyte UK to get it flashed before I could install the CPU. I've also used the recommended G.Skill RAM for this mobo. Everything has installed correctly and so far the UAD-1's are working fine with ACID Pro 7 and Vegas Pro 9. I initially had a problem installing one of the UAD-1 cards because Win 7 wouldn't load but after a couple of tries it worked fine.

I'm amazed everything installed so easily but I'll have to give it a thorough good testing to make sure there aren't any problems. So far I think this is a verified working Win 7 64-bit/AMD six core system for UAD-1. I'll report back if there are any problems.

It cost me at least a third less than it would have cost to buy an equivalent PC in a shop so building a PC works out a lot cheaper.

Oh and it's very fast and powerful!

That's good news actually.

You have been brave enough to take the plunge!

It is good to hear that AMD is working again with the new proc and UAD/PC/RME. Do you have any chance to test it with the new UAD-2 PCI-cards?

That could be an intersting new setup for me as well.

Hello - Im looking at upgrading my system and Im just wondering how the new X6 and ga 770ta is going - any problems with the uad cards or insallation etc?

Im looking at this mobo and ram but Im confused about the "flashing of the bios"? were you using this mobo prior to the new cpu because the gigabyte website doesn't mention this

Also Im not sure about your ram if you have 8gb is it (2x4GB) or (4x2GB)?

haha - hope you can help - my system is a bit overdue and Im keen to get things moving!!

thanks!
