Just built a x99 ws-e usb3.1 with I7 5960x and 980ti and need some help

[1moreminute]

Hello all.

We do photo and video editing with Adobe Photoshop, lightroom and Premire Pro.

I just built a new computer for the video editing side and also for lightroom and photoshop.

Its got the

Asus x99 ws-e USB 3.1 Motherboard
I7 5960x chip, not overclocked
Zotac 980ti GPU
64 gb Ram 8x8 sticks
EVGA supernova G2 1000 watt PSU
4 SSDs 2x Crucial and 2x Samsung Evos
2 mech drives
Running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit


OK, here is the issue and I have a feeling something is just not configured correctly. Fresh win 10 pro 64bit install and all fresh drivers and program installs.

I am good at building things just not so much on the software and configuring side! All I know is Lightroom is running slow, my old computer ran that quicker so that why I am thinking something is just not right, possibly a setting in the BIOS or Driver issue?


How can I test this too make sure everything is OK?

Please help me get this configured correctly, just spent a ton of money on what feels like (at the moment) a 10 year old computer that should be SMOKING fast!!

Thanks all

how did you setup the ssd? and the 2 hdd?

Do you have the latest version of Lightroom installed? Newer versions are optimised for better performance with newer OS and hardware. Also make sure that your frequently used apps are installed on your SSD rather than the HDD.

Yes every program is fresh and up to date.

the one Crucial SSD houses the OS and all programs and drivers etc. The rest of teh SSDs and HDDs are for storage, export drives etc.

Ever tried messing around with the settings in Lightroom(I'm no expert in it). Try to set some things like hardware acceleration, use cuda cores etc. Your PC is a monster of a one. Should be able to crunch numbers waaaay faster than your 10 year old PC. Also, try installing Lightroom in a different SSD than the one being used by the OS. Maybe that might help too.

Yes I went onto the performance section in settings in Lightroom and have it running off my GPU etc, And yes I agree, should blow my other computer away, thats why I figured its something that I am not doing right, and me saying a 10 year old computer, my other one was a fast computer built around 1 year and a half ago but was AMD CPU and only 16 gigs of ram etc. But I meant shes running like a 10 year old computer. Thanks!

1moreminute,

I've never used Windows 10 but just to eliminate settings as possibility:

1. In the Win 10 version of Control Panel / Power Options, change from Balanced power plan to High Performance

2. Check in BIOS that hyperthreading and all processors are enabled

3. Turn off all drive and monitor hibernation / sleep.

4. Check in BIOS that the correct RAID mode is selected. This may still work in the wrong mode, but if you change it later, the drive will lose all data.

5. In desktop personalization, turn off all animated menus, transparency, and turn off screen savers, backgrounds, and etc.

6. Check msconfig and turn off unnecessary startup and services.

My hope is that it's No. 1 or 2, which have caught me more than than once on a new system.

Cheers,

BambiBoom
