When I record fraps video of Supreme Commander Forged Alliance, the video ends up with crackling audio. This happens whether the CPU or GPU is overclocked or not. My old Asus motherboards never did this. DPC Latency monitor says everything is fine during recording

It happens on my Asus ROG Maximus XII Formula as well. I discovered it crackles only if my speaker setup is set to 7.1. 5.1 and stereo works fine.

The faster CPU and Optane 905P SSD makes a difference but the slowest factor is the Asus Rampage V Extreme. It has many features and that makes it post and boot slowly, even without memory training.

Here I filmed my PCs loading Satellite Reign. Even though I use the very same Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSD, the new system is considerably faster. I’ve seen this in other games too, maybe I’ll make more game loading time videos.

Samsung SATA SSD vs Optane 905P SSD Disk Cleaner scan time
I test the speed Disk Cleaner scans my main drive on a Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSD and an Intel Optane 905p SSD. The CPU and motherboard is also different. It is to see how much faster my new build is compared to the old one. See building Gaara i9-9900KS RTX 2080 Ti Z390 Aorus Master.

Different boot configurations timed on my PC. The SD Card Reader is a Panasonic BN-SDCMAB and it slows down the boot process very much. RAM testing also slows down boot time, but Compatibility Support Module off does not help much.
