A modern motherboard that fully supports PULSAR II

[Chthonian]

After many years I managed to buy a new pc, and after much researching I found this fully working setup for PULSAR II.

ASUS PRO H610M-C D4 . Supports socket 1700, supports 12th, 13th, 14th generation, has a PCI slot that works flawlessly with pulsar II cards.
32gb DDR4, I5 12400, NO PROBLEM WITH NVIDIA RTX3060, IRQ is automatic and not shared with other devices, of course you must switch off all unnecessary ports (com1 com2 parallel hq audio) and some other optimizations.
space is not much on the board, since it is MICRO ATX which is a bummer, but it has been stress tested, and works perfectly. its PCI/PCIe controller goes well with the board

Thanks for offering your experiences. Moving this thread to "Tech Talk" but out of deference to other users and the trickle of information these days I'll leave the shadow topic in "General Scope Discussion" too.

Good info! Please do a masterverb test and post the results
Thanks!

That’s useful info thanks. Only one PCI slot but keeps card alive. Is it faster than the MSI H170 Gaming M3 Motherboard which has 3 PCIs?

@Chthonian this is encouraging.....interested to know whether you tested as purely standalone or utilising ASIO / with a DAW.....

That’s ideal that it can support such powerful CPUs. Ok only one PCI connector but I can dedicate that to use for my digital connections. Ok I want have many DSPs as compared to the 3 card setup but the speed will help with the speed required by todays DAWs

I can confirm the system is working rock solid in my studio. zero problems so far.

Are you using the Intel Core i5-14500
