Audio popping issue

Yeah, stock. I would be too nervous to overclock it or anything like that. Though maybe it has some dynamic form of it? I wouldn't know, but I highly doubt I've pushed it much. It's interesting to hear that CPU was really nice for its time; I didn't even realize what I was picking back then. I guess that's how everything's survived this long, haha, since January 2011. I just kept procrastinating on getting anything new besides the graphics card and RAM.

Oh, speaking of, this is the RAM, along with other things, just to have it all together:
CPU: Intel Core i7-920, 2.66 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970, 4 GB
RAM: 12 GB Triple Channel DDR3, PC3-10700 667 MHz (9-9-9-24)

Anyway, sounds like you were onto something, but not, huh...technically, it could be anything.

It was a monster cpu for the price when it launched. Hmm, I believe it was 180 dollars for the one my partner was using and held stable overclock of 4 ghz until the board experienced demise. The cpu never became unstable, I still have that cpu and a spare for server hosting. You even have proper triple channel twelve gig config. Aye, I believed there may have been lack of memory bandwidth but that is definitely not issue as everyone who put memory information is running well within spec (quite close to what myself and partner are currently using).

If it were I could have suggested enabling xmp, tweaking timings, purchasing second stick if running in single channel for anyone willing until Square fixes software reason for issue.

Slightly off topic-ish? Overclocking on X58 is not too difficult if you ever wish to attempt some day. You can easily gain 30+% performance increase on those 920s without having to touch voltages. They will run nice and toasty though! Must have decent cooling (I used all in one liquid cooling then later noctua nh-d15).

Also aye, even the old 920 had turbo boosting as all modern cpus do. Partner's overclocked 920 regularly turboed to 4.2 ghz while undervolted. Would give Bloomfield S-tier, it was not bad.

Real permanent solutions for this are down to software and would be fantastic if Square were willing to post the specifications of their testing setups. This would help us tremendously!

I've seen some people complain in shout channel, novice network about PS4 stutter, possibly PS5 as well. Mostly complaining about how noticeable in the newest content in raid 4 majority. I haven't found any videos about it, but I will link any I come across.

Many thanks! Am curious about the consoles because PS4 uses Jaguar(based upon Bulldozer aka FX architecture if am remembering correctly) and PS5 uses Ryzen cpu and both are within systems reported suffering from audio stuttering.
