Hi, today i have updated CPU from i58400 to i911900k, also from msi z370 to gigabyte z590 autus elite ax.

First scan in CE now more faster, i think 3x fasters. But the, next scan, exactly - second scan, change value or increase, no matter, - more and more slower than it was on i5. CE show message that "still prcessing", and take many time for rescan. Dont't know why. Drivers on motherboard are all updated. SSD the same. All CE setings the same as it was for i5. PC work too now faster - so as i think CPU is fine.

I used Windows 11 also, but when tested i5 last time, t was too Windows 11.

That's hard disk speed. Perhaps the controller the SSD is connected to is slower.

or you click next scan too soon because the scan finished quicker (still ssd bottleneck, you just notice is quicker now)

Don't forget the usual culprit for disk access slowdown: anti virus

it's possible an anti virus is scanning the scanresult files to make sure CE didn't just write a virus to the temp folde

Also check CE settings. By default it writes to C: drive temp folder, if that's not where your fastest SSD is, change it.

Also, make sure you use 16KB scanbuffer (yes, smaller than the default is better).
Lastly, the transaction rate on your i9's RAM might be higher (2) than what you had in your i5's RAM (1?). Often times downclocking allows for a better rate. Loot for the big T in your RAM settings. 1T is faster than 2T, even at lower clocks.

Finally, today I changed the motherboard to another one under warranty and started the computer.
Now I am using asus z590 tf gaming plus (no wi-fi version), and i9 11900k.

After some tests I have this result -
1) 3-4 seconds for the first scan (float, unknown, found 2.000.000.000
2) then wait 10 -13 seconds
3) then a second scan taking 3-4 seconds (remains about 1.000.000.000)

Disabling antivirus (Eset) had no effect. Installing 16Kb instead of 512Kb did not affect either.
I have all 3 SSD drives, 1 Tb each.

The board that I returned was squeaking heavily with throttles, (gigabyte z590 autus eliteax), and also had to wait 40 seconds with it to start the second scan. On the new asus motherboard, there are also some squeaky chokes, but at least not so loud.

Maybe it's her fault with scan (i mean gigabyte z590 autus eliteax and 40 seconds).

Now I understand, you just need to wait ~10 seconds, and this is the norm for CE. Thanks everyone.

Must have been really crap mobo if replacing it actually made a difference Laughing

That money would have been well-spent on getting a gen4 NVME SSD, lightning fast. I use that and my specs are pretty pathetic compared to yours (still on a gtx970 lol) but the scanning speed is awesome.

Also you will notice a massive difference if you trash that antivirus. I can't believe how people sacrifice so much performance just for some protection against imaginary threats.
