    Cores 1 and 5 on each of the cpus is running 76-77 while all the other cores on both cpus are 68-72. That seem strange? Where in the bios do I find the setting for the fans? I am missing it.

    Look for a Thermal menu under the Power main menu.

    Thank you!! Another question, should I use Enhanced Intel Turbo Boost Technology? It is currently disabled in the bios.

    Only if you want it to peak at 3.33Ghz instead of 2.93Ghz

    Hmm, that does not sound like a bad thing.

    They will not run too hot, so that they allow damage to themselves. Run them as hot as you want, until they start self-throttling.

    Good to know. I've seen one core hit 83c. Most of the others are in the low 70's.. How does everyone feel about moving from Win. 7 pro to Win 10 on this box?

    You will see that from time to time depending on the project and usually only under the passively cooled cpu...though you're running an HP and it may have a different cooling solution. As Z said, until you see throttling or errors, don't worry about it. The processors will shut down prior to damage. So, how are you liking the 24 threads so far? I love mine.

    Personally, I'm not a Win 10 fan, but I'm old and crotchety. The only computer I run it on is my laptop and only because I lost the ability to access all my music when I reverted back the Win 7.

    I love the box. Can't wait to crank it up on a real challenge. I was on PG but I'm on WCG now. Let's see what this can do. I want to upgrade a few badges over there.

    Don't sell yourself short, you need to upgrade all of your WCG badges! Now you have something to help you do that fairly quickly. I knew you would like it, the most bang for the crunching buck out there! So when do you buy the next one?
