RAM is 16GB of DDR4 at 2400MHz.
CPUs are reporting 70°C.
The CPU status report in CAM is reporting "core clock: 3990 MHz". Does this mean it is self-throttling rather than maintaining 4.2GHz?...

Unexplained slowdown (affinity problem?)
New I7-7700K 4.2GHz system running Windows 10 arrived yesterday.
I set it to work on a doublecheck, and was seeing between 3 and 3.5 ms per iteration. (And was happy. Benchmark confirmed it was...

It is M46473709. Apparently there was already some weirdness in that it was either tested twice, or just reported twice, by the anonymous initial tester. (But it didn't make it into the list for...

New computer - first exponent is a mismatch

P-1 stage 1 only
