why do you need 12 cores? just curious if you plan to fold

yeah, file servers don't need a lot of cores but if you are hosting a multiplayer server you need a really powerful computer

well i updated the bios and no change

well i had a fail moment (fixing stuff at 4am is not a good idea) but i install an older bios update because i assumed the new one was at the top so i reupdated and we are all good now YAAY!
