Yeah the 10 port 120W hub is better than the 7port one I thought you had, but its still only 2.1A per port. I've had no end of trouble testing different hubs and only the Gekkoscience ones work reliably in my experience.
For reference, mine pull 2.7A per port on GekkoScience hub.

what do you use to get the power consumption reading per port ?
Little USB ampmeters that you plug between the stick and the hub's USB port.

Processor   AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor -  4.12 GHz  (24.7GHz total)
Sorry, but this I've never seen! Grin You add the frequencies of your CPU cores? That's funny.

Is it ?? well, if you prefer 6x 4.12 GHz
Yeah; after all, it makes a large difference if you have an old Xeon with e.g. 32 cores each running at 1GHz (ballpark numbers) and say you've got a 32GHz CPU opposed to a modern i5 with 8 cores each running 4GHz. That's because even today, lots of applications are purely single-threaded. So if they demand a bit more performance, having tons of cores won't help.
But that's OT - your CPU is perfectly fine! Just nitpicking..
