Problem will resolve after load BIOS optimized default setting.

Yes, both model will support CPU Smartfan function.

Our BIOS has a munu for setting the Smartfan or it can run automatically.

Intel H55 chipset will not be able to support 3TB hard drive with full disk space.

It's due to chipset specification limitation.

Also to support 3TB hard drive need to have UEFI BIOS.
However our H55 model uses AMI core 8 BIOS.

So it will not be able to support full 3TB disk space.
