Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I'm getting ready to throw my first build together and am using the AC pro as well with the E8400. I've read numerous ways as well. The AC pro has MX-2 on the bottom of it already and thought I read that since that is already on don't worry about the chip?
I bought a tube of the MX-2, so...
