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.

Though I'm not sure how far I can push the OC in a SFF case.
Also, I don't have much experience in OCing. The current computer I have is utter crap when I try anything with it. (One...
There are times I feel like overclocking, but it wouldn't kill me without it.
They are a variations of Western Digital Caviar Black/Blue and Scorpio Black/Blue. All of them are at least a year old.
CAD and USD are pretty much on par after charges, so the relative pricing shouldn't matter. =P
They are all 7,200 RPM, ranging from 250 to 1 TB.
The patriots are 1.7v, and the corsairs are 1.65v.
Yay for first post asking how to build computers. =LD
>> totally not implying that I won't be active on the forums trololol.
1. What will you be doing with this PC?
The primary one will be used for photoshop and maya. I don't game too much now-a-days, but if I do, its EvE 90% of the time...
