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.

Will that do 5.1 surround over spdif optical? that is really my only...
I completely understand your sourness toward the board, I have had my share of DOA junk before. I appreciate your input, and will definitely take that in to account.
Thanks for the quick response,
Is there any real advantage of the asus or gigabyte boards? or does it just come down to brand preference?
Thanks again!
I have a budget of around 600 dollars, and I have two options I have been looking at. I would like BD playback, and my TV is 720p, but I may upgrade to 1080p at some point in the future. I will be moving in to an apartment around Philly for graduate school soon, and want to get a HTPC for my...
