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.

you defy benchmarks at every single hardware site there is :p can someone please answer my question? Would a single pci-e slot mobo be capable of using one of these for sli goodness on 1 slot?
yes it does. If you read the thread at AT you would see he previously said temp is linearly related to expected life time of a transistor and voltage is ^2 related. :p
