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.
Thats all I'm saying. Right now, not many games can benefit for 2 more cores. Also, dual cores o/c a lot better than quads. A lot of people are running up to 4.5ghz for daily use now.
I have the same setup as you, q6600 and p5q pro, and I use the xigmatek hdt-s1283. It's pretty good, but supposedly the ocz vendetta 2 is a few hairs cooler.
I cant get this to work on 32bit vista. Says I need to be on an admin account and the driver wont load. I am on an administrative account though. Any ideas?
Edit: got it working. :)
the standoffs are brass, and come with the case. i have the same case.
They go underneath the motherboard, then the motherboard gets screwed into the standoffs.
