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.

FYI - They also have a combo deal that takes an additional $10 off any Crucial PC Memory with purchase of a motherboard. I bought 2x of these 16 GB sets with an Asus motherboard and received...
Great to hear - I definitely started to worry a bit. 4:28 EST and I haven't seen or heard anything yet! But now that others have actually received theirs, hopefully mine will follow shortly.
UPDATE: Just received my email @ 4:37 PM EST. Time to get started!
I'm also still waiting for my CD Key (1:36 PM EST). As the previous poster said, we were promised a delivery by 5 PM EST today. I remain hopeful that it will show up by then. I'm stuck in training until 4:30 anyways, so no need for the key sooner.
Just wanted to share my experience with...
Just a heads up for everyone. If you order this, you won't receive the CD Key until May 14th. At least that's what he told me after I ordered from him. I figured I should point it out to everyone because he never mentioned it at any point during the transaction, and it kind of caught me off...
I mailed my rebate information out on Dec 6th. Just checked, and the rebate website status shows that they are still awaiting receipt of documentation. I know these places tend to be a little slow, but 13 days after mailing is a bit worrisome.
Anyone else experience a similar delay?
Gotta agree with the previous poster. I bought this phone 2 months ago. It's OK, but definitely has memory issues and acts very sluggishly at times.
But if you really want a Windows Mobile phone, it might be a good first choice for you.
D0 is a newer stepping that supposedly can hit the same frequencies at a lower temp than C0.
But in my experience reading through forums, it seems to be hit or miss. The i7 rocks either way -- I'm just not so sure that the D0 is anything noticeably better than the C0.
I have the same cooler as you, and I had issues with the CPU running too hot at load with 3.6+ GHz overclock. After experimenting a bunch with the amount and pattern of applied thermal paste, I finally got my temps down into the mid 70º's under load.
But to get there, I had to attach the HSF...
