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.
I installed an Intel 320 120GB in my Lenov and am very happy with it. I put an M4 in my desktop but the laptop isn't SATA 3 which is why I went with the Intel 320 in my laptop. I don't know benchmark minutia but subjectively it is worlds faster than the original HD
"I feel like punching myself in the face for having paid $200+ for 300GB HDDs a few years back lol"
heck, way back when i can remember paying over $300 for a 340 MEGA byte drive to supplement my original 210MB; I thought it was huge!
I got an Intel Intel PWLA8391GT 10/100/1000Mbps PCI PRO/1000 $26.99 Newegg.OEM no driver. Installed to WHS. Used motherboard NIC to go online and it found, downloaded, and installed the driver (driver said "Pro/1000" driver). Works perfectly. WHS now noticably faster than with onboard (Atheros)...
Looks good. On my Asus MB the multiplier would drop when idling because of power saving, so I disabled it in BIOS. My temps also run low 30s idle and low 50s load. My (Corsair) memory will run 4-4-4-12 if I up DRAM voltage to 2.1. vCore 1.375; FSB 1.400; NB 1.450; SB 1.50; ICH auto; vDRAM 2.1v.
