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.
Just so you know..

Ok but they could have prioritized the layout so that you could ATLEAST run 2 GPUs in SLI/CF @ x16 and use a highend air CPU cooler.
Or dunno, then remove one slot or something, because it's simply not acceptable for a top of the line motherboard. Other cheap motherboards can do it.
So with this MB it's not possible to use a highend air CPU cooler like the Silver Arrow and a GPU on the top x16 slot?
It really sucks if that's the case, it's beyond me how a top of the line MB can be limited in such a way.
