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.

MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II vs. Reference Radeon HD 6870
Okay I was just worried that my CPU wouldn't OC as well if I decide to do so later if I had the 470. That's good to know. Also do you really think my case will be that loud? As far as preferences go when it comes to features it's basically just whatever benefits me more while gaming. I mostly...- Board86

MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II vs. Reference Radeon HD 6870

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
Okay great. That keeps a cheap case open as an option still haha. All of the others are about $80-$90 give or take a few. The HAF912 is only $50 though. I was thinking I could just add a top 200MM fan and a side 120MM fan, giving it a total of 4 fans for a total cost of $66 (Coolermaster...- Board86

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
Haven't had any information regarding its length but most people seem to compare it to the 5970. My guess is it will be about 30cm (12 inches) long based on what I have been told. That certainly cuts down on my list of potential cases lol. Are you certain about the HAF 912 with its removable...- Board86

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
Update: Trying to figure out which case would be best for me now. I've built up quite a list since I've been looking around last night. The HAF 912 seems to be a nice, cheap choice. I've also been looking at the HAF922. I'll just list my now gigantic list of choices below as I've gotten...- Board86

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
Oh I just noticed however that the -E only has 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16) and 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (@x4 mode, 2.5GT/s, black slot). Most cards I've looked at were single at x16 or dual at x8/x8. Would that make a difference for me since I plan to use two video cards?- Board86

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
I get a load of people recommending the P7P55D-E Pro. Maybe I should be getting that instead haha. Though I plan to Xfire two 6870s so maybe it'd make more sense to get the regular P7P55D-E. Don't live in America so no special deals for me. :(- Board86

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
Oh I know what you mean... I'm just wondering now what would be a better option instead of the Sabertooth. At the moment I don't know when I would need those new features.. but I guess it doesn't make a lot of sense to pay for something that lacks them ha. Would one of the P7P55D motherboards be...- Board86

Final Thoughts: Gaming Rig Build
Is the Seagate really that much slower? From reviews I looked at it seemed to be just below the other brands in the same category, though actually was faster than them all as far as game load times was concerned (my biggest concern). If so... my only other options are the Western Digital FAEX...- Board86

New Gaming Build
Okay after getting a lot of recommendations from various people to use an i5 760 CPU with 4GB of DDR3 1333 RAM and doubling up on my video cards with either 2x Radeon 6870 or 2x NVidia 460 GTX (OC'd); I've been trying to select a new motherboard. I'm having difficulty deciding which is best...- Board86

Wow thank you very much for the informed reply! This is the sort of answers I've been looking for actually. Obviously I don't know what I'm doing lol. Regarding the CPU issue: I've been using this http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html to judge what's best for me. However I admit I'm...- Board86
