• 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.

    Ideas for secure password changes?

    For example, on the HIPAA issue, would changing the password and giving it only to the user, but having the "change password on next logon" option checked be acceptable? Or to be HIPAA compliant would we need to have a password reset program so no tech (even temporarily) knows the password?

    Can my PSU handle a 780 gtx?

    As in the review shows total system power when they give those wattage numbers? So TBH my PC with that card will more likely be around 350-400W range because my CPU is one generation older but also a lower rated one then the one they used in the video card review?

    Can my PSU handle a 780 gtx?

    So if I got this right... 780 gtx review here says 351W @ load 2500k review here says = 153W @ load 504W + 100W for basic mb/fans/peripherals So a good rough guess would be 605W total power at max? That seem like a good rough estimate? If that is the case it seems like maybe I would want to...
