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.

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.

My PSU is 750W Seasonic SS-750AM2 and two separate 6pin cables are leading from the PSU to the GPU.
At first i thought it was normal since that game is demanding, but then i saw...
I recently started using the various bootable anti-virus/malware scanners, like the Kaspersky's Rescue Disk.
However i am really interested in how do these bootable scans compare to the "normal" Windows run scans.
For example, would a maximum scan from Kaspersky Rescue Disk find as many...
I was recently cleaning my sisters laptop from all the regular junk people get their computers infected by.
She was not using any kind of anti-virus or anti-malware so there is a lot of junk, and formatting the pc is not an option at this moment.
