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.
If you have room in your case, and can swing the money, the Noctua D-14 is the greatest thing since sliced bread. My opinion of course. :)
I've got my 2600k clocked at 4.4Ghz and it's idling at 29C. 100% load using Intel Burn Test, maximum, 8 threads it runs at 60C.
Stock 2600k at idle = 29C. Using a Noctua D14.
100% load at 4.2Ghz doing 54C. Anything above 4.2 and Windows won't start. Updating the bios today and hoping it helps.
Noctua DH-14 that is. Looks to me like the fan will cover up the first to dimm slots. Does anyone have a Noctua mounted on P67 mainboard? If so, how does it fit? Any pics?
Still using my E8500 at 3.96ghz.
I've been buying my parts and had plans of building an i7-950 but am now twisting in the wind wondering if I should go with Sandy Bridge or not.
I'll use it mostly for gaming, Everquest 2 and Rift. Not sure at this point if SB will be better or not.
