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.

Also try using the latest drivers...

I am curious how high you guys have gone on your overclocking of the 9600 GT. I am currently at 750 MHz for the GPU and 975 MHz (1950 effective) for the memory using nTune but NVIDIA MonitorView shows it at 972 MHz. My temperature ranges from 47-50°C according to NVIDIA MonitorView but usually...
I got my XFX 9600 GT yesterday and installed it today. My 3DMark06 is hilarious. Going from a 256 MB 5700 LE and 150 points, I am now at 6000+, LMFAO!!!
