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.
Anyone here have any comment on the VRM cooling?

I'm really digging the Seidon, i wasn't expecting a closed loop being available under 90 dollars
but i see a few reviewers grumbling about it when its pushed? How well does it handle overclocking chips? How is that 120M version? Whats funny is it looks like that sucker has a rebate active right...

at 37 pages long what is the forum's verdict on this monster with regards to gaming? ghosting too much or tolerable? by range of tolerable lets say for a guy who usually goes barely above 1:1 k/d in casual fps matches, not trying to win tournaments on CS:GO here
also the monitor is 700 bux at...
how big is the strix anyway? Is it actually 3 expansion slots-wide? What kind of motherboards have PCI-e slots that leave 1 slot's worth of space for something like that?
Wow these comments are absolutely fantastic, it really gives me a lot of perspective compared to what i could scrounge on my own yesterday
Keep the insights coming!
Oh great and wise [H]ard men, please tell this big dummy, who cant decide what to buy after a day's worth of research, what to buy

Well i finally got around to separating almost everything connected to the motherboard.
I placed the mobo on non-conducting platform and retained the CPU, one RAM stick, and video card attached the mobo along with psu, and i only retained the motherboard's connection with the case's power...
No, i did not try a different CPU. I don't have a spare unless i bogart something from one of the other computers.
In any case i don't have any thermal paste to reapply.
And no, i neglected to take the components out of the case. I know i'm cutting corners and that such is anathema to...
My most sincere apologies to you guys for not coming back to the thread until now... especially since i was the one coming to you for help. I was pulled for a weekend project but now i can focus on this.

I don't even know the difference between rendering 1 and 2 but dips show something weird right?
