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.
I have heard about that too, but I thought only Asus boards with nForce 4 chipset were affected.
Theoretically I do, but its from a no name brand and only 200W or so, and I don't want that PSU to die when I power up my system.
My old PSU (the one in my sig) died because of an over voltage in...
Well, I'm worrying because the same thing happened before and my old build was not able to boot with that PSU, although it booted fine with a different one. It received power like my new build but wouldn't beep either.
I got a problem with my new build. Although it is unfinished at this time (the RAM is missing) I tried to power it up and see what happens. As I hit the power button, the mainboard powered up - the status LED was red and the fans were spinning - and I thought, "Great, everything is fine, now you...
Could you please say a few words on how you set memory dividers on these boards? I think for the Asus board the setting is called "DRAM Frequency" and the Gigabyte calls it "System Memory Mutliplier" - I took this from the screenshots of the articles.
But how do these settings affect the...
Is there a performance hit when the RAM is not operating 1:1 with the FSB - besides the reduced speed of the RAM itself?
In other words, is it OK to use a memory divider or should you stay 1:1 at all costs?
My PSU is quite noisy, so I want to exchange its fans. But I'm completely new to modding a PSU and would like to read a tutorial on this topic. Does anybody know of a nice one?
But the power supply I currently have has 2.2A on the 5VSB and my system is running nice and stable. The only thing that is bugging me about that power supply is the noise, so I'm looking for a quieter one.
I heard that the DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra-D boards have problems working with the be quiet Straight Power power supplies - because of the missing -5V line.
I was planning on getting one of those power supplies, but am not sure after I heard about this. Can someone please say a few clearing...
