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.
yeh i would go with an active cooling system
i highly recommend the Thermalright xp90 or xp90c. w/ a 92 mm fan
i run mine on a crappy fx53 clamhammer and get 43-46 idle temps and 50-55 load w/ ambient temps at around 25-30
i upgraded to a 6800gt agp vid card from a 9800xt. with the 9800xt i was able to extend my desktop to my secondary monitor throught window or control center. I'm trying to accomplish the same thing with the 6800gt but nView doesn't have an option to do so. I've tryied UltraMon but it doesn't...
So when I play games they will occassionally stutter. It is only for a split second, but it can get rather annoying. Any ideas? Source games seem to do it more than BF2.
