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.
It's more a general small case problem. Low airflow + lots of blockages means worse cooling. And the tiny space makes it easier to make the mistakes they did (improper paste application).
I missed that the copper top is already available but I can't find info on selecting a "normal" top cover other than black. The order form just asks for one color, the body color.
I have an ncase already but if I didn't and were buying a case today I'd buy this.
Why is black the only top cover option? Why not ones to match the body?
Also I want it just for the copper top cover.
PCP gives a list of Z87/97 mITX boards, and it's pretty short. How much of a difference is there between the most expensive (Maximus Impact) and the cheaper boards? They range from $120 to $170, to the $210 of the Impact. I can't seem to find any documentation on how exactly mobo overclocking...
