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.
X2. My evga 970 ssc runs cool also. It is nice with the standard profile that shuts the fans off for silent mode.
With that said I went ahead and made a custom fan profile to keep it nice and cool while gaming. Still the fans only get around 55% and my temperature is around 55C.
Just ordered an EVGA 970 SSC. From newegg. Hopefully no issues with it. Then I'll make someone a good deal on a used r9 290.
Have wanted to try nvidia for a while now.
I am thinking about doing kinda a side upgrade.
currently have a reference R9 290 and just want to try Nvidia and considering the Gigabyte 970.
Is there any difference between the 2 cards currently offered by them, other than the clock speed?
thanks!
