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.
This is true, unfortunately. No one will pay this much for even a bnib 580 as that's what a bnib 670 cost. Sell your 580 for 275 or so and shell out the difference for a 670 FTW if possible. Save your pennies and pick up another one in a few months and you'll be good to go. The difference from...
Spill the juicy steakhouse details....
as for the buy it and return it guy, you sir, are part of the reason for restocking fees and RMA denials. :rolleyes:
There are going to be horror stories about every brand of gpu manufacturer. You've got to remember, people are much more likely to come forward to bash someone than they are to sing their praises. Lots of companies I find seem to have troubles with one particular model of card so it's always in...

Taking efficiency into account, you'll have no trouble running that setup. Even with a nice heavy overclock you'll still be only looking at ~80% of capacity under benching type conditions.
This is an amazing value for the money. It's a rebadged Enermax unit and jonnyguru gave it a nice review. This will handle that 480 sli setup no worries.

That being said I ran sli 480's with a 2600k @ 4.7 on an hx750...
I hope you get a good chip. Those H50's are meh imo. I'd certainly take a look at a rasa kit if you have the means to purchase one. They make some great entry level watercooling kits worthy of such a sexy chip. I've seen some very nice deals on NH-D14's lately as well which would also be a...
