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.
Upgraded to a 4K monitor, have no need for this one. Paid $800+ a couple of years ago for this Dell, it has no issues, no dead pixels.
Looking for $200 local to CT/NYC area so I can avoid shipping. If someone must have it, and is willing to pay for shipping, then PM me and I will consider if...
I know, I was forced to learn about it after I started to get BSODs. It is crazy that ASUS let that BIOS go out to retail products.
My heart dropped as I read threads talking about how it was such a shitty version, that just so happens to be what shipped with my mobo.
I left everything on AUTO...
It was too late, AUTO on that BIOS I blame for frying the CPU. Thankfully Microcenter allowed me to RMA it and I now have a new one.
The idea that as a user I should know not to trust AUTO is INSANE.
I have had my system up for less than a week and am scared my ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO may have fried/damaged my CPU.
I started getting instability issues yesterday and have discovered the stock bios 1001 has been setting my AUTO voltage > 1.40 :(
I have been putting off tweaking anything...
I'm with this guy. Buy a 980ti if you are going to buy anything.
I went to a 980 G1 from my 690 and considered it a worthy upgrade. Sli-profiles get old fast.
Hybrid = watercooled. Max temp is 45-50C
I was going edit my stock BIOS to raise Max (mW) in power table to bump it up to 120 as a start. Good idea, yes, no?
I am a novice when it comes to using modified BIOS to get better OCing. I currently have a EVGA 980ti hybrid ASIC 76.6% that I have gotten pretty stable at 1501/7800 with just using Afterburner, but want to try and take it further...
Adding voltage in Afterburner isn't getting me any better...
Weird, I just received my hybrid over the weekend and don't have any water/pump noise at all. I even have the case open to listen for coilwine and not a peep. Maybe I just got lucky.
