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.

Hello!
I just installed the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme on my E8500 . I chose the thermalright because of all the great reviews I read, how it was "the next best thing to watercooling", how it had idle temps of 35 degrees. Well last night I put it on. My idle has been around 55 C (tho right...
