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.
I just thought about this, but maybe it's a non-issue: Is anyone else worried about rattling noise or squeaking caused by the fan support? Maybe not at first, but after a month (or more) of vibrational stress, it'll show signs of wear.

Edit: I'm an idiot. So they made a slim with and without the new material?
So I just ordered one from Amazon for $20. I thought they said it was going to be more expensive?
I REALLY hope they bring the tip clearance over to all the other sizes. Basically, they need to start mass producing Sterrox (the material they designed to allow the spacing).
Alright guys... I may be thinking about this too much, but I want to connect a fan controller to the inside of the PSU to control the Noctua with a thermistor. It has been a while since I've built any circuits, but it looks like these exist on a chip already. I'm still researching different...
The connector is right next to a few caps, but you can pretty much just yank it out. Definitely drain it by holding the power button while it's unplugged. Not gonna lie, I was looking all around my apartment for some non-conductive tweezers, but couldn't find any and tried with the metal ones...
I just got my cable, and installed it earlier today with the A9x14 . Honestly, a lot of the noise was probably the grill, but now that it's in, I can't hear it at all. My CPU fan is the loudest fan again, which is also the A9x14 on the L9i. This is awesome. It did take a long time to slow...
