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 don't think anyone building the set ups mentioned in this review are your average Joe users.
These set ups are for the Extreme gamers who also happen to be Overclocking enthusiasts.
Like really, who's going to get 3 x 580's and run their CPU at stock?
Since you want to compare $1000 vs $1000
When are you going to compare 3 570's vs the 6990 + 6970?
And please overclock those 570's while you're at it.
3 GPU vs 3 GPU or is that not fair to your standards?
And according to the conclusion of the article, the sound levels must be un-bearable...
