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.

Blue screens everywhere suddenly
Yeah, I'm gonna test it on stock for a while, see what happens. If it's stable, then I suppose I'll just have to go with a milder overclock, or none at all. It perplexes me how an overclock can be stable for 2 months and then just decide to die. Not like I was using extreme voltages or crappy...- -Doug-

Overclocking Coverage Available From Intel
Can Intel really tell if your processor was overclocked if you were to send it in for a replacement? (Assuming there is no visible physical damage of course...) Also, isn't it fairly rare for a processor to fail as long as you're not pushing it way past its limit? And if someone is pushing it...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
One of the reasons why it was hard for me to notice, was because I was using an H100. Since the H100 isn't powered by the CPU fan header, I didn't notice anything out of whack over there. However, upon connecting a regular fan to what I thought was the CPU_FAN header, it wouldn't run. Then I...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
slava_p: I don't think you have the same issue as me. CPU_LED did not light up for me, and I only saw 00 Q-LED once, out of the hundreds of times I've played around while I had the issue. Been too busy to respond to this thread, sorry about that. Anyway, I fixed the issue. It's not a problem...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Update from my end: ASUS could not reproduce my issues using my board and CPU, so they shipped my stuff back to me. It should be here around Thrusday/Friday. I've seen at least four other people having this problem and I've still got no idea as to what causes it. When I get my board/CPU...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Just a note, ASUS seems to be aware of the issues that I've been having, and they seem to realize that it's not just me. From ASUS forums:- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Yeah, I'm just gonna wait it out. If I have to wait 2 months then so be it. My computer works normally once it's booted, so it's not a huge issue. That's not to say I'm not pissed, I am, but what else can I do.. Oh and Corsair responded to my support ticket. They basically said, here's the RMA...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Another update: I called ASUS, and they said they won't have any in stock for at least 15 days, and that I should call back 15 days from now and ask again. You've got to be kidding me... I'm pissed off to the extreme right now.- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Just when I thought things were going well, I got an email from ASUS: "I am sorry to inform you that there is no stock available for the advanced replacement. Please feel free to send it in for a regular rma." ...........Great, just... Great. They didn't event asked me if I wanted to wait if...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Update from my end: I tried swapping out just about everything (except the CPU, and that will the the absolute last resort), and I'm going to assume it is indeed the motherboard. With my luck, and given that there's somebody here having the same problem, I don't doubt I got two duds in a row...- -Doug-

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Boot Issues
Wow, in a way, I'm relieved. I don't feel alone anymore! So, scurry, what do you plan on doing next? Replacing the motherboard? Have you contacted ASUS at all? Being that we both are experiencing the same issue with mostly different parts, I'm beginning to suspect the motherboard once again...- -Doug-

I have tried 1.0, and the result I listed ~2 posts ago. Edit: Now that it's Friday, I need some chill time. Gonna play some Skyrim and will definitely try out swapping PSUs later tonight.- -Doug-
