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 couldn't get prime stable until I followed these settings-
DFI Bios settings
I was stable for about 4 hours until I made the changes listed.
Now I can run overclocked under full load for 24hrs. (All that I tested.)
I'm wondering if [H] should re-test with different BIOS settings...
:p Yes I was referring to dba. I really should take some more Engwish and speling classes. :p
Not to nitpick, but the 6500 model that he linked to is listed as +-5% in the manual.
I'll probably go with the Sparkle though as I've found numerous threads on how noisy the Zippy's are.
I'm suprised you said that.
Zippy is +-5% load, +-1%line, 100mV ripple max. 71% efficiency. Temp 0-40c
Sparkle is +5%-4% load, +-1%line, 120mV ripple. 63% efficiency. Temp 0-25c
I was ready to order the Zippy, but I still haven't found any info on noise.
If the Sparkle was that much...
The web site, owners manual, etc has no specs for noise or connections, except that there is 2.03,ATX12V(P4),EPS12V,WTX,AMD-GES.
So how many 4plug connections, I'm assuming it is 24pin because of the EPS12v, how many SATA power connections, is there any 6pin for pci-e, etc?
