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.

Well, I just got a different drive from a friend. It's also a raptor. Went ahead and reformatted it and started installing SC2. Worked flawlessly. Uninstalled, reinstalled. Perfectly flawless again. And did it again. Same result. Now here's the weird part. At that point I hadn't...
Just built a sandy bridge system, i5 2500k, asus p8p67 deluxe, gskill ripsaw 8gb ram, pcp&c psu. I kept my old 150gb WD raptor though. I have this plugged into the SATA 3Gb/s ports.
Reformatted drive with Windows 7 after I installed the new hardware. On first reformat, computer was locking...
Just got a pc power and cooling silencer 950w today and hooked it up. For some reason the sata, pcie, 24pin and 4pin 12v connectors are all working fine, but the 4 pin peripheral connectors are not giving any power at all. I've got 2 cables and neither of them work. Plugged in hard drives and...
