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 think you are experiencing a common enough affliction ... I believe happens to all of us making transition from CRT to LCD. When I first started working on LCD, my eyes felt the same. Now, they're used to it. I move between CRT and LCD without a problem, but now, I seem to notice the CRT...

I acquired the 2405FPW primarily for the real-estate. I do alot of work on my own business, some casual gaming, and I need as much space as I can squeeze without making the resolutions so high as to make the text neglible. Currently, I use a dual CRT setup and it's not enough. The primary...
I ordered mine on September 8 ... according to this, that means that mine won't be shipped until the 20th. Oi!
