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 that mystery is solved.. As funny as it sounds I haven't found a voltage monitor for windows since MBM was discontinued,.. Could use a good suggestion there, actually. Anyway, pulled up Sandra to see if it could monitor voltages and apparently my 12v line is at 11.48 volts at idle!! I've...
