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 recently completed a Conroe E6600 build using an Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi board. I've been lucky enough to have very few problems, and the whole setup went pretty smoothly. My system's stability and performance have been great thus far, but I have one (very minor) issue that I haven't been able to...
I recently finished a Conroe E6600 build, and I'm using an Asus P5B Deluxe (with WiFi because I couldn't find any of the non-WiFi Deluxe boards). It's a little overpriced, but I'm very pleased with it's features and performance. About the only bad thing I can say about it is that it doesn't...
I bought a week 28 E6600, which by my count, would have been July 9-15th. Hopefully everyone had recovered from the fourth of July by then... :D
Seriously though, I suspect that the actual variance in manufacture quality from week to week is extremely minimal. If anything, the chips would...
Hey everyone. On a related topic, I've been buying components for a new build for the last week or so, and the only thing that's left for me to get is the motherboard (Asus P5B Deluxe w/ WiFi). The place I want to get it from it out right now. I spoke with the person there who said that they had...
A few things that looked good about the deluxe:
- Firewire. Although it may be getting a little rarer with the onset of SATA ports these days, I do use some external devices (HD's, DV Cameras) that use it. A port on the back isn't really neccesary, but it would be nice to have a mobo that at...
Thanks for the feedback! PWMK2, I really only picked Lite-on because Hard included their drive in their "budget OC" system. Which manufacturers would you recommend as a better alternative? 454Casull, I would have probably gone with the 6400 initially, but I thought that doubling the cache would...
I bought one of those 7900GT's too. I was actually assuming that there would only be a couple per store, but there were probably at least four on the shelves when I was there.
So I've put together a component outline for a multipurpose rig that I'm building for gaming and general use (i.e. storing my music, some light digital photography work, web surfing, etc.). I'm not planning on doing any serious OCing, but it would be nice to have that option. My current computer...
Just in case there are any Canadians out there looking for a 7900GT, Future Shop has a pretty good deal (believe it or not) on a BFG 7900GT 256mb for their Labour Day weekend sale. They have it for $319.99 CDN plus a $50 mail-in rebate, taking the price down to $269.99 CDN. The price is $279.99...
I was looking at the P5W DH on NCIX, and it indicates that it may require a BIOS update using a non-Conroe processor before you would be able to boot it with Conroe. If that's true, that would be a problem as I don't have a spare non-Conroe 775 processor. As far as you know, is this true...
Hi. I've been looking at some different ASUS mobos for a new E6600 build, and can't decide on one. They seem to be relatively similar in price and features, but seem to have a few small differences here and there. I'm leaning towards the Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe, as it has most of the features I...
