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 have recently considered the Giga GA-K8NF-9 but others have suggested the Foxconn NF4UK8AA-8EKR instead as it NF4 Ultra not just 4X. Is anyone using one of these and has views on it? Overclocking ability not essential but stability/reliability is for this noobie ;)
I want one too but can't afford/justify the cost to my wife. :p
As a non-raid system (windows and apps only) disk, will the 36Gb be enough though? If it's not going to be faster than a decent 7200 then i'll just get an 80Gb 7200 SATA instead.
Are rumours of a 36Gb V2 Raptor just that...
Had a good look around and found that it's pretty difficult to find an ATX v2 PSU that still has a -5v line on it(Especially in Oz - Antec seem to have the market covered). I'll just have to hope the standard sound chip works ok without it.
In the mean time, I'll have to wait for the Neo4 to...
Thanks Arvig, I'll have to check if the (non-SLI) MSI Neo4 Platinum has the Soundblaster chip or not.
I'm just researching at the moment as they haven't even arrived in Australia yet! Other (available) choice is Gigabyte K8NXP-9 but I'm not convinced by that one as no one seems to be posting...
