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.
Since you already own the game, you can download a NO-CD.exe I'm not sure about the rules here, so I won't link it. But make sure you make a backup of the original.exe so you can still get patches.
I'm fairly happy with my 680i SLi board from evga. I got this thing from newegg about two weeks ago and it easily overclocked with the e6600. However, about a week after I overclocked I started getting some problems. My computer would freeze up and become generally unstable while running games...
XP SP2
C2D 6600 running at 2.8ghz 1.21v 40'C Idle and 50-52'C underload
Memory is 4gb of corsair xms2 not OC'd
evga 8800GTX on the evga 680i - it's not OC'd but it's running hot 64'C Idle, up to 70-75'C ingame.
I've had the computer for about 2 weeks and everything has been running...
I have a Zalman 9500 on my evga 680i. I had to dremel the backside mounting tray to get the heatsink to sit properly. But it works really well, I'm sitting at a cool 39'C right now.
Yeah the stock fan is definately a POS and It wasn't the heatsink that was sitting incorrectly.. It just didn't do well at all... I just put in a Zalman 9500 today. (I had to dremel part of the pastic to get the mounting tray to fit on the 680i motherboard. so i wouldn't recommend this to...
I've also got an e6600 with the 680i sli mobo, stock fan that came with the c2d. According to nvidia's monitor program that came with ntune, I idle at 55C and about the same temp underload, close to 70C. My case has plenty of fans so it's not the air flow.
thanks guys, I sent an email to cancel, and I will call as soon as their offices open up monday morning.. :(
I'll just newegg the parts and hope that I can figure out how to install everything !
Crap.. they already charged my card. *sigh* this sucks. I hope it doesn't take them 6 weeks to give my money back. My fianace fees are going to be insane. :(
Most of the people around here seem to build their own systems, but I was just wondering if any have ever bought from ibuypower.com ?
I recently purchased a system and they have not been treating me with much respect. - When I call to inquire about my purchase status, they put me on hold for...
