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.
Mine is silent as well. Happy with it now, however, I had the older style mounting kit and had to shim the backplate with some rubber spacers in order to properly set the block to the cpu. Without the shims it was simply not tight enough for proper cooling. I also ended up removing the TIM and...
Got it mostly running last night at stock speeds. Updated the ASRock bios to 1.6 before I installed windows. Had to reseat the memory a couple of time to get the entire 6gb recognized which worries me, but it's working fine now. Ran prime95 all night without problems. That case is REALLY nice...
I finally got all of the parts in (besides the SSD which will be here tomorrow) for my new build!
This is what I choose...
Lian Li PC-K62B Case ($120) Mwave (from ebay)
ASRock X58 Extreme MB ($170) Newegg
Intel i7-920 CPU ($292) Mwave
Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3 1600 ($145 AR) Newegg
Corsair 850HX...
I got lucky and found a 5850 in stock at mwave.com on Monday. It was only in stock for about 10 or 15 minutes but I was lucky enough to get an order in. It should be here today. It's a Sapphire brand but who cares. I was shocked to see it in stock. It was really just dumb luck on my part. Keep...
I got lucky and found a Sapphire 5850 in stock at an etailer (for about 15 minutes) on Monday. Should be here tomorrow :D They sure didn't last long and it was dumb luck I was able to grab one.
I am going to save and wait for a 5850, I don't see much point in going with the 5770 right now. I'll either delay building this thing or use one of my 8800gt's until I can get a 5850 if I just can't wait to put it all together. I building this more for pleasure, and like I just told my brother...
I went with the 850HX I just really like that PS for some reason. I think I'm going to go with Corsair ram as well. The XMS3 CAS 8 is only $160 with a $10 rebate and free shipping. That will leave me about $180 to $200. I'm still trying to decide what to do on the video card.
