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 these in my rig and they are very quiet, average airflow.
The site selling them is very fair on the shipping charge as well.
OCZ power supplys suck, check out their forums, Multiple units fail months after RMA. I recently RMA'd a 600 Stealthstream because it had a noisy fan and it was spaztic, in all their infinite wisdom they sent me the same make unit that had the same noisy fan. I did another RMA and received the...
Good power supply on the cheap. Same company that makes the Thermaltake 430 TR2 that has sold more units than any other on Newegg I believe.

Not unless you want to replace that power supply after it fails in a month or so. Get the PCP&C 750 Silencer, great PS I have 1.

Everybody thinks electrical noise is coil whine these days, I doubt it. Thanks for the troll/ubergeek correction on using the word form instead of factor.:D
Its your powersupply, I had this happen with a clear logisys 550 that was a great looking unit but performed terribly. Get a good Thermaltake, Corsair or PCP&C and never look back. Your computer will thank you for it.
I second this deal.

Don't wait, might sell out.
As far as I know the Egg tests open box parts before sending them out. Pass on that deal, the clock speeds are low. Instead get this, best bang for buck, maybe 5-10 bux more after adding shipping cost to the Biostar...brand new and 5 Egg rating, and oh yeah... probably around 30-50% faster...
I recently did an Advanced Replacement with EVGA for an 8800 GS that was making a buzzing noise. First card they sent was an 8800 GS that had texture corruption while in 3D mode. I called them up and they sent me a 9800 GT overnight that would luck up every time I booted to desktop after loading...
