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.
From my knowledge of shipping and receiving it is generally customary to put a packing slip in the box. It would have the information you need to contact the vendor or even the manufacturer themselves and return them. It's honestly the right thing to do. That's just a little over $13k in that...
Just wanted to post an update to this and let everyone know I have so far raised $105 out of the $1000 goal I set for myself in the Extra Life charity event. All the money raised goes to children's hospitals all over the world to provide quality medical care for children in low or no income...
Figured some of my fellow [H] members would be down for this. However, I'm not exactly sure this is within forum rules but I didn't see anything specific about posting for charity events so here goes.

Guess what I meant was, if air and closed loop cooling are similarly priced why would you go with air?
I would have setup a custom loop at the time but a full watercooled rig is a fair bit MORE expensive and way higher maintenance than just buying a closed loop unit for your CPU. I do have...
Problem being with high end air, you also have to deal with the weight of that giant heatsink constantly putting strain on your board. I'm no stranger to high end air coolers, ran them for years and swore by them. Though if I'm dropping $500 on a motherboard there is no way that I would want to...
They are probably assuming that if you are willing to purchase a top of the line mobo, you'll also invest in a good cooling solution. This board is designed for overclockers, and most of them use watercooling setups. Not all but most, if they're serious about it.
Besides, closed loop CPU...
Good news for me, I already have the drivers installed. Just waiting for UPS to deliver my second 7970 and my new 144Hz monitors. Hate that for some reason they almost never deliver to my house before 6pm...
So, here's the deal. I'm looking to upgrade my monitors as a birthday present to myself since most people in my family aren't very tech savvy and wouldn't know what to look for. I currently have:
2x Acer G235HAbd 24", 5ms, 60Hz, 1920x1080
They work well enough and aren't terrible by any...
I would love to see a case with a paint job almost like car and maybe with paint that reacts to certain light spectrums, could make for some really interesting lighting setups as well. Black and a dark metallic red would be way cool, and the same goes for a dark metallic blue or green. Could do...
So Razer has released a mechanical gaming key pad called the Orbweaver. My question is, what type of mechanical keys does it use? I'm assuming MX Blue switches like the Blackwidow Ultimate, but I could be wrong and I couldn't find anything on Google to answer that question.
Reason I ask is...
So this is a big head ache for me. I would really like to have the Matrix 7970 Platinum to go with my RIVE board... Sadly it's out of stock or back ordered on NewEgg, Amazon, and everywhere else I look. Anywhere I have seen it in stock it is priced $100 or more over retail value.
Is it just...
Lots of good info, thanks a bunch everyone!
My old joystick was a Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D and I loved it. Was comfortable and lasted me many many years through all kinds of hours with the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, BF1942, and BF2. Sadly it got lost during some moves the past few years so I...
Good to know. I was really looking at the DCII and a lot of people seem to be having problems overclocking it because of an inability to unlock the voltage. Though if you can reach that kind of overclock on stock voltage that is pretty awesome all on it's own. I would prefer the Matrix but like...
So I'm in the market to buy a 7970. I'm very attracted to ASUS' lineup since I already have the Rampage IV Extreme mobo I'd like to get a video card that goes a long with it.
Right now I have an XFX 7950 DD and I'm not very happy with it, first XFX card I haven't been happy with. It's...
This would be totally awesome and would be a nice last piece to complete my PC. I've been thinking about getting a 7970 anyhow, and well having two would be epic. :)
