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.

So wait for the 24th I guess.

Seen a few pics on reddit where it looks like it will be an extremely tight fit.
Not keen on reference cards since silence is by far the most important thing since it will be in the bedroom.
I'm tossing up between the GTX 970 and the R9 390
Specifically these cards:
MSI Twin Frozr V R9 390
MSI Twin Frozr V GTX 970
Asus Direct Cu ii Mini GTX 970
Obvious benefits I can see for a 970 is reduced power/heat/noise which is a big benefit in a case this size. Although the extra...
Hi Guys, looking for some advice about my next build. Main priority for me is silence.
