• 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.

    Simple instructions for freezing a Skylake Processor

    It appears hyperthreading needed to be enabled to cause the error, so those with i5 are safe.

    Memory upgrade dilemma

    I would get 3x4GB. There is no guarantee that your new set will work well with your old set or with all 6 slots occupied. That way, you'll get at least 12GB to use if things doesn't work out and you won't get stuck with 2 sets of 3x2GB and you can only use one set or the other.

    initial SkyOC i3 6100OC thread

    I don't like it that it doesn't clock down when idle. That means more heat and therefore more noise.

    DDR3 RAM is not DDR3 RAM

    He said the computer was reassembled, so it was obviously used. He knew it when he purchased it. What does Singapore have anything to do with this?

    DDR3 RAM is not DDR3 RAM

    I don't get the point of this scam. DDR3 doesn't cost more than DDR2, why disguise it?

    Z170 boot issues

    I tried this with gaming 7 with G.skill ram, no problem at all. It seems people with problem all have Corsair Vengeance LPX ram, those with G.skill ram are mostly problem free. I think those who want to go with Gigabyte 170 boards should pick G.skill ram for painless experience.

    New motherboard and RAM. Compatibility was questioned.

    Your motherboard is on your memory's approved list, so it will definitely work.

    Searching for an Z170 motherboard.

    On Gigabyte website, the Gaming 7 is being advertised as Intel Thunderbolt 3 certified motherboard, and there is a thunderbolt driver available in the driver section. If it doesn't have Alpine Ridge, what Intel controller is it using for Thunderbolt?
