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.
Guys - Thanks for the concern, but based on this http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=632366 I'm not that worried as my temps are still decent. Plus, I buy CPU's with the expectation that I'll kill it :) But, it's never happened yet!! I have an old Athlon XP that I still run at...
Wow - for what it's worth I am also in the area. Just came from the MC on 355 in Rockville this afternoon. It was a MAD house though and I didn't feel like waiting in line just for a $5 fan.
Well hell and damn! Moments after my last post I found the computer frozen. Didn't lose the WU but did lose about 15% in progress. Upped vcore and QPI another notch. If this doesn't prove to be stable I think I'll have to settle on 3.9GHz :(
Axdrenalin - Folding bigadv I am generally in the high 70's - 80, and over the last 24 hours the hottest core peaked at 83. This is with CPU vcore @ 1.36 and QPI/VTT @ 1.475. I have a pretty good feeling going above 4GHz is going to take a lot more voltage, and won't be worth it. I'm happy at...
I must say that I also am really enjoying the GA-X58A-UD3R MB. Had mine for about a week or so, with a Noctua NH-D14, 6 gigs of OCZ Gold, and Nxzt Tempest EVO. I'm new to i7 OC'ing and still fine tuning to get it stable @ 4.0 Ghz. (Damn thing is IBT stable but not bigadv stable @ 4.0 Ghz...
I can't say. I've been a fan of the MX-2 for awhile now and that is what I used. Never even tried the TIM that comes with it. I'm still fine tuning everything, but as of now I peak at about 83 in Intel Burn Test on core 0 (which is always the hottest of the 4 cores).
I have this combo, along with this RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365, in this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146062. I have the HS exhausting/facing up. I have no problems with 3 sticks in the 'white' slots, and it does not...
New 4 core 1 VM setup??? (perk!) I thought the free player only did 2 cores max per instance? Actually I don't mind running 2 VM's at all. It's just before the new WU's I was getting about 3,300 PPD per instance, and now it's about 2,100 PPD per instance. It's just hard to go back down in...
Well it doesn't really feel like a year ago that I began folding for the [H]orde. But I'll be damned if today isn't my 1 year anniversary! 5.4 million points in a year - that ain't half bad! Funny too, I remember starting out, at first not even keeping track or being on a team. Back then I...
