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 installed this board in my HTPC and to my surprise the video would not pass HDCP so I had to resort to using my spare 8800GT vidoe card which works great. I have seen others around the net with tha same problem but no fixes as of yet. I would like to hear from someone who has it working.
a single 20A 120v circuit will easly handle 3 quad GPU (with 8800gt's) folder or 2 quad 9800gx2 folders or 5 quad core SMP folders with a GPU folder in each.
