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'm really looking forward to Battlefield 3 on this rig @ 4.5GHz.
In the mean time I'm going to start saving $$$ for the Corsair H100. I have a case that would fit it perfectly in a push/pull set up.
I think with water cooling and maybe bumping my V-core up to around 1.37-1.4v I could get...
Hey - using HWMonitor and Prime 95 testing.
After 8 hours the max temp was 59c - idle it's 32c.
All using the 212+ with 1 fan.
I don't want to push it any farther then 4.5GHz at the moment - but 4.5GHz stable at 1.272v looks like I have some head room?
update - on this board - i'm running 4.5ghz at 1.272v - down from 1.32v - stable @ prime95 for 1hr.
going to run prime95 overnight just to be sure (8-10hrs)
is 4.5GHz at 1.272v relatively good? - certainly better than 1.35v or 1.32v that i originally tested.
I own the P67 version of that board and so far it's been running stable at 4.5GHz on air. 1.32v - been lowering the V-core slowly from 1.35v which I had started off at.
I have the Extreme4 Gen3 - i5 2500K & the 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 ram.
It has been running stable at 4.5GHz on air at 1.32v (I began at 1.35v and been lowering it since)
Thanks for this information. I really will consider purchasing another SSD for Raid 0, double the speed. Sounds fantastic to me. As for documents and such, I really don't use my home PC for that at all. My wife's laptop is where all that information is usually on.
I usually just use my PC for...
Just last night - my new build came in from New Egg (2 day shipping btw, just wow).
My previous rig was
Q6600 @ 2.6GHz stable (that was the highest my mobo could handle, it would load into windows at 3.2GHz but it would always crash anywhere from 30 mins to an hour in)
ABIT P5N-E SLi
4GB...
