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.
Just an FYI small raises my CPU temps about 4-5 degrees higher than large. (more than that at some points) Using large you will actually see your temps drop at times. Small just maxes out the temp and it stays there. Also using small you're more likely to fail if your CPU isn't stable...
I was doing some tests with my GX2 at 1920x1200 about two weeks ago. FEAR with all settings maxed showed no change with a C2D at stock 6400 speeds and 3.2GHz.
With my GX2 OCed to 550/1400 I started showing a SLIGHT drop in frames between stock 6400 speeds and 6600 speeds. The 6400 at stock...

CPU-Z, Everest, and 3DMark06 are all showing the PCI-E bus running at 8x instead of 16x. They may be reading it wrong but I can't for the life of me figure out if it's supposed...
My GX2 is showing up as being set at x8 even though my PCI-E slot is x16...is that right or is there something I need to set in my drivers/BIOS to enable the x16?
When the fans are at 100% (when you're first booting up) it's so loud it's stupid but after that I can't hear it over the other fans in my case. Even at load I don't notice it. It's definitely not a silent solution but there isn't any annoying high pitched whine coming from it either...
I've looked around and haven't been able to find any aftermarket air cooling for the GX2. Has anyone seen anything available or tried to pull off the stock HS and put some AS5 under it? I cut a 120mm blowhole out right over my GX2 but I'd love something other than the really cheap looking...
My GX2 does the same thing. It's really annoying to have to sit through after every reboot. It works fine other than that so I'm not really going to complain.
I placed my order at 10am pacific but I didn't call them. I don't have any shipping info from them but I didn't get a phonecall or an e-mailing saying it was backordered so I'm hoping it actually ships. I just checked my account and they already charged me so I guess those are all good signs...
