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.
This is from an AMD fan boy, you will probably get a little better performance with an I5 than the AMD fx 8350 but not much. I prefer AMD because it usually a little cheaper than Intel , for comparable performance...........it always depends on what you want to do with it ;)
My question is, with SLI do you need matching cards. I have a MSI 4gig gtx 680 card and was wondering if I could match it with a 2 gig card. I'm more familiar with AMD crossfire than SLI
For the amount of working that you were saying I would check geeks.com for referb computer. You can pick up some cheap debranded or just referbed Dells and HP's
It almost sounds like, the Ram you bought was at a lower voltage that the board put out and fried all the ram..............the other thing is maybe the mosfets have let loose on the mother board I had that happen just recently on a MSI 990fx board with military class parts
I personally have an AMD 8150 and noticed that the 990fx chip-set works better with just 2 sticks of memory in the mother board. If you really need 16 gig of memory and like g.skill go with this

I have a WD wd20ears 2T drive that I broke off the sata connector and was wondering, if it is possible to replace the PCB board on the HD and recover the data on the drive.
