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.

The drive failed on the hottest day of the year, in the warmest room of the house after a long gaming session. Kingston says...
I'm going to replace it with a Samsung 950 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD.
Any ideas how to cool the SSD in the tight space at the side of the NCASE chassis?
BTW, Crucial say the failed drive should run at 70 degrees, hum?
I recently built a high spec NCASE M1 rig with the Asus Z170I PRO GAMING motherboard running Windows 10. I installed an M.2 HyperX Predator PCIe SSD into the rear slot on the motherboard. It all worked fine and was very fast for nearly four months. The SSD has now failed with the error message...
