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.

Hmm. Maybe it's just the pc's I've had then. I've only ever had an SSD on my latest build, and when I was messing around with vista/pentium 4's, I only have 5400rpm drives to mess with. So that may be the case. I just know that with how cheap computers are for various levels of power, it's...
Hmm. Well, I guess it's all to be taken with a grain of salt. Refunds were given, however statements in this post seem to be contradictory as per what actually happened. *shrugs* just shows there's always room for doubt.
In a manner of speaking. The computers that were being sold with Vista based around a hyperthreading Pentium 4 were lucky enough to even get into windows, let alone actually make a useful computer :P
That is impressive, to get your computer to boot at all at 5.1 ghz. My 2500k won't boot past like, 4.5gHz.
Well frankly, that was the case for a few windows editions in the past decade and a half.
EDIT. Btw, what chipset is used mostly for getting that high? I'm on z77.
