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.
Apparently someone did this and temps drop

The PSU not necessarily, but it has to be checked to be sure. You dont want to gamble the life of your expensive GPU, right?
Me being paranoic, i just replaced my psu to a new bigger one. But thats just me
Same thing happened to my RTX 4090
first stop using your GPU.
Replace your PSU
and take your vid card to an expert technician to change the power connector and to check if there is further damage
Also, get a WireView 2
hehe, yeah
I'm testing the stock vid card, I will soon install a gpu waterblock, then i will use another piece of wood, but this time with some wood varnish 😎✌️
It's a legitimate backdoor by Intel 😁
a cpu inside a cpu with ring 0 access, that you can't control. Put there due to a direct order by the NSA.
Yeah, this will not be used for good, in fact i reckon this backdoor will be used in the upcoming computer "covid" that has been planned for some...
Its nice
but it only works explicitly for Comet Lake + CSME 14.1.
Intel is making it even harder to disable ME, some functionality moved into the PMC (Power Management Controller), and full disable often breaks more things or is less effective.
I don't like this ME backdoor, but it looks like...
