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.
Thanks for posting that. I took a chance and ordered the 970 Strix (which turned up today) - so I think I'll be sending it back.
Back to the drawing board.
It's either the MSI 970 (which is also a pretty tight fit), MSI 980 (which should be 1mm shorter in height) or just stick with a...
If you get the chance can you measure the height. It's supposed to be 140mm (so 1mm less than the MSI which we know just about fits), but from the pictures I've seen of the Strix it looks taller than the MSI.
Thanks for the info.
Is anyone using a TD03? I've seen someone with the TD02, but I'm guessing due to the rad thickness you'll only be able to use one fan on the 03. Also want to make sure its not too big for the hard drive bracket to fit.
Another one waiting for my V2 to arrive. This is what I'm currently planning. Need some CPU cooler and fan advice though.

So I purchased another BD drive and a new PSU.
Swapped the new BD drive (Pioneer 208) in place of the BD207 and although the pc booted, the keyboard no longer worked.
So then swapped the old PSU for the new one I purchased (Corsair 860i) and everything was working as expected.
So it seems...

There's also a Samsung SSD running the OS and an LSI Raid controller running 3 x 2TB Hitachi drives.
On top of that there were 5 optical drives attached. An LG BD/HDDVD drive, Pioneer...
Ok, this is really strange.
One of my optical drives isn't reading some disks as it should, so I took it out of my system to RMA it today.
Once I took it out of my system, it stopped booting into Windows. Most of the time it won't even get to the bios screen before the power cuts out. The...
