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.
Ok, I ordered the parts and I have begun to slowly OC the CPU. Its been so long since I have messed with it that I apparently forgot that I have a Q6700 not Q6600. So stock its set at 2.66 GHz. Ive got it bumped up to 2.8 now. Im not going to go crazy but I'm hoping to hit 3.3-3.5 eventually...
Its been awhile since I tried any OC on this board. When I did, I always had stability issues. I have a giant Zalman cooling fan on it so that isnt the problem. IMO the RAM is the only "waste" of money since I wont be able to reuse it in a future build. From your feedback I'm thinking this seems...
$130 is the price for the card and 4 GB ram. I found the card for $79 on newegg. I have plenty of room for OC, I do need to bump it up. I have ran it up to 3GHz in the past.
Current res is 1920x1080 on a 24" monitor
thanks
