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.
Thank you everyone for helping me out. I apologize for how scattered my earlier questions were, but I wasn't fully comprehending the information I was reading. Long story short; it appears that a single 1070 should be enough for my purposes. With a 1070 I can run three 1440p monitors and do...
So, just to be clear; it is possible to run three 1440p monitors using a single GTX 1070 AND do some light gaming? I don't expect to run RotTR at 100fps on all three screens on Ultra settings. But it is possible to play that or similar games at "normal" settings, correct?
If so, then would...
Thanks in advance for any/all help and advice.
I'm currently speccing out a new build and am hung up on whether a single 1070 is best for me, or if I should get dual 1060s. The problem is that my current setup has two graphics cards connected to three 1440p monitors and I don't know if a...
Thanks for all the help/advice people. Right now it seems that ASRock and ASUS are the two front runners. A couple of quick questions for the ASRock owners out there;
Have you run into any issues regarding the fan headers? i.e. not enough connections, bad placement, etc.? Also, are the fan...

Hey everyone. Looking for a little advice on the above ATX X99 MBs, namely which one I should use as the basis of my new build. This is the first time I'm building on the X99...
I want to thank everyone for all their help. After mulling it over in my head over the weekend, I've decided to pull the trigger and order the following:
Case: Silverstone LC10B-E HTPC Case in Silver
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus H87M-PRO Micro...
That's weird. HardForum keeps altering my bitly links by removing half the link info. Fixed it by pasting in the full Amazon link to the Kingston RAM in question.
Dangman,
I mistyped about the fan. I know you mentioned the Arctic Cooling fans, I have no idea why I wrote Cooler Master. I must have been more tired than I thought.
I get what you're saying about the RAM, but I like to have my RAM in pairs, so I've done a little more research and think I'm...
Adding extra case fans was something I was thinking of doing, so I'm glad you mentioned it. However, I was looking at the Vantec Thermoflow, which is $2 cheaper than the Cooler Master you mention. Not a great savings, I know. But the Vantec has better ratings on the Egg so that's what I was...
OK, so now I have a pretty good idea of my build list and would like opinions on the components. You can see the full list on PC Part Picker here, but for those who want it inline, the HTPC is as follows;
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus H87M-PRO Micro...
Dangman,
Awesome, detailed advice! I really appreciate it.
Your thoughts on the CPU are tracking my own, I just didn't know enough about the processor differences to make up my mind until you explained them. Based on your advice, I'm switching to the i3-4130.
I understand your criticism...
So, after much research today I've come up with the beginnings of a build list. However, I have one glaring omission. A motherboard. What I'm looking for is a good micro ATX board that has very good onboard audio.
Here's where my build currently stands:
Case: SilverStone LC10E
CPU: Intel...
