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.

The build has been delayed for another 8 to 10 days as I've had to order connectors for my PSU. The pins just wouldn't budge even with original Molex tool which in process led me to rip out a couple of wires.
Hopefully after the connectors arrive the build will progress as planned.
Unfortunately the PSU cables came up to be almost 8-9" shorter, thus I have ordered all black 18 AWG cable and molex crimps. So it looks like this project will feature custom made wiring however I will not be sleeving it.
2640 are 6C/12TH @ 2.50Ghz, I planned on getting 2650/70s but I don't need that much power.
Yes I did swap out the 2000D for 660, 200 dollar difference. 660 is just newer tech compared to the 2000D.
Update: Xeon E5s have arrived last night and I was quite shocked at way newegg shipped them. They literally were shipped in a bubble envelope, for something costing nearly 2k I expect better packing.

Greetings, I am selling my CaseLabs M10 case due to my original idea of creating a watercooled dual CPU workstation falling through. So I am starting off the auction at $300 with a shipping fee $35 which will not cover all the costs but will help me ship the case to you, also if you're in...
You could try to rollback the BIOS to the previous version. When I used to OC which I haven't done in a very long time, I would clear the OC settings before flashing and after I would apply the OC again. I know for a fact that back in the day ASUS motherboards did have stability issues if OC...
