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.
I challenge you to prove this by actually getting G.Skill ZX to run on either a P5B or DS3. I have done exactly this using a cheap PC4200; and as I already stated only managed to boot with one stick and only the first time, after adding the second stick it did not boot any combination after this...

This board is a bit picky when it comes to Ram modules, it does not like G.Skill ZX but will use some other G.Skill, I understand that people are having problems with certain OCZ modules as well. If this is the board you're going for check XS and Asus...

I've been having some problems getting my new Core 2 Duo to work, and I removed the profile to check the CPU - Now the thermal "paste" has of course left marks on the cpu - do I need to clean this off if I remount the boxed cooler and apply thermal paste?
I also have a Zalman CNPS8000 which I...
Ok, after some digging around it appears the P5B has problems with several popular brands (G.Skill and OCZ are both mentioned) guess I'm gonna try getting some Corsair tomorrow unless someone else comments.
Guess that means this can be moved to Intel based Motherboards.
Edit...
I'm not sure this is the correct forum to post in, but since I don't know where my problem is this is what I chose.
So I finally got all the parts together for my new Conroe based comp. My old comp went belly up last week and being unable to solve it's problems I ended up deciding this was a...
