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.
Indeed. It does seem slow.
With my F3's in RAID 0 on my P5Q-E, the small (~100 GB) slice gets around 310 MB/s in HDTach. With 4x WD Blacks I would've expected something around 500 MB/s, at least.
I think the 8800GT's stock RAM speed is 900 MHz (1.8 GHz DDR), not a 1 GHz like you stated in the review.
Either that, or I misread the whole sentence.
Well, yes. But there are hundreds of other videocards with a single PCB, which can be watercooled. That way you would end up not loosing any SATA ports.
Anyway, I said the placement was interesting, not good. :p
Well, I'm specially interested in the X48's thermals. With that alu heatsink, I'd bet it will get really hot.
The SATA ports placement is interesting, I have to admit.
I just want to say: Accelero S1 rules. It's unbelievable.
I got mine today (finally) and installed it.
Temps with stock cooling were around ~55ºC idle - ~75ºC load (ambient temp ~25ºC).
Now, ~35ºC idle - ~45ºC load, same ambient temp. It's just amazing. :D
I do have a 120 mm AC fan @ 5v...
