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 did the 780i $90 step-up. I have done the bios flash to P03. My Board was an early production run and arrived with bios P01RC_D. It had some issues with RAM speed but now that I have the P03 flash done it is running great. I'll let you know if this changes with time.
EVGA is a great...
EVGA: best warrenty, great ppl with the best support and they just did an upgrade from a 680i to a 780i for me at $89. You just can't beat that support.
The day may come when you find three vid cards on sale way cheep and might like to use them in place of two higher priced cards. I don't think it is ever a good ideal to "Just say No" to hi-end tech until all the facts are in.
So there is my 2 cents worth.
1: Check your wall outlet for a flooting or missing ground. The power supply in your box will do all manner of odd things with spike and dips in A.C. if the ground isn't working. This can be effected by time of day as well.
2: If you are using a UPS try the NON battery outlet. Some batterys...
I'll start to care about this more the day I see a "killer app" game that needs one of these cards. What good is a great motor if you don't have a car to put it in? I've been a gamer from the days of 8 bit packman and I have seen this happen more times then I can count. It is just like the old...
I own one. It came with the wrong DVD drives, I ordered Sony and it came with LITE-ON. It come with the wrong sound card, I ordered the X-Gamer and it came with X-Music. When I told them about it they said "we ran out of the ones you ordered" No email, No phone call, They just shipped it that...
Just one more thought on Apple selling OS X for X86.
Microsoft has Billions and Billions of $$ in cash all made with out selling a "Microsoft Box" that you MUST buy before you can use Windows.
OS X is just a shell and some "glue code" over NeXT Computers Openstep OS, more or less. Jobs brough it with him when he closed the doors on NeXT and returned to Apple. You can still find it around the net. I know for a fact you can get a copy from blackhole.com Rob Blessin is the name of the...
I am using the OCZ titanium alpha v2 in my second box. It is a VELOCITY MICRO with an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe. The CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC'd to 2.89 with just air cooling. Most of what you want can be reached at 2.3 to 2.4 volts with direct air cooling on the RAM. I have found that this RAM...
I had my share of issues with Digital Storm. They install two Lite-on DVDRW drives instead of the Sony's I ordered. No call, No email, they just did it. On top of that they install the X-Fi Music card instead of the X-Fi Gamer I ordered. And just to add some salt for extra pain they charged me...
