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.
btw, Hank Baron at performance-pcs.com does builds now, they do great sleeving jobs, btw. Click on cases; Lian-Li modded cases, and check out Hank's rig @ the top. I'm kind of pissed I didn't know that or I would have called him for a quote before going with CB. Next time I upgrade or have about...
I got what I paid for. I even priced out the components... the savings were marginal. And if anything happens to this build, I can send it back and get it fixed instead of RMAing -> waiting --> repeat.
Good luck with yourl build Darris. I had fun modding my first box with an obnoxious amount...
I've built four nightmares. Bad ram, bad mobos, bad bad video cards, lemons not user errors. I was purchasing quality components, just had bad luck with getting lemons. And toasted about a dozen hard drives. Maybe I just have bad luck... lol the computer gods don't like me..
You're right... thanks. good thing I checked the model # before I call to complain.
Yeah.. I read a few reviews on Xion's PSU's before I selected it. They were mixed and few. I got it because the cables are mostly sleeved, and don't look as hellish unsleeved as others. I almost got an Ultra...
Why do you say it's a crap PSU? And yeah, I know it's overkill, but I wanted to future-proof my PSU for video card upgrades. My old box had an Enermax Galaxy sleeved by performance-pcs.com
Hank Baron is an excellent business man. He custom modified a Lian-Li case for me to my exact...
XION SUPERNOVA AXP 1000w PSU
I'm calling them tomorrow. I'm def. not sending it back for a new mobo, video card, and optical drive, but I'll get some $ credited to my card. It was $2188
I also got a NZXT fan controller. I asked them to connect all the fans to it, but they just connected...
I read some mixed reviews about Cyberpower. They did a pretty good job with my PC; nice cable management, everything runs flawlessly. The only complaints I have is i ordered a Samsung DVD RW, but received a generic one. And I asked for a front intake fan for the Raidmax Sagittarius case, and...
Looking to build a system around the nforce 790i ultra chipset with 2 9800 GX2's or 3 9800 GTX's. I was looking @ the ASUS Striker II Extreme, it got good webzine reviews, but ok to bad user reviews. i plan to wait until the northbridge matures.
Any suggestions on new technology to wait for?
Can anyone here please help me overclocking my CPU, and perhaps my RAM and GPU?

I need to upgrade my RAM for Vista and gaming. I currently have 2 x 512 MB of OCZ Platinum PC-3200 RAM. They have a chip on them that is no longer manufactured. So I cannot add 2 more of the same. The timings on these are 2-2-2-5. They are not certified by DFI to work on my CFX-3200 dr/g.
