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.
so lets say my idle temp on my Q6600 stock is about 32C and 45C on load, if i go ahead and BSEL my CPU, would my stock cooling be enough? Also my 8800GTX idles at about 62C which seems high and on load i have seen it go as high as 80C ouch. I have read though that an 8800GTX runs pretty hot.
is it worth getting a new PSU for something like a gtx470 or hd6950, and transfer over my 425W PSU and 8800gtx over to an old pentium d 820 which could really use a halfway decent vidcard?
I failed to mention this system is a dell xps420 so overclocking can not be achieved through the dell bios. And the 425W PSU is also dell branded. I do remember back when this system came out an 8800GTX needed at least a 475W PSU to function. Leaving me scratching my head to why its working with...
I have a system with these specs which needs a new videocard opinion...
q6600 stock (G0)
x38 mb
6gb 800
8800gtx 768 which I want to upgrade.
1920x1080 gaming resolution.
This system only has a 425W power supply.
Do I get a gtx295 which will work with my low power supply?
Or get a new power...
