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.
It's unfortunately normal with those high clocked, high TDP models as the heat just isn't transferred away from the chip into the heatspreader fast enough, thanks to that crappy TIM.

We are not happy with the delay for the L9 AM4 kit either but we had to play it safe as from the information we had it was either it works or we could throw away the whole production run and the toolings for these parts, plus the need to start all over...
We could for sure design such a fan but I don't think people would like to wait 1-2 years for it to be ready. :p
Seriously though, I don't see us going for such a fan anytime soon, as it is an extreme niche size where it is questionable if we would ever even earn the development costs. It was a...
Thanks for the feedback! I'm not going to quote everyone here but I'll try to answer everything.
- I'm aware that there are users of this chassis outside North America as well, however, my guess is that the majority of users in this forum is located there. It doesn't really matter to the...
Hello from Austria to all of you following this thread.
While I'm following HOCP privately for ages, it was your inquiries to Noctua that brought up the idea to register and engage in this thread on behalf of Noctua.
I'm working at Noctua as a product engineer, which means I have had many...
