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 have been thinking about my privacy and how private and secure all my data and communications really is. Snowden and NSA has really exposed how open our data and private information really is, not that I or most people have something to hide but do I really want the government ready my steamy...
I work at a small hospital, and we are starting to embrace bring your own device (BYOD), but more because the doctors are demanding that they be able to use their smartphones and iPads to send patient info quickly by text message or email.
The problem is that HIPAA laws mean that sending...
I am thinking of the following mobo/CPU combos:
1) Z77 LGA 1155 with Core i7-2600K CPU
or
2) X79 LGA 2011 with Core i7-3820 CPU
The LGA 2011 combo will cost me about $50 more then the LGA 1155 solution.
I will be doing some gaming, photoshop and video creation.
My question is...
Hey, thanks for the comments.
A couple of things, mostly using it for video creation, music, games and Photoshop CS5.
I have bought several electronics on eBay, but it is rare to get things like this for less then 10-15% off the real-life selling price.
The guy said it is new and unopened and...
I am looking at upgrading my motherboard and CPU. I am looking at the Intel Core i7-3820 for the LGA 2011 socket.
So the question is motherboards, and I decided that I want a good one.
I just found the ASRock Fatal1ty X-79 'Champion' on E-Bay, but I can't find it on NewEgg yet...
Yeah, but it still comes back to the same thing - people can be happy with such a product, if it gives them what they want and expect.
I see that someone mentioned cleanpcnation.com in the thread. I went and looked at it, and it is basically a variation of the Cyberdefender anti-virus. Many...
To people who actually understand something about computers, this stuff looks like a scam because we know of better stuff that is usually free, and we understand the limits of what any type of this kind of software can do and what it really does.
The majority of people are like my Dad. Don't...
I use gmail, and I have others who use gmail, and they are getting spam from my gmail address, even when I have not logged on for a couple of days.
Does this indicate they have me on a list with my friends, vs. a bot or something?
What can I do about this? Change my password? Or is there...
I have an old ABIT Fatal1ty I9HD motherboard that I want to use to build a Small Form Factor gaming rig.

In my girlfriends computer, I used an ABIT Fatal1ty IN9 SLI and a 955 Core 2 Duo processor. She plays alot of games on it and has been very happy with it ( and I guess that is why she still keeps me around :p ) - I know ABIT is not around anymore, but they made great boards and you can probably...
Thanx for the info.
Any ideas on the performance of two 9600GT in SLI? - would that be better then two 8800GT in SLI? Would the price difference be worth it?
