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.
Thanks for the feedback Danny! I was looking at some different HDD comparisons and I don't see where the F3 was significantly better performing than WD. Data I was looking at.
I've had good luck through the years of dealing with Western Digital but zero experience with Samsung outside of their...
The following is pretty much what I have decided on but wanted to get some final feedback to eliminate as much potential buyer's remorse as possible. :) I'd like this build to last me as my main system for a good 5-6 years.
Any feedback would be great and thanks again!
CPU: Intel Core...
Thanks for the feedback Danny. I notice that you recommend those drives quite often yet quite a few of the reviews I've been reading have me worried about quality control and having to replace them fairly soon after purchase.
The other components listed though were sound?
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming and surfing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$2500-3000
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
O'Fallon, MO
4) What exact parts do...
EVGA E760 Classified motherboard
Prolimatech Mega Shadow Heatsink
(2) 120mm x 120mm x 38mm SAN ACE cooling fans (push/pull)
12GB memory - 2 sets of 6GB (3 x 2GB)
I'm curious how tight of a fit the heatsink + fan combination is going to be with all the ram slots populated in the above...
Dan_D, how do you feel about the Classified board for someone that does plan to have a multi-GPU setup and is new to liquid cooling or plans to go air cooling? Do you feel as though the board is still worth the premium? I'm not too terribly concerned about cost, more so, longevity of a system...
I have no problems with going with the P6T non deluxe, I was questioning the feedback given about the Asus layout vs the EVGA. I haven't made my purchase yet which is why I am here. :)
After reading up on the EVGA board, I'm really leaning that direction since it sounds like the support...
I chose the P6T Deluxe as a recommendation for stability, performance, pricepoint, and SLI/Xfire capability, and the second ethernet port.
I chose a dedicated sound card to hopefully offload some of the CPU since this rig will be for gaming.
I've been scouring the forums and the web trying to clarify your statement here about the layout on the ASUS board being bad. Would you be kind enough to clarify Shiro?
Thanks again!
