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.

Ok guys, looks like I was wrong. I was looking at ways to be able to better overclock my setup and it looks like I might just have to upgrade my motherboard. I've been able to overclock to 4.6 on a msi z170-a pro but this board is so cheap and dinky and just cant do it anymore with lack of...
I feel like you need to be familiar with your equipment and understand what is going on before you start changing potentially dangerous settings
if you bought 3000mhz memory then the default clock should be just that. There is no performance to gain by OC'ing that anyway...
