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.

Just in case anyone does plan on pushing a 7970 to the limit on air, stay away from the reference design...unless you don't mind your computer sounding like a leaf blower.
I will give props to the reference fan on the 680 though, even at max speed, it was way quieter than my 7970's fan.
