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.

I was thinking the same thing until I realized I would have to pay tuition to play a video game. Then I started thinking about how pissed parents would be if they knew their child took this as a course. I wonder how the teacher scored such an awesome job.
I've used the Corsairs before and they worked well. The Reapers have a pretty crazy heatsink on top. I would make sure that wouldn't interfere with anything in your case.
