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 know this belongs in the [H]ot|Deals forum, but because I'm a long time lurker, and don't have 50 posts, I can't post there. Please feel free to move this there, ye of Admin faith. :))
Insanely good case for the price. Awesome price (even better if you have a Microcenter nearby to save...
Hmm.. it's showing 1.416 V in CPU-Z. It's just using "Auto" settings in the BIOS, so I guess I'll ratchet it down to 1.31V and see how stability looks.
Edit: So yeah, good call. I'm down to 37C idle, and 54 load (@3.0Ghz | 8x375) which I suppose isn't terrible with the semi-cramped case...
Yes. I received a new RMA motherboard, and just yesterday applied a new fresh layer of AS5. I understand that AS5 may need some "settling" time, but these temps still look a little too high.
I've got it OC'ed to 3Ghz now (8x375) and I'm seeing idle temps at ~41C, and load at near 60.
I'm seeing ~39C (idle), ~55C (load) at stock speeds using a AC Freezer 7 Pro. I see a lot of others posting much lower idle/load temps (even with overclocks) with the same cooler. I've got a fairly small case (Antec Super Lanboy), but it's got adequate airflow. I've also got a 8800GT with a...
But I suppose each of the 1GB sticks that you buy could easily be from 2 different batches as well.
It's still a great deal, don't get me wrong. :)
Especially if you do end up getting 2 D9 sticks.
I get a 1GB product using the above link.

I THIS what you're all referring to? :confused:
I bit. Beats the hell out of the month-to-month T-Mobile plan I've been using for years. Same price, more minutes + data + lots of extra features.. SOLD! :)
Thanks OP.
Why not just post "$130 AR (Free Shipping)"?
I'm also not a fan of the "advertise the AR price as the shipped price" mumbo-jumbo.
Either way, this is a great deal. I hope the prices continue to fall as I save up for my C2D upgrade. :)
