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 have an AMD Threadripper 1920X, (not) cooled by an Enermax Liqtech 240 TR4. The build is not even a year old and CPU temps are... bad. The mobo is an ASRock X399 Taichi micro ATX board, and the case is a matching Corsair Carbide Air 540 I believe.
After booting into Windows, I look at temps...
modular means you dont have a stack of cables, you can pull some out of the psu, making more room and less chaos with the cable (see pictures of any psu marked as modular)
i think most reviews dont go under the x1950 series nowdays so i guess you'll have to find one with one card and one with the other which both have a similar card in it (like a x1950 pro)
head to the mobo's site and download a bios update and apply it. if ur lucky it will work(dunno anything about ECS), if not then you'll have to find a P965 board at least
well for an upgrade i'd suggest getting an AM2 board and cpu. reason is its a good idea to have 2 gigs of ram under vista (tho not necessary) and i dont know if you want to spend that ammount of money on ddr1 modules (considering future).
as i recall, the only fuss about hardware change is you...
