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.
A few more questions then, is your power LED hooked up from the case, some report that there might be a grounding issue if that is backwards or not plugged in.
This boards defualt ram voltage is 1.8v so might also be that not enough power is there for your ram if it requires a much higher...
Buy.com has EVGA GeForce 8600GTS 256MB for $179.99. Cupon code for $10 off for new customers, making a new account always works for me. Also $15 MIR which takes the price down to $154.99. Free Shipping, no tax, smaller MIR to wait for.
I have seen two under $300, one was open box with a mobo, but the deal was there ;) Fry also had $299 last week on their online store, ok for about 2 hours, but the deal was there, was in stock when I saw it and still passed on it in favor of waiting on G0. They also had it in store with a mobo...
I would agree there, as we are already seeing prices slip down to the low 300 area, and some deals have already sunk lower then 300, if you are fast enough to catch them. But if you order July 20th, or even the 22nd, at the new price, what is the chance that it will be G0 stepping? The 95w(G0)...
I belive I saw July 16th was their expected shipping date to resellers, in the G0 press release. But it could take a few weeks to work the B3 stepping out I would think. I belive Tankguys are the only place where you can pre-order G0 Stepping to be guaranteed, and they say the first weeks of...
If you just have to get a Q6600 right now and can not wait two more weeks, and do not care about G0 stepping, it seems people have found a way around the rebate.
Over on slickdeals I saw:
"My coworker ordered a E6700 from ClubIT and got a phone call shortly from them offering him a free...
Even if you are going to sell the card for a loss, the point you made that you are not using it, and it will just go down even more sort of says well I rather never sell it and lose $550 eventully, then lose $100 now... Plus, if you sell it now, thats 45,000 more pennies for the jar ;)
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
East, The OP has a nice FAQ and can get a lot of useful answers out of it. By all the reading I have done here, it just seems for the money and for what the monitor can do it is the best bang for the buck. As for your 9'x9' room, well being a lot of...
I know what you mean, I just ordered mine this week too, but will be delivered on Monday. A whole weekend without it argh! I went ahead and got a wall-mount and new cables while I was at it. Designing a new desk/work-area for it also, current setup just can not fit such a huge display, coming...
