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 just had run the system in "normal" orientation (with the case standing on its front panel) for few hours, trying to pin down another problem (huge difference between temps of the cpu cores, like 83' vs 70' in OCCT, thought maybe Noctua's weight is the cause; apparently not) and used this...
Thanks guys.
Finished the build (i7 5820k, Noctua Nh-D15, Asus x99 deluxe, 16gb 2666 ram, Asus gtx980 Strix, Samsung 850pro 256gb, Silverstone FT02). The GPU stays at 40'-44' / 0% fan in idle and 70'-75' / 50% fan during 3dmarks and heavy gaming at 1440p@ultra (and hardly audible while at it...
Does anyone run this GPU in a case like Silverstone FT02/RV02? I know that blower-type cards are strongly recommended for that orientation but really like this card over the reference and wonder how hot it might get.
Almost considered it for my new build, but:
Limitation of CPU cooler: 162mm
Noctua NH-D15 height: 165 mm
Back to FT02B then...
