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.
Same thing happened to me with my 3000+. Until i checked this thread at xtremesystems. Im currently running 250 @ 2.5-3-3-7 1T. Once i upgrade cooling (currently using stock) and have some free time im going to shoot for 275 @ 2.5-3-3-8 1T. All this is with the HT multiplier @ 3x.
Picked mine up at the staples sale a while back for around $60. Been pretty happy with it thus far and did not have any problems thus far with skipping.
