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.

Also any other video card recommendations? I figured I had something a...
First build, so if you have any comments about what I have here I'd appreciate them.
I don't game, and I'm not looking to overclock, so those areas aren't of much concern to me. Besides the tedious school-related stuff I have to do, I'd like to be able to deal with multimedia (video/photo...
