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've had mine for about 5 days now and I am loving it. Performs great, runs cooler, and is quieter than my previous EVGA 8800 GT (which was also very quiet). I just overclocked it now, and I have got it to 830/1660 MHz stable. It's not as high as others have posted, but it's good enough for me...
