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.

Hey, thanks for that link. I flashed the bios and will see how it fares. Strangely, EasyBoost now reports I have F32 but their website says only F31 is available.
Edit, not sure if it's too early but I played a few hours tonight and no freezing! Could be a combination of the WHQL drivers +...
oops, too late! I actually didn't use the rollback feature built in to Windows. I simply installed on top of the 290 drivers without uninstalling... if it still freezes, I'll do a complete uninstall / reinstall and see if that helps.
The GPU is factory overclocked to 900, but I needed to increase its voltage to 1.015 to get it to run at this speed. I've dialed it back down to 850 though and BF3 still freezes occasionally with my CPU overclocked.

Hi all,
I have this rig:
i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz (1.3v) with a CM 212 Evo ,

Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 rev1.3 ,
Gigabyte 560Ti OC ,
