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.

DOH, I returned it for a refund :p Should have just gotten a new power supply. O well, $10 for shipping for a lesson learned. Thanks everyone who replied!
haha. Truth be told I did get a HD5770 2 weeks ago and had to send it back. It was 1. either incompatible with my motherboard or 2. didn't work because I couldn't hook it up to my PS. I read some forums about that series of cards having problems on older motherboards. It would not post...

4 gigs memory
FoxConn DG33M03 Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
