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.
You could bury the cable in the carpet. Or if you used plenium rated cable you could run it through the AC duct. Or you could just use WiFi and call it a day.
I have had good luck with my EVGA GTX 460. No problems what so ever.
