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.

Of course this temperature issue isn't isolated to resizing windows, but it's the most ridiculous example I have.
Funny mention...
I have noticed many odd things with the temperature of my 4790k. The cooler is a Corsair H110 and mobo is Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H (F4). It idles between 25-30c, and doing anything from loading a website to resizing a window almost instantly increases the temperature by about 15c until it's done, then...
As I said, both my front intake fans are the same and 3pin. One is connected to a 4pin header, the other 3pin. The one connected to the 4pin header is running at 1100rpm and the other 550. Both are on Silent mode.
For some reason HWMonitor doesn't show all the fans and names them differently: http://puu.sh/c02Rm/d1fae8433e.png
But here's the proper showing of fans in the BIOS: https://i.imgur.com/bVePznG.jpg
Does anyone know why Chassis Fan 1 is running at double the speed of the other Chassis Fans? All...
