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 hate to say this, but while california might look like communist china, its not. no one is forcing those people to take money from evga.
does the one on amazon come with watchdogs too?
oh, and before you go saying i agree with the NSA, i am not their number 1 fan. I also disagree with the wars in iraq and afghanistan... i much rather think we should have just bombed them back to the stone age and left ;)
sigh.
another uninformed democrat.
clearly you dont know squat about evil "corporations". They have a duty to provide profits for the shareholders. Thats all a corporation's duty is. It is NOT to take care of the "worker"(communist term) or provide benefits. It is ONLY to make profit for...
bought a matched pair of these and only needed one. CPU was tested for function and removed, then the second was put in and tested for function. both worked so the second chip stayed in. looking to get 120 shipped with insurance for this chip.
i dont have/do heatware. i rarely ever sell...
It was the stand offs. The board was not completing ground. I bought standoffs and reinstalled and it fixed the problem. Rig is up and running. This CPU is a champ. My board won't go above 200 bclk but I have it running at 3.4 at 1.1vcore and max temps are 51 on the hottest core with an old...
got my pair of chips in today... however can't get the monitor to get a signal to see the damn screen. probably because i dont have enough mb standoffs. hoping that is the issue. it will turn on and power up but not boot and no post beep. gonna pick up some standoffs tomorrow and hopefully that...
hey, that would be great. i appreciate that.
i have 2 chips coming, but if i can't find an overclockable board then ill just sell 1 of them. i am not into super overclocking, but i would like to have a 6 core at about 3.6ghz on air. that would be plenty for this machine. i just built an ivy...
does anyone know where to find a dual socket board at? Highly prefer one that allows over clocking. I snagged a pair of the L5639 chips and would like to play around with a dual cpu setup. i have an MSI board in 1366 from way back, so i will use one cpu either way but would love to just play...
i am not saying rule out rebates, i am saying rule out MAIL IN rebates that the CUSTOMERS mail in. make the stores front the rebate money to the customers up front, and the stores can claim the rebates from the manufactuer. i have received 2 out of about 15 rebates submitted over my lifetime of...
well, normally i wouldnt either. but mail in rebates are nothing short of a scam. i guess you dont want the feds to help stop the nigerian scammer emails that go around either huh.
its the principle. intel is giving the big FU to its enthusiast fan base. stupid move on their part, i dont spend money with companies that do that. i have been an intel man since i built my first computer. no more after this crap. i dont care if its double the performance of the i7 with stock...
well, i know i wont be buying anymore intel chips if they insist on locking them down unless you pay hundreds more. screw them. i have never ran an amd system, but next time im ready to upgrade i will buy theirs.
so i guess the simple solution there is to not claim the rebate then. rebates are bullshit. give the stores the rebates, and let the stores wait. 20 bucks for a store is pocket change.
i stand by it. mail in rebates of any kind should be illegal.
