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 was wondering: Isn't a Phenom II 980 a better choice? I mean, which software really does fully take advantage of 6 cores*? The 980 is clocked @3,7GHz, compared to 3,3GHz of the 1100T, which has a Turbomode(3,7GHz) but only when it uses 3 or less cores. And the 980 is cheaper.

The 6800 series scale really well in CF compared to the 5800 series. I was wondering if the reason for this are the latest drivers or the 6800 architecture.
The reason I want to know is because 5850 prices are dropping which makes buying two of those puppies very attractive. One 5850 is cheaper...
I just received my 550 BE (CACYC 0923bpaw, this stepping any good?). I haven't decided what HSF to buy, so I wanted to use the stockfan first. I was thinking about the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, which I can order at a lokal store, but I saw two version: CAC-SXHH3-U02 and XIG-RED-SCORP-S1283. I assume...
Question: Does bios F5 have the ec firmware selection=hybrid setting? I assume it does, but as far as I know Gigabyte also complied to AMD's wishes to remove the unlock capabilities of motherboards with 710/750, at least in the US where they supposedly removed all biosses capable of unlocking.
Question: which motherboard builders ignore AMD's request to pull biosses with unlock capabilities?
I know ASUS doesn't. I wanted to buy the new M4A79XTD EVO mobo, so I mailed support and got this answer:
Pussies!:P
The Romanian guy from xstremesystems.org forum had one, so I assumed those must be the denebs. I was probably wrong in my assumption, just like I was wrong in assuming that fab 1 in Dresden wasn't ready to massproduce Propus cores yet. I heard they had production problems. I should have said the...
I am looking at upgrading my old Athlon single core system. I have been reading and both the Athlon II X4 620* and the Phenom II 550 seem to be Deneb cores, which means both can be unlocked to become a Phenom II X4 processor. As I understand, the 550 can be overclocked a bit higher than the 620...
I got mine as well this week, and I have to say it has exceeded all of my expectations. It's cheap compared to other 30" monitors and mine is basically flawless. No backlight bleed, no dead pixels, no white glow, no sparkling effect. The only downside is that the PQ is not up to par with my...
Seems the monitor is for sale and some people already got it, yet I cannot find a single review on the net. I find that a little odd. Any of you find anything?
No, it is not subjective, since you can actually measure it. If you play online, those milliseconds can actually be the difference between kill or be killed. If were a gamer, you would know this.
The LG is a very interesting option. It utilizes the newest panel, yet it is as striped down as...
