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.
My linksys' have a tendency to hang after a few days of use. Goggling around tells me it's a pretty common problem among their routers. Yes it is cheaper than the Airport Extreme and on paper it is a better deal. My order for the 5th gen airport extreme can't come soon enough.
@Schlep: Thanks for pointing out that my ram was configured as single channel. I had completely overlooked that fact. It has sped up my POST considerably!
Does this mean your front USB3.0 ports are now connected to the USB2 headers ojn the motherboard?
I don't remember the P8P67m pro or any other motherboards having USB3.0 headers... or am I mistaken?
I am using the H50 with push pull fans in my FT03 with all fans replaced with GT AP-15s. My 2600k (@4.5GHz on load) idles at around the high 30's. It was idling at low 30s before I remounted without changing the oem TIM. Can't be bothered reseating it properly until I get my B3 board...
No, I'm not, but thanks! :)
My 3 HDDs are around 50C, so not too bad. It does get passively cooled somewhat by the panels since they are relatively thick. Not sure about a silver arrow as that's pretty big, but the FT03 definitely has a lot more room for a high end tower heatsink compared to...
Thanks InfernalMachine. Bought 4x Gentle Typhoon AP15's and 2x Y splitters. Boy are they expensive to get in New Zealand. Ekkkk! Hopefully they are worth the money...
There is one 120mm intake fan angled towards the 6950 (this is removable and can be replaced with 2x 80mm fans) and a 120mm intake fan angled towards the CPU, sitting above the PSU.
I have my 2600k at 4.5GHz@1.375V in the FT03 using a Corsair H50 on the oem TIM and the temps are mid to high 30s idle and and around mid 70s on load. Not the best for sure but then again it's the middle of summer here and I have one of the bottom case fans disconnected because I find it a bit...
Those are the 2 cases I was considering when I was looking for a matx case. I went with the FT03 in the end because it looked like it had better cooling, a smaller footprint and didn't have the psu in the way that would require the removal of every time you wanted to get to something on the...
Hi Infernal, I'll been following your new rig thread with great interest. Thank for your reply.
What rpm do these run at on idle? I assume you have these plugged into the CPU fan header with a Y splitter? I noticed these aren't PWM controlled. Just wondering what difference, if any, PWM fans...
The filtered part is for the middle intake case fan, the unfiltered part is for the PSU exhaust.
My case is exactly the same. Can't see this as being a big deal though.
Put this together over the week after waiting for the FT03 for over a month. Initially ordered and paid for the Lian Li V354 but it was out of stock so decided to get the FT03 instead since I had to wait anyway.
Parts are:
i7 2600k w/ Corsair H50
Asus P8P67-M Pro
8GB GSkill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600...
