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.
Hey Format,
Don't know if you are worried about cost, but the chipset fan on my old Asus A8N-SLI went out as well. I just called up ASUS support and they sent me a new one for free.
My Gigabyte DS3L will do it anytime I set a bad overclock. IE, FSB too high, not enough volts, bad RAM timing, etc.. Just tweaking that stuff back to a suitable range fixes the problem. I could always tell when the board would reset itself because on POST the machine would shut down and start...
Got mine at futurepowerpc.com

Free shipping and no tax for us Cali peeps. CPU shipped out right away as well. It was $215.99 when I bought it though. Seems to be $227.99 now, but looks like it is still in stock.
