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.
The product I'm referring to is the dual-slot 8600 GTS at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127284
Reviews aren't very conclusive:

How long does the stuff last if it's not applied? I've had two tubes from 2004 that I never finished using, and I'm wondering if they'll still be good.
It gets worse. I just checked my autocomplete history on this computer (this was the computer I bought the 8600 GTS on). I recall Googling the part # to make sure it was the right one. Sure enough, the part # in the autocomplete history on this computer is GV-NX86S256H ... not GV-NX86S256H-B...
If you can find it... it's sold out everywhere. I thought eWiz.com was carrying the silent version of the card on launch day, but I just got it today, and it's the regular fan-cooled version :mad:
The Gigabyte 8600 GTS I ordered from eWiz just came in. Unfortunately... it is *not* the Silent Pipe version! I got the regular version with a fan. Doh. Any suggestions on what to do? I've emailed them, and I'm currently waiting for a response.

I've done a bunch of research, and I finally found a post on Logitech's forum. A guy claims that the Sanus EFSat and HF1 stands both work, as long as you get the optional EFB bracket mounting (http://www.standsandmounts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2028). I'll try it out and see how...
You need to use the 6-channel direct analog connection if you want positional sound in games and the like, since the Audigy can't encode 6-channel sound to DTS/DD. Since I've read that the digital coax/optical connection is better for movies and music (especially for movies, since the DTS/DD...
If I have an older sound card (Audigy 2), will I still be able to connect to the digital coax input on the z-5500 using the RCA adapter? And will it actually be surround sound?
I've seen a few past threads on this, but there doesn't seem to be anything definitive. I don't want to take the feet off the speakers, since I've read there's a nut inside that will fall off and make them impossible to re-attach. Is there a "standard" bracket that will attach to the...
