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.

Pin 4 -------------- Pin 5 (GND)
(Pin 5 & 6 not connected)

I get as far as installing the vib file but it complains about not finding a certificate
I have set my vmware to accept "Community" level files but no dice?
Although I've had many dual socket configurations (Been a big fan since my dual Coppermine P3's) I figured its not the biggest or best but I should post my new build on here too!
