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.
Interesting read. I have the 1st release PNY Ultra (bios .13) and have never had a single issue. Seems they say the latest bios reduces performance by relaxing timings. I am rather sceptible about the bios being an issue since there are so many people NOT having problems with older bios.
The .10.13 bios gives me much better performance and stability than the .15.07 bios... I was only able to reach 445mhz on the core w/ 1.5v with the .15.07, but with the .10.13 I'm able to reach 460mhz... In Doom 3 timedemo it averaged 61fps at 1280 X 1024 (high quality setting, 4X Anti, and all eye candy on)
