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.
Guys I am in the middle of a water-cooling project and would like to connect two 290 video cards with a "bridge", basically trying to make it look clean and not just put a regular tube in between. What do I purchase to connect the two?
Do your blocks match? Who makes them? If you're buying the EK blocks EK makes a link connector thinger than goes between. You just need to buy the one that fits the correct spacing (i.e. 2 slot or 3 slot etc.)
I have the Asus Maximus Hero motherboard so I am using the 2 red PCI16 slots. I have the EK waterblocks for the 290/290x. I cant figure out which one I need to connect the two because I am confused on the spacing.
You have 3 slot spacing between those two slots. Activate:AMD is correct that there is a gap where another PCI slot could go right underneath the top PCIe x16.
