• 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.

Can decide...please help me.

What do you guys think? Anything else to add to the list?
 
HOLY SHIT!

You're still using the Apevia PSU? I'm surprised your system isn't dead yet.

Anyway, the Earthwatts 500W from is on sale now from newegg for $50. It should be enough for your needs.

Yup...Going on two months now with the apevia 500w PS. I just added the 4850 last week but was using a 3870 before that. For some reason i cant overclock over 3.2 ghz. Has neone been able to do a higher overclock just by changing the PS?

I don't like the Earthwatts PS's because they are grey and the cables aren't wrapped. I'm gonna go with the modular one. Thanks for all your guys help.
 
What modular PSU are you planning on getting? I recommend getting the Corsair 520HX 520W PSU.

Rarely will swapping out the PSU does improve OCs. However I urge you to replace the PSU ASAP.

I recommend getting it from ZipZoomFly.com for $109. That's where I got my 520HX. Had no problems with them.
