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.
I have a new 9800 Pro 256 MB, and running any games makes it hot, and I haven't even OC'ed it yet. I havent upgraded any fans so far on it, meaning I still have the stock cooling. Any budget (<25) recommended fans?
a slot cooler might work. some people like them, others dont. personally in this case it may be a good option. Its going to get warm, but if its getting HOT, you may have a cooling issue to begin with. So rather than mod the card id improve your case cooling, see how much it improves then go from there. If the card is going to go poof on you, you dont want it moded hehe.
