• 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.

Decisions, decisions

enginurd, on your boards, do you re-seat the heatpipes & heatsink with the original plastic pins, or can you use metal bolts, those plastic pins look too flimsy to ensure a good contact between heatsink and the components they're meant to be cooling.

I re-use the plastic pins. The spings keep the contact ok. If you want better contact, get some screws, nuts, and stronger springs. With re-using the plastic pins and replacing the thermal compound, I improve temps between 3 - 8°C.
