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.

Well, the "chirping" is going to drive me nutz at some point.. I need to find out what I can do about it, but it seems to be folding now. In retrospect (I got my card off e-bay NIB and had to RMA it about 2 days later) I really should have just bought a C2D system and made my life easier.
plus it appears that on my Opty 165 I need to disable one core completely in order to get decent performance (FahCore_10.exe takes ~50% CPU)

it failed while water cooled (MCW60). I really do not think it was an e-bay thing, since the card was sealed etc. Yes, I would have perferred to have gotten it from newegg or so, but they were sold out.Bill Clo said:
My anger is less directed at ebay or the seller, but rather ATi. Their RMA process is a major PITA and takes AGES.

why do you need to disable a core? You should have two FahCore_xx.exe running at about 50% CPU time.drizzt81 said:
blah, so it appears that my production took a nosedive, my ears are bleeding from the "chirping" and installing the ATi card has screwed up my video playback in IE. On top of it all, it "barely" overclocks to ~711/ 810 whilst being watercooled.
So based on the fact that it's watercooled I'm assuming the chirping is not coming from the fan 
I had a motherboard that was making weird electrical noises...wouldn't overclock worth a damn. Had to RMA it.
Maybe it's time for RMA #2? Or you could always sell it at a bit of a loss and the new owner could RMA it. Some people don't mind doing this if they get a deal. Then buy a new one for yourself.

What power supply are you using? They can make some noises that I'd describe as cicada-like if the inductors aren't glued into place properly.
You could take the machine out of the case and move the PSU away from the card a little to help diagnose.

Seasonic 600W, but i got it used from a forum member. Maybe he abused it or something.unhappy_mage said:What power supply are you using? They can make some noises that I'd describe as cicada-like if the inductors aren't glued into place properly.
