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.
How long should I Scan for Artifacts to make sure my overclock will not cause any artifacting or instability issues? Right now, I stop after an hour. Is this long enough or should I let it run longer?
How long are your gaming sessions usually? I did mine for 6 hours at a time. Took forever and a day to get to the stable point, but it works. I have since gone back to stock as a I don't game that often anymore.
