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.

Intel OEM CPU warranty
- Thread starter tale

The OEM warranty is whatever the retailer gives it. You can't return an OEM CPU back to Intel for warranty (but I'm sure someone has managed to do that before). Some sites give 30-90 days and some give 1 year.

No, it's not. Like I said above:OEM warranty is usually 1yr from Intel.
