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.
does anyone use kimwipes + isopropanol to remove thermal compound? or, do you guys just use a paper towel? i would imagine that something which is lint-free would be best.
I have always used q-tips (ie: cotton swab on a stick). Dip the tip in isopropanol, and you're good to go. I've never had any debris come off the q-tip, since it's tightly packed to start with. They're also probably going to be cheaper than Kim wipes.
