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.
lesson learned...

and that is exactly why i love my alpha (now that my fan is actually bolted to it, i had it fall off on me once in transit)
socket mounting holes++
that really does suck for you though. i know it'd take a bit to keep me from shooting myself if i lost my chip like that (like say a a64 setup)
what paly was it?

Have an old duron 750megahertz, with a burn spot luckily it didn't die although it was a quick thing. Still use it everyonce in a while when checking another mobo if it works.

My webserver is an Athlon 950MHz Slot-A (100MHz FSB Orion). The HSF on it is quite heafty with two small (looked like 40mm??) fans on it side-by-side. Well they got so bad (noise wise) that I just coudnt take it and disconnected the fans thinking the massive HS would be enough to passivly cool the proc. Boy was I wrong. About 15 minutes later my wife says "Whats the burning smell?" Sure enough, I hit the button on my KVM to look @ the webserver and it was a BSOD. I smelt the case blowhole and almost knocked me out. I turned off the computer and let it sit for a long while (like 3 days) while I scrounged up another fan. (ended up just putting a single 60MM on there from a K6-2 400MHz HSF I had laying around which is like 10x the CFM of those two little 40s that were on there.) Anyway, besides the DISTINCT smell of burning electronics, there was no harm done to the proc. (I cant imagine how) Still use it as my webserver and email server.
AMD... Your procs must have 9 lives to live through that kind of torture. I will probably continue to use this computer as a webserver for a very long time now that it has "sentimental" value .
haha
