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.
Nice Surprise

just got my 510 sli 30 minutes ago. Can't wait to get off work to go install it.
Mighty heavy it seems. Reeks quality.
Hope the noise doesn't bother me.

I just installed it, but haven't fully tested it with load.
It is a bit louder than my older power supplies, but it's not that bad.
I'm a type of person that's very picky about most things. And I was extremely worried about the noise level on this thing.
Plus the fact that it automatically adjusts the fan speed according to the heat is a plus. I would go crazy if this blew at full speed all the time.
At normal use, I can't hear it over my other fans (cpu, gpu, case).
I would have to test it a bit more to see how louder it gets, but as of now - it's definitely quiet enough.
I will post an update after a few days of use regarding noise level, stability and whatnot.
Although I really wanted a modular psu, I decided to take a bite on this (the custom modulated ones from performance-pcs didn't justify the $150 premium imo).
Currently I'm glad that I decided to purchase this one. The cables are sleeved in a quality manner. And it was easy to just tie the cables I dont need and tuck them in one of the drive bays.
I will update more in detail as days go by. ^^

Ok an update.
This psu is noisy as hell under load.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to tolerate the noise. =.=
Thinking of returning it, or changing the fan..
will update more soon

If it's the same fan used in the 850W SSI PSU I can understand your lack of enthusiasm. I built a PC for a guy with one a while back and it was the loudest thing in his system and compared to my PC it was enough to drive me up the freaking wall... He says it's about the same volume as his last PC though so he's happy with it and as long as the customer's happy I'm happy.
