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.
Aren't the stock coolers for the Prescotts not able to cool the CPU well enough? If this is the case than it might not be wise to enable smart-fan at all (assuming that you're using a Prescott, of course).
Well they aren't as good as some custom ones, but the stock is able to cool it well enough. Stock is pretty good these days, and will keep the Prescott within stable temperatures if everything was installed correctly and the system is running fine.
