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.

as long as it has good airflow (a few 40cm deltas) then yes, but it will be really loud

i didn't read the thread well the first time.. i highly doubt that heatsink will fit in a 1U case.. but that case is probably designed pretty well and the heatsinks might be made for that case specifically.. so i would just see what your temps are, with the normal ones.. and i bet it will be fine...
ok well I did a bit of searching around and the general consensus is that passive is better because it is bigger where as active you have a super hot heatsink that is really small with a fan on top. Now my question is which probably is pretty obvious but I want to check and make sure. Do you think getting new passive heatsinks (I know depending on which one) will perform better than the stock ones. I assume yes. What are you server guy's opinions?
