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.
From what I hear, the only chipsets that support the new Preslers are 955X and 975X. Do any older chipsets work? Boards with the 955X and 975X are just too expensive. Are there BIOS flashes that could allow older chipsets to support it?
945/955 & 975 boards should all work. Some might need a new BIOS though. Check the motherboard's website to be sure they've already implemented the latestest BIOS to support 900 series chips (presler).
