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.
i was looking at athlon-64s to see what prices were, and i noticed that venice comes stock at 1 ghz htt, does this mean that overclocking will be even more chipset limited then it already is?
no.there is an HT multiplier. stock settings for the cpu is a 200mhz HTT(fsb) with an HT multi of 5 for 1000. the multi can be lowered to 4, 3, 2 and in some cases 1.
i thought the nforce-3/4 chipset is the cause of major headaches of many kinds, perhaps its motherboard build related, my friends fx-53 did 3 ghz on air cooling and then his motherboard decided to die, he never managed to get another motherboard that could get it past ~2.6-2.8(dont remember exact clock, less then 3 ghz+ tho) after that
