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.
When installing the Thermalright SP-97, how do you know how tight to screw the four mounting screws? Is there some sort of tension springs or something?
there is a spring on the screws which prevents you from screwing any further down. if you overtighten you will most likely strip your screws and kill your core.
