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.
Why not just buy another cooler? I doubt you will find them for sale being such an old cooler, you best bet will be used and ebay. The cooler was a very poor one when it came out, no less compared to current coolers you can get.
It fits the board, it fits the look, it does the job for what it is on. In short, aesthetics. If this system needed better then it would get better, as it is, visually appealing (which is purely subjective) takes precedence.
