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.
Hi, I am a n00b at the best stuff in watercooling and what to avoid so I came here. I'm really looking for a good setup that will cool my cpu mainly, and maybe my RAM. What would be the best thing for me? Under $200-250 would be best!!.
Do some more research at places like Overclockers.com, Procooling.com, etc. Because you're a fellow student who's probably bored like me already this summer, here's a simple, high performing setup:
Danger Den TDX/D5 combo: $109 (under Special Deals)
Black Ice Pro2 or Black Ice Xtreme2: $36 (BIP2)/$58 (BIX2)
2x120mm fans (your choice, do your research)
10' of Clearflex 60 or 10' of 7/16"id-5/8"od tubing: $10-$20
T-line or reservoir (research): $2-$20
Distilled h2o, biocide, hoseclamps, etc.: $20-$20
Total: can be under $200 with a little planning
If you want gpu cooling as well, then add a Maze4 low profile + some ramsinks.
