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.
Sorry for the late answer,
You need to use the adapter on 79xx and 280x cards with an universal gpu waterblock since the chip is slightly recessed and won't make contact with the waterblock without it.
The Tech Reps from Ek should have told you that. If you check on...
Hi,
Did you use the "EK-VGA Supreme HF HD7970 Cu Adapter" between the chip and block.
Otherwise there is no contact made between block and chip.
