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.

Question...
Okay, so I have a P180...
And I have a couple of these fans.
So, I put them (and some of the orange ones) in my case in various locations, but the problem is that the top vent has those bracket things you slide the fan in and 2 screws.. look at the picture of the fan and...
