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.
Awesome info! Thanks! I've already switched to that RAM you recommended and the HDD as well. With this amount of savings I might even splurge and add an SSD for the OS :D
Wow, thanks for these finds!!
When you say it will not do HD audio, do you mean it won't output the audio through HDMI? I have my surround outputting the audio directly from my TV, as long as this HTPC can output sound AND video from hdmi to my TV then I am in good shape. Not sure what not...
Any suggestions for an alternate PSU that is reliable and not too pricey?
I was told the onboard 4250 on that motherboard would be sufficient for HD playback, is this not correct?
I am going to have a go at building my first HTPC. I can't seem to get my public newegg wishlist to show up, so I screenshoted the list and I'll add links for each component. So thanks in advance for your opinions and feedback! :)
I will also be ordering a Ceton Quad Tuner not included in...
