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.
Being a recent 2600K Sandybridge user to move to the 6700K. It was not the CPU that got me to move. It was features on the newer chipset / motherboard that I wanted. And my older ASUS MAXIMUS IV Extreme and 6700K still runs great as a second system.
I've still got a pair of Force GT (SATA II) 240 GB and they run great... even if a bit slow by current standards. Been looking at the 960 500GB myself. But it's nice to see other entries into that speed market. I hope it brings the price down a bit since Samsung can basically charge whatever...
Well if we are going from the begining....
Diamond Steath + Monster 3D 8MB (And I still have them BOTH!!!!!) > Monster 3D II, VooDoo 2000, VooDoo 4000, GeForce 2 MX, Radeon 8500, Radeon 9700 Pro, after that it was such a blur of cards.
While I do find it a little "I didn't get invited to the party" you have a very good point. And that is very sad. I remember when AMD and ATI merged and the idea of them putting something special together to make a really good platform was great sounding. It's a shame both groups have done...
I'm going to second this one. If you don't plan to re-apply every 6-12 months I would go with Céramique 2 . The 2 is SO MUCH easier to work with then the first release that was basically spreading a pencil eraser . But it will last forever.
On the short term. I've played with IC-Diamond, MX7...
Ok while I'm still inside the return / exchange period for my ASUS Max VIII Hero what is the difference between it and the Hero Alpha other then a colored light controller and header that I'll likely never use.
