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.

So you're suggesting I use 2 6 Pin to 8 pin rather than just 1 8 Pin with a 6 Pin that has been converted to an 8 Pin? Essentially don't use the 8 Pin and stick with the 2 6 Pins and convert them to 8 Pin?
Ok thank you for your thoughts like I stated above I'm not overly involved with hardware and wanted someone else's opinion before I do something that could have cost me. And like I said I won't be pushing it too often maybe just RL and Fallout for a few hrs a week until I build the new rig.
So I built my first system a while back and am currently using a GPU that uses duel 6 Pin connectors for its power consumption. However I am getting ready to remodel my system and recently purchased a GPU that requires two 8 Pin instead of 6 Pin not thinking it would be a problem. However after...
