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.
Thanks everyone for all the help!
Wound up going with this build:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: *Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($184.99 @ Directron)
Motherboard: ASRock H81M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($51.73 @ Micro Center)...
Thanks for the two options. The i5 is coming up at $508 which is a little bit too much out of budget. I'll look into the i3.
Do you guys think Intel is a much better choice over an AMD?
Hey all. Trying to do a build for my brother. He has a budget of $450 before MIR and after shipping. He is not a gamer. He wants the computer mostly for surfing the web and streaming movies but needs to ability to use it for video editing.
This is what I have at PCPartPicker but it is...
I plugged in my external USB drive and Vista is having a hard time recognizing it. It shows up in the device manager as Maxtor 6 Y160P0 USB drive but the icon next to it has an exclamation point. When I go to the properties of the drive there's an error message reading:
A driver (service)...
What kind of frame rates are you guys getting when playing TQ?
With AA on and at 1680x1050 I was only getting around 30.
Just curious as to what resolutions you guys are running and what frame rates you are getting.
Yeah the 4pin was what I was missing. The way that my PSU came it was two of the 4 pins like connected together so I couldn't find a 4pin and hence I didn't plug it in. It's running fine now. I haven't tortured it yet but I'll let you guys know when I do. What temps are you running btw?
