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.

Lost 90 hours on a RNA Intron unit because of a kernel panic. I suspect the malaria control (which i was mixing) units are more stressful and my overclock may not be stable enough for them.
Is it true that bitcoin miners are making a significant impact on general AMD card prices? It seems kind of unlikely because the market for GPUs is pretty big.
I ended up going with Slackware64 and KDE (I guess I could have looked into a lighter gui, maybe later). Had a friend help me with that. Then I overclocked it to 4.7. Haven't decided whether I'll try for higher clocks...I could probably make 4.9 but I imagine the voltage/temps probably wouldn't...
Hey guys, I'm just about to be setting up a 2600k rig for BOINC (probably just Malariacontrol). Anyways, I was wondering which Linux distribution is the most efficient, or does it not make much difference? I don't have much Linux experience, but if there are noteworthy gains to choosing a light...
