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.
Oh yes I backup on additional computers and an external hard drive. Right now my new build is in a state where it's not a big deal to reinstall/format/whatever in order to maximize performance.

Thanks for the quick reply Danny. If I do keep this setup, shouldn't I change my SATA setup in my BIOS to AHCI instead of RAID? If I understand correctly, AHCI has additional features that drives can utilize.
I have been a fan of [H] for so very long. 90% of my PC purchases have been a direct result of information obtained on these forums and I have had nothing but wonderful results.
However, I feel lost when it comes SSD/HDD configurations.
I have always been one of those people who just...
The main reason I love AMD is because the first CPU I ever overclocked was AMD. It was a mere 200MHz. That's a low OC by today's standards, but I was (and still am) amazed by the performance I can squeeze out of AMD products.
The first thing I thought to myself was that it looks pretty and might make my girlfriend jealous.
However, if I had to pick one feature I'd go with the flip-open design. We all know that "Dang, I need to take apart my PC to fix this one little thing" feeling. This case looks like it makes...
I remember a couple of times [H]ardOCP would post an article with the best builds for a $1000 and $2000 budget. I thought it was around December (before xmas) when they did this.
Anyone know? I ask because my cousin wants an entirely new system and doesnt have a huge budget. And of course...
