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.
Looking for the cheapest possible i7/i9 8th or 9th gen CPU.
Rather one that has not been overclocked or abused. If you have the stock cooler great. If no cooler not an issue.
I now have 2 boards, not sure which is better
MSI MPG Z690 Carbon and Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Ultra
Originally I was planning to just use the MSI board, but had no ram, got lucky the other day and was able to get a combo deal on newegg and finally got some DDR5.
Which board is better?
Finally got my i9-12900K delivered last night.
looking to get the
ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4 and CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE
going with DDR4 based on all of the reviews that there really is no difference, but it the board i'm going with a good match for the i9?
Besbuy has them in stock. I just ordered one

I think 10th gen is where i am going to end up, but any reason not to take the 10900K? also should I go with a Z590, or will there be no benefit since I'm not using an 11th gen?
I need a new CPU. Running an i7-2600K that was overclocked to 5GHz for a very long time, and now isn't stable at stock speeds for more than a day with no load.
Can't decide if i should get a 10th/11th gen or wait for the 12th as I have a 3080 Ti sitting in a box to go into this new build
Got this for my son for a new PC build, but ended up going with an 11th gen i9 instead. It was never opened, and i'm past the return period.
Looking for what i paid which is $400, and will include shipping in the US
