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.

This could have been disproven...I...
Have you tried reseating it and applying a fresh layer of thermal paste? More paste is not always better. Try everything before you bash the company / cooler... :rolleyes:
Are you running on some kind of 'weird' display (by weird, I mean anything that is not a CRT computer monitor)? Maybe you're running it at it's non-native resolution?
If your processor runs at a lower voltage, and it's stable, count yourself lucky. :p
More voltage will only increase the heat output and reduce the processor lifespan. Don't increase voltage unless you need to (OCing, for example).
Actually, that's happened to me. I plugged in my PS/2 keyboard, and it didn't work. So I turned the computer off, plugged it in, booted up, didn't work. So I tried a different keyboard, didn't work. So I was "forced" to upgrade to the Logitech Cordless MX Duo (which uses USB, except for the...
Not sure. Right now, I just have 6 of those things sitting up there. Four on the bottom row, two on top. Today, I picked up another 14" monitor, another KFC. I had an idea today - maybe I'll buy some splitters, and hook them all up so they show the same picture? I wasn't sure if this was...
