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.
If you are overclocking you should have gone a bit higher than 650.
Try reseating the CPU, water should ALWAYS give better results than stock cooler.
What was the lowest possible vcore that CPU needed to run stock properly? 1.3 vcore sounds bit high; if my memory serves me right my i7...
I have a 950 on my backup PC, and it plays all my games flawlessly [I use it for single screen 2560x1600]. If you feel you need an upgrade, might want to look at maybe some more/faster RAM, a vga upgrade, or some SSDs [if you don't have either].
3.7Ghz is fairly easy on a 950; you should be...

This auction is for an empty Seagate Backup plus USB 3.0 enclosure. It is literally brand new, in the sense that I bought it 2 days ago; I removed the drive and have no use for the enclosure. This is an USB 3.0 enclosure with its own power supply, and the connection to the drive [SATA...
Item is sealed, BNIB. Due to the nature of the item, and the mishandling that occurs when building a PC, item can be returned within 14 days, but only if not opened. If a forum member buys it, and the unlikely scenario that it goes bad occurs, I will provide assistance in replacing it. I...
PS: The site clearly states the price matching is for LOCAL STORES within 25 miles from the store you show up at. I don't believe they price match online only stores; and if they have for someone, consider a gift.
BestBuy always comes through for me price matching wise; don't know why so many of you don't get it. Just 2 days ago I got them to price match the Costco ad on the Seagate 4TB drives, got 2 from the website [said they had a 2 item limit] and two from the local store.
Just got two of these for $209.99 each at Newegg... everyone else has it for $224.99 and up.
Thanks for the info in this review, it really pushed me to grab it.
There are plenty of guides on how to OC RAM per platform [SB, X58, X48, AMD]. The values you actually change are the ones corresponding to the x-x-x-xx xT and the voltage; meaning if you buy RAM that is said to do 9-9-9-28 2T on 1.5v you can in most cases manipulate those values as the vendor...
Holding myself over with a set of these, until IB is released and I see what is out there.
