If you have a video card (or two) heating up the inside of the case, and a pair of mechanical drives in front of the front intake, the CPU is being cooled by all that hot air. It's not ALWAYS the case, but sometimes it works better to reverse things. It's definitely worth trying both ways before settling down on something.

AMD's Answer to GeForce GTX 700 Series: Volcanic Islands | techPowerUp

New AMD 20nm leaked and is speculated to launch end of this year or early next year.

Looks like AMD might be able to one up Nvidia

GTX 780 is official

HARDOCP - GeForce GTX 780 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Video Card Review

that's a nice gain for a refresh but at the end of the day...it's still $650
I do have to say the real-world gains from the overclocking seems really great

Spotted in Akihabara, new Intel SSD models that haven't been announced yet:



Can't say anything about them, but the specs are there. These are enterprise drives, similar to the Intel DC-S3700.

I spilt literally half a cup of coffee onto my black widow last night.. I unplugged/turned it over and let it air-dry over night, and it works fine this morning. However, whenever I press my "b" key it types "bt" instead. Is there a way to fix this?

Disassemble the keyboard, use q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean off the contacts where you can see coffee. Something is shorting out the contacts for those two keys.

Thanks, I just let it air dry and it works again.

But quite a few of my keys are sticky, so I guess I still have to disassemble it (any tips?)..

There's a bunch of youtube tutorials on cleaning/disassembling the blackwidow keyboard.

Not sure which one would apply to your exact situation. (I didn't bother watching the videos)

Any recommendation on a mid-end gaming system with Haswell? like CPU + MB recommendation. Would prefer MATX or even ITX.

I'm Looking for something that can play FF14 ARR smoothly, so it will probably will be pared with a 780GTX.

What I have in mind so far for this setup
MATX or ITX case + 500-600w PSU
All in One water cooler setup to fit such setup
Z87 board?
Haswell i5 or i7
16GB ram 8GBx2 (please recommend brand and speed)
780GTX
250GB SSD

I think thats it for what I need, since I won't need a optical drive or additional storage as I have everything on NAS and cloud already.

IMO the HyperX 3K is one of the best SSDs out there. If it's on sale, even betters

I dunno... I thought anything not SLI is consider mid-range

I'm gonna run at 1080P at most. I thought the game is quite demanding, so getting the second best video card should be able to run it smoothly.
