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.
It will be another buggy mess as always. I was a huge fan of Battlefield but have refused to give another cent to EA, and DICE still hasn't fixed the bugs from bf2, bfbc2, bf3, or bf4. I still play bfbc2 today, and have skipped everything since then, as I continue to stand by my boycott.
I ended up buying a 30 pack of switches and just replace them when they start acting up. This isn't for everybody though because it voids warranty, you usually need to replace the mouse feet, and it requires solder skills. As far as I know, most mice nowadays use Omron switches so I'm not sure...
Might as well get the i5-4590, it's effectively the same price.
Also, I think that mobo is a little bit too enthusiast level and you could do with something cheaper ($50-$70) with the H87 chipset instead of the Z87.
You can go cheaper on the case too (~$30) but that's an aesthetic...
On asusparts.eu they list a 45 pin FFC cable for the CS5110 but all they list for the CS5111 are SATA cables. :confused:

Dumb question, but is the 3L-ODD part an adapter board that can be removed from the ODD and then it will have a regular IDE connector?
Looking at the connectors, your cable should look something similar to this maybe...
Again, I looked at the pics on Newegg and your video card has one 8 pin and one 6 pin connector. So does your current power supply.
Your card:
Enhance:
Your power supply:
That PS specs says it has a 6 pin PCIe and a 6+2 pin PCIe connector. I looked at a few 7970s on newegg and they all had an eight pin and six pin which would be compatible with your power supply. You should go back and double check what you're working with.
You really should toss that power...
They might be ok if you used separate wire looms for each video card wire adapter. You're basically running the card off of one 12v wire which is obviously not sufficient to handle the amperage that the card pulls. The wattage of the power supply is not important in this case because even if you...
SSD is a mSATA Crucial M500 in a Wesena ITX7 case. Cooler is a Prolimatech Samuel 17 with a Scythe "SLIP STREAM SLIM" 120 x 12mm Fan. The ram clearance is low, I had to remove the heatsinks for it to fit. I don't use the wireless.
Personally, I'd consider the Streacom equivalent case. It's a little more expensive, but after you've bought a new HS, noise insulation, Noctua fan, etc., you'll probably even out in price. In addition, you'd have a completely silent case when you're done.
Perfect Home Theater has some defect...
Your temps should be much lower than that at only 4.3Ghz.
What's the voltage showing under load at 4.3? You may need to modify the offset in the bios to lower it or set it to manual. Once on my Asus Gene-z with 2500k the mobo decided to auto set the voltage at 1.67. :eek:
