World of Warships is great! I've been playing it since it went open beta. Thanks for mentioning it Josh!

If that white Radeon doesn't come with a white backplate, it will be a fail. And why not white fan blades?

Allyn - is it possible when the 5960X said "I'm running 100%" (for 2 million IOPS) there was actually another bottleneck than processing power throwing that flag? I'm just thinking with CPUs having more and more things integrated -- the RAM controller, the PCI-e bus, etc.. if one of those busses prevents the CPU from doing something, the CPU stalls and reports 100% utilization to Windows?

i.e. The fix might be easier than 'making the cores faster'?

I would love to see a comparison review between the new Sonos 5 and Sebastian's pick-of-the-week speakers paired with the NAD D3020 amp he mentioned combined with a Chromecast Audio.
Each of those would be about $500. With the NAD/Pioneer/Chromcast combo coming in more around $550.
That would be interesting.
