I have a Logitech G710+ which I really like because of the brown MX switches and I also moved up from a previous logitech keyboard. It has variable white LED lighting but I'm not sure how it will cope in your dishwasher cycle!

This is not recommended and you could end up with data corruption on your sata drives by running the PCIe bus overclocked. Best to stick with the slightly slower speeds if you value your data!

I have a transcend storejet 25m3 which comes in 1tb and 2tb capacities. The case is what got me interested as is has a multi level shock protection system (or so they say)! It has been dropped a couple of times and surprisingly it's still going strong - I'm actually more impressed than I thought I would be. I have the 1TB version and I believe it has a Samsung drive inside.

It sounds like your cooler is not making good contact with the CPU. What is the contact patch like when you remove the stock cooler, has the arctic silver compound spread evenly and thinly across the heatspreader?

I've tried a few but the best value and the one I use currently is MX-4. Took a heatsink off a 2500k CPU recently where the paste had been on for a couple of years and it still had good consistency
