Nope I haven't covered X79 much TBH
Find out what the MOSFETS are, and what PWM it uses and I can give you an opinion on it

670 TDP is 170W...i'd say you're probably fine stock settings but once you touch voltage for overclock then it might not be enough.

Also, if i were interested in getting this built as a new set up, what would I be missing? What would building costs be like? | That's a water cooling set up. Not something for beginners and not something a lot of people could do. It's also missing a video card and a case from what I can tell.

Just finished testing the Noctua NH-U14S and holy crap it's better than I expected!
Single tower cooler performs better than any dual tower I have while in silent mode
That's with a really hot CPU too! Tomorrow I'll see if it can take my 4770K past 4.7 GHz (doubtful but we'll see)

How would you compare it to the higher-end liquid cooling AIOs? H100, H220, Eisberg, etc. From the looks of it I'm guessing they're pretty damn close...

speaking of the H220
swiftech teamed up with Cooler Master to counter the Asetek patent trolling that had the Swiftech AIOs banned from US
basically a H220 with CM fans, +500rpm pump speed and sata power connection Glacer 240L - Cooler Master |
