All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

Very nice, LED`s add some bling. ps My Azza fusion 4000 case was held up in customs ( they couldn`t figure out why a person would need a case 32 inches high , thought it might be used for some sort of illegal operation. Morons ! ) Bought TFC monsta 420 X 4 inch thick rad to cool chiller and daisy-chain later. Expect case in 3 days can finally start building in earnest. Will keep you posted. Your`re the best !

As a complete moron and new person to any cooling in general, after reading the hype for this thread, i'm definitely interested in one. I figure if i'm going to build a water cooling set, i'm going to go ball to the wall best I can get. Why spend on cheaper pieces now if you are going to upgrade them later? I'd rather save the money and get the best then. The older parts will be worthless.
My major question is: What do you think the minimum PSU Wattage is needed for this? Can I safely assume that a 600W is out of the question?
Info:
I plan on overclocking an i7 2600k as high as I can comfortably take it, and possibly considering overclocking my GTX 480 (Forged in the fires of Hell), although it's so powerful already I don't think it's on my priority list. I plan on doing some CPU intensive work on my PC (a sort of side business).
If I assume that I won't be overclocking my 480, an XSPC EX360 Rad should do the trick I hope?

You'ed want something as powerful as the Quad Direct Die to cool a SB-E if you were overclocking. If the CPU was stock, this thing would cool that thing beautifully, but it's rated for 130W - 150W loads. All SB-E CPUs I'm aware of are 130W so there's not much headroom in the block.
The Quad is rated for +200W loads, sadly it's only for 1155 at the moment. Gotta find a way to mount the block without being able to screw through the motherboard or the block itself. Then it'ed be ready for LGA 2011

Make a bracket to lock onto the board and mount the block to the bracket done.
