You should get one for yourself mate. The cooling is amazing! My GPU temps have gone down 5c to 6c already.
My GPU temp has stayed pretty much exactly the same since changing to the 540.
Can't say about the CPU as it's a new CPU and a new cooler.
The GPU temps may be a little different, but I've just done a fresh install so had to re-do my fan curve, which I think may have changed slightly, so that may account for any differences (higher or lower).
It is a good idea though having intake fans having an unobstructed path to the hot components. A bit like silverstone have been doing for years with the FT02, FT03, RV01 (I think), RV02, RV03 (?) and TJ11. Albeit with rotated motherboards, that despite the 'heat rises' theory probably didn't help cooling but did help the layout.
