5950x with ek pe360 / quantum velocity. Good bit lower temp than the 5900x's I've had. That's after 1 run of r20 single and multi. I think the techn is probably stuck now with DHL (last seen in Germany making its way here). I'll post pics with the new block on when it arrives.
How does this hold up when the 5800X is under load?
Very well, was surprised, at full load it never goes above 65-70 degrees and i've not even started to look at overclocking it yet......
just keep in mind your experience may be different, slight difference in PBO settings or even same settings on different board and your CPU will flat out to 90C under load, also definitions of full load are kind of fluid I'm pretty sure it's not keeping it under 70C with something like Prime95 Small FFT & AVX, unless CPU is in ECO modeThat might just be enough to convince me to buy one and sell my dark rock slim

This would be my pick (nh-d15). I have an NH-D14 still in use on my 3700x.
Pain in the butt to find the AM4 adapter kit though, it's putting me off upgrading my 5820k...
I can't remember where I got mine from but I don't remember it being so difficult. I just bought it from an online retailer.
may be, may be not, 240mm AIO is really nothing that big and top Air Coolers like your Be Quiet or Noctua 15 will, in most scenarios, match or beat itSurely it can't be worse than what I've got?
Please don't take offense, but this is where I draw the line between performance and aesthetics! There is no way I would have some like that in my case. It's an abomination!5800X with this
Ok, I stand corrected. That does look quite cool actually. It's the sheer **** off-ness that is speaking to me when I look at that! Pretty hardcore!
