What is the max TDP of this cooler?

250w. You can easily overclock on this - as good as custom loop way better than sealed aio loops

Hello Friend, cannot say, I returned mine as it was faulty,their customer service were rude and agressive,so I bought an excellent cooler from Noctua.Would suggest you do likewise. They do a great range that will fit your case.

It's really more complicated than that, the card itself is 60W TDP (Thermal Design Point). You must consider your system's makeup -- i.e. processor, expansion cards, USB devices, drives, # monitors, and memory. Try searching on "power supply calculators" to see.That said, this card's TDP is so low, most systems should run it fine. A 300W PSU with an i7 CPU and lots of peripherals might have issues.

Get a different cooler those temps are too high! Cooler master 212, you will drop into the low 50's

10mm is my guess. The cooler is 50mm if your going to upgrade get a 50mm and modify it. The CPU fan is about the size of a 50 cent coin.

I used 5/8 outer diameter and have it cooling a intel xeon and an r9 290. The card never reaches over 35 celsius! Its a great pump/res. Very quiet. Hard to fill, be patient and slow when filling or it will run out due to air blocking the fill port. Also look around for the xspc d5 pump ring (google it). Makes the pump look so much better without pump modding know-how.

Yes, TDP is 250w and rarely approaches that. I run two of them with an i7-3770K, H100 water pump, four data drives, and a sound card, and rarely break 550w at the wall under load.

Max temp on this processor is 62c, for a longer lasting lifespan you don't want it above 58c under full load, I thought you should know this so you can make a fair judgement. The stock heatsink is not going to OC and keep you in that temp range under full load. The coolermaster hyper 212 is an excellent low cost replacement, I personally use a zalman 9900max but its a bit pricey for air cooling. When you OC this chip it can pull up to and a bit over 300 watts on 12v. Save your components the stress and spend a bit for a hyper 212

Reference coolers are horrible. Sounds like a jet-engine taking off. I ended up returning this one and backordering (2) XFX R9 290's DD coolers with the same lifetime warranty (with registration)

That's a loaded question. It depends on the TDP of your system and how much heat you're pushing out. If you have a blower style gpu like a reference 780 or r9 290x then you're heat is negligible at best. This all depends on yours ambient temps too. Just remember, if you're overclocking you'll need the headroom for a radiator, fans and piping. I have a 4790k, msi AC, and an Asus r9 290x direct cu ii. I'm using an h100i and never see temps above 38c @4.7Ghz. It's the best enthusiast case for an itx system imo.

I will say no. I'm currently using the biggest Bequiet heatsink with two (1 120mm and 1 140mm) and it still idles at 45 and goes up to 60 - 65 degrees when playing BF3

Neither is it PLS, nor does it have a single DP. You may only connect via a good DVI-D cable, but then you can overclock to 2560x1440 @ 120hz (+-20hz about, depending on your luck) I bought this exact model before and unless they totally changed it, the description is plainly misleading/wrong now.

AMD FX-Series FX-8120 Black Edition Eight Core Processor (3.10 GHz, 16MB Cache, Socket AM3+, 125W, 3 Year Warranty, Retail Boxed) recently tried to run on 4.4 Ghz so far no prob temp max around 40C fan is almost silent. About the case I am do not know I having Cooler Master Silencio 550 USB3.0 ATX Case And I did have to remove the plastic top of it so if you will have fanon the side of that case you definitely will not fit. Plastic top is easy to remove, and cooler looks fine. Hope I helped you.

Probably noticeable in temperatures. I wouldn't worry though, the stock cooler is surprisingly efficient. Might be a bit louder aswell.

I would say a sound no, as this cooler is rated for a 70 watt TDP, and the FX-8350 is rated as a 125w processor. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for my 8350, and it works great. I recommend buying a cooler that's rated for a 125w TDP processor from any vendor, including Arctic, Cooler Master, Zalman, Noctua, etc.

it probably will, but i wouldn't recommend it unless the fan you have on the cooler you have is actually breaking. also because of the power that the 260x uses 125w it will get very hot. i used mine on a 55w HD4650 and with the fan it did get up in the 40-50c (if i remember correctly), and with more than twice the TDP i would say probably not. if you are looking for silence i would recommend a ARCTIC Accelero S1 Plus VGA Cooler.
