I am double looping my system, the corsair h90 is for the graphics card, and the h110 is for the cpu, but I am really stressing the temperature of this cpu, since I've read it gets hot being as it runs at an ungodly 220 Watts. Is there a way to measure it with my NZXT fan controller, or where would the best place to place it be?

Unless you already have the CPU dont.

Its just a factory OC 8350, which is an OC 8320. Same exact architecture. For much less you can get identical performance by OCing yourself.
The best option would be to go intel in this case, take the 4670k for example, it offers MUCH more performance, and dosent require a 100 dollar cooler to run. I also wouldnt water cool the GPU, there is no need. If you were going to a reference card would be better. The DCUII cooler is more than enough.

K those are my opinions to make, my question was with the cpu not to sway me into getting an Intel, I don't mean to sound like a mean person but I get tired of saying AMD is better, Intel is better, I'm not bias, I am building one Intel machine, and one AMD machine. I just want to know if its enough to cool the thing.

The cooling will be enough, personally I would still get the 8320, its the same chip but in the end its up to you.

(And i get where you are coming from!)

Actually I'm thinking of doing an I5/I7 build (depending) for my fiance depending on price (she's always delt with Intel's her whole life) and I plan on using the 9370/9570 (the newest one since I multitask the heck out of my poor computer.
