Not having any issues yet (PC hasn't been built yet) but I have both of the parts listed and was hoping for some insight on how effective this cooling is on this processor (AMD FX-8350) with the water cooling (Nepton 240M). So, how cool does it keep your processors? Any bad experiences?

This isn't exactly answering your question but if I were you, I would not purchase the FX8350 at this time in the year.

Currently AMD's new CPU line is coming out next year and will not be compatible with the AM3+ motherboards which the 8350 uses. AMD Zen looks very promising so it is work waiting for it to come our early next year.

I am currently running a system with an 8350 and use a corsair H75 (single 140mm radiator, i think, look it up), and I get temps from 35C at idle and 50-65C at load with 60% fan speed.

AMD's chips are known to be a bit extra hot but in my experience they don't go above 80C which is what I consider to be "too hot".

Hope this helps!
