Yes, I also finished my build a couple days ago, reusing my NH-D14, and It works well. I had used coollaboratory liquid ultra on that old build (and again this time, very pleased with it), and man, was it hard to remove it from the cpu! This stuff is like low-temp solder, and has to be sanded off both surfaces once it sets. Finding a all-in-one watercooler that beats it won't be easy, probably would need a 360mm radiator I'd imagine

I thought it would be too, but I was reading some reviews of the cooler master 140Xl the other day (never really looked into water cooling before) and apparently it's quite capable once you start really pushing the overclocks. Apparently the NH-D14 starts falling off once you start getting the clock speeds up there on the newer cpu models. I'll have to check back through my browser history if you're interested but one review I was reading I think there was a 10C+ difference under load at high OC between the all-in-one and the Noctua. I suppose it's probably a better idea to look into building my own watercoolign system though so I can take advantage of the hybrid VRM cooler on the Formula.
