Well though you guys would like to check out my build all purchased. Some stuff was left off like speakers and storage which is a work in progress to see what i want.

The Noctua products are totally silent. You don't need the L.N.A. adaptor.

The EVGA Supernova is a tier 3: Power supplies fully able to meet ATX specs, although closer to the edges of the limits than higher tier units. Still solid units.

 

The Gtx980 gpu run at 1393Mhz, one of the fastest. And need 263w instead of 165w. Then a 650w psu is the good choice: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-3988-KR

 

The Noctua is 150mm width. Can cause a compatibility problem with the Pcie slot. The Raijintek Themis is 122mm width.http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/cases/phanteks-enthoo-evolv-mitx-case-review/

Noctua shows no compatibility issues with stinger and u14s on there website

Also in that pic that motherboard has the CPU socket toward the bottom

That board is like mine with CPU socket toward top

 

Anything thing that board in that link has a vertical daughter board

which it also clears.

 

Relooked at your link the z97 msg gaming has the CPU near the pcie the z170 stinger does not .

Just did a test after reading this:

 

I am running my 980 at 1500MHz GPU and 8000MHz Mem with the core voltage slider at the MINIMUM and PowerLimit at MAXIMUM and draw 460W in Kombustor on the 12V rail with the cpu less than 50% load for Kombustor ( same or less than 50W load for CPU ). That leaves a whopping 350-400W for the card in full mode :)

 

In DCS this is 100W less, but when u oc that 980GTX it can get very hungry.

 

Now add prime95 with all cores and you easily find yourself in the 650W actual draw league... with ONE GTX, not SLI ! add another one with 350W average and you eat 1kW !

oops I was wrong !!! ..thought that is too much and looked again but closely this time and you are very right, almost down to the Watt :)

 

2 pics, first one CPU full load, 2nd pic CPU and GPU full load, 270W for the GPU...not 350-400 !!

 

shit happens...and what I found out is that after my rig's coffee bath and cleaning I need to redo the cooling paste, prime95 will now get the CPU towards 90°C after 15min which never was the case before. In DCS it is only 1-2°C, I now just crack the 50°C, before usually always 48-49°C. The KC-LR cleaner can must have washed out some of the ceramic cooling paste too...what a damn thing to fix.

 

I am glad the GPU, despite rinsed in a shower of LR still remains at the same temps, I would not like to take that thing even more apart than I had to anyway to clean it.

 

tried 4.9 and 5.0 GHZ LOL = INSTANT FREEZE ..a clear sign of "BIT !!! TAKE ME APART !!"

 

 

Temps tell you pretty much exactly what your cooling solution does if you know the temps you had achieved before and are now exceeding.
