Thoughts on this build?

I went from 40c idle 3.4 ghz to 30c 4.0 ghz idle. From my experience its decent. That was with Antec Kulher though, I don't know about Corsair and don't have experience with it.

Its performance might be decent, the price isn't though. Not to mention that it's not as practical as a traditional heatsink+fan combo.

I got an Antec Kuhler 620 awhile back from Microcenter for $35 and it was pretty worth it for me. And I don't like big fans honestly, they are gigantic. IMO I rather have a radiator than a giant block of a heatsink but thats my opinion ofc.

120MM fans should be quiet enough, shouldn't it?

Anyways, my graphics card idles at 55 degrees celcius. Is that normal? :O

Yes, the larger the fan the quieter the sound. And no, that is not normal. 55C is fine, but that seems a tad high.

Not entirely true. A larger fan is usually quieter because they push greater CFM at lower RPM. If you were to up the RPM to match a smaller fans RPM then they would just as noisy, not to mention any fan with bad bearings will make noise regardless of size.
