more surface area to cool with sounds worthy. 

what temps with the u12s and what are you expecting with the x52?

well my temps when gaming is on 60-63..im expecting it would lower down to the mid 50's? also I was originally planning on buying the x62 variant but Its a waste if cant use the 2 Noctua fans...do you also think that the GPU temps might get lower if using an AIO?? Corsair Or NZXT AIO?

If I'm gonna be honest, you'd get a better temp improvement by ordering a delidding tool and delidding your 6700K, then add some Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut down there. Even with the U12S that may result in easy 10C better temps if you do it right. Thankfully the delid tools don't allow for much error chance.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

That sounds about right. I'm running a delidded 3770k under a NH-U12S for my testbench.

Why are you shooting for such low temps? Bragging rights?
