where would i find a PSU Calc?

by the way, this must be more than coincidence.
my
Seidon 120XL just recently died on me, so i had to use the Noctua NH-U12S (exactly like your model) temporarily, while i find enough motivation to start the RMA process.
speaking from experience here. my AMD 8350 is hot. the seidon 120XL could just about enough contain it (with nearly no overclock by the way, with the tiny exception of pushing the memory frequency to DDR3 2400 MHz).
i nearly skipped a heartbeat to find the radiator pump dying on me (in which, the CH5FZ failsafe features kicked in and force shutdown-ed my computer - thank goodness!) so no permanent harm is done.
the Noctua NH-U12S (current temporary replacement cooler), cannot contain the heat effectively. i did folding@home whenever the the computer is on back then when using the seidon. with the noctua however, it reached 76 C, prompting me to halt any folding for now till i get back the replacement parts. i had to turn on the air conditioning in my room if i were to do some serious folding / gaming.
when overclocking, it's mostly about containing the heat while reaching a stable condition, usable 24/7.
so, if you're planning to Overclock your 8350, i'd suggest you wait until you get yourself the H100i.
no siggy, saw stuff that made me sad.
