If you're not planning to OC the i7 to 5GHz, I would think that massive radiator is overkill. I run mine on the H80i and it never gets over about 57C at 4GHz unless I'm running the Prime95 "max heat" torture test.
[edit] Well, I stand by that, except to say that I had to bump up my fan speeds from "silent" to "not quite silent" on the radiator to overcome the heat load that Empyrion puts on the CPU. Apparently hours of building bases is quite the processor suck.Caveat with that statement is that i only run one 120mm Noctua fan on my H80i instead of the two that came with it.
