Thinking of upgrading to one, just need to know if what is the wattage to predict the temperatures.

EVGA SR-2 / 2x Intel Xeon X5675 4.4Ghz OC / 24GB EEC 1800Mhz OC/ AMD RX570 / Enermax Evoliution 1050W / Main RAID 0: 2x256GB 840EVO SSD / BackUp(1) Raid 5: 3x2TB WD HDD / BackUp(2) 8x2TB / Dell U2412M / Dell U2312HM

I'll work fine for your Xeon. It cools my badly overclocked 3770k really well, which I think is 77 watts.

PC SPECS: CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k @4.4GHz - Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 (Z77) - GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr 2GB - RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB (8GB) 1600MHz CL8 + 1x8GB - Storage: SSD: Sandisk Extreme II 120GB. HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - PSU: be quiet! Pure Power L8 630W semi modular  - Case: Corsair Obsidian 450D  - OS: Windows 7

It doesn't have one? you can't predict the temps either its different on a case to case basis.

Well, what are your xeon temps now with what cooler?

Wattage ratings for the cpu cooler dont really mean much....

I don't understand what you're talking about.

TDP does not represent the real wattage draw and after you OC your cpu, there is no point in the tdp score any longer. I know my cpu power draw and interested in capabilities of the cooler with my OCed cpu.

It doesn't have one? you can't predict the temps either its different on a case to case basis.

It has tdp which is not an accurate score after OC. I can predict by messuring the power draw from different case and getting bench test from anandtech

Wattage ratings for the cpu cooler dont really mean much....

80C under prime95, but I have shitty xigmatek dark knight 2 / Aegir

Tdp is not accurate for me after OC and anandtech have a good review with wattage benchtest

Your OP is asking how many watts the cooler draws, and very poorly written.

"...just need to know if what is the wattage to predict the temperatures."

Here's a chart listing all Noctua coolers' TDPs http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=tdp_guide

Project White Lightning (My ITX Gaming PC): Core i5-4690K | CRYORIG H5 Ultimate | ASUS Maximus VII Impact | HyperX Savage 2x8GB DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Black 1TB | Sapphire RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX | Corsair AX760 | LG 29UM67 | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | HyperX Cloud II | Logitech Z333

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

...why are you still reading this?

80°C under prime 95 is o.k., with the nh d14 it might be 5-10°C lower or so.

That's the reason why I was looking for any info on max wattage dissipation. 5-10C is not a enough for spending money on two d14s. If anandtech temperature results are precise I should be looking at a 20-25C lower temperatures. Which might be realistic result knowing that my coolers are half the weight/surface area of d14s. 5C can be achieved by very good thermal paste alone

mhh, where did you find a test with 25°C difference?

The Xigmatek dark knight is not that shabby and performs pretty much like all the other 120mm single tower fans with a couple of heatpipes like a 212.

Compared to a high end heatsink the difference is usually 5-10°C and in all direct test Ive found the difference was somewhere in that range.

But anyways, your cpus to not throttel or explode ( or are you running them at 100% for long periods of time?)

It's two of them in their, OCed to 4.4Ghz and it is toasty. To be honest I'm not afraid of them exploding as long as rendering times are very good. Another 6 core xeon will cost around 80GBP. Damn, if you're right about the max 10C bump, there will be not a lot of room for overclocking even more. I might try just buy one and see what is the difference in real world. Thank you very much

The difference in degrees will be larger with more oc'ing. 5c lower at idle says a lot more than 5c lower at load. 

This might help show the difference: http://www.overclock.net/t/718065/xigmatek-dark-knight-versus-noctua-nh-d14-results

At 4.4Ghz / 1.3625V / Pirme95 = 93C. I down clocked it to 4Ghz for the sake of temperatures. At 4ghz / 78C
