H100i with (Noctua ) aftermarket fans on a 980X is 10C cooler than a NH-D14 for me. Good review though boss, insightful.

I still don't get what I'm doing wrong with my system. I currently have a CPU370 with 4 120's directly to it as my GTX690 is down and even after delidding I can't seem to get my temps under 70c full load @ 4.5Ghz. I also can't seem to run it under 1.3v stable at that speed either yet I see pretty much everyone else able to do that.

Feel like I got shafted =(

me too

i can't get 4.6ghz fully stable below 1.295v-1.30v

mine is not delidded but even using a custom water cooler with 4 cooler rad and 1500 pump in a simple loop i cant get temps below 90c-95c under prime95 at max cpu torture

even considering my ambient temp over 30°₢ (very hot summer here) and 2 gtx 580 blowing hot air

Oh! another candidate for the delid test?
Sounds like it would greatly benefit you but with the 3770k is a huge risk, i was prepared to go weeks without computer before i done my 3570k.
There's a couple of great delid threads here:

I was at the same temps he was at, like 90c until I delidded it now I'm down to like 77-82c. But then I see people that hit like 60c and I'm like what the hell is going on.

Try the spread method if you didn't already, on both the die and inbetween cooler @ IHS(light spread on die and over outside of IHS), i recommend the diamond based but it's thick and horrid to spread.
