Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise

An Hydro Series H55 liquid cooler has no trouble taming the overclocked CPU - under-load temperature is a cool 58ºC. The GeForce GTX 960 temp might have been lower, and though the 80ºC reading is within limits, the higher-than-expected result can be attributed to the reference cooler and the fact that the Source 340 chassis has no front intake.

Temps aren't really a problem, what's more of a concern is system noise. The Hydro Series H55 isn't the quietest and the MSI GTX 960 doesn't have a fan that turns off when idle. As a consequence, the system can always be clearly heard. It would be a stretch to call it loud, however it's also far from silent and this could be remedied with a quieter air cooler for the CPU and a custom-cooled GTX 960.
