Today I replaced the CPU cooler on my Blue Iris server (i7-3770k, not overclocked). I was using the freebie Intel heatsink and fan, but it had grown very dusty and I was tired of seeing 100C temperatures. Rather than just clean the dust out of the heatsink, I decided to do it properly and bought one of these and installed it. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
The temperature differences are dramatic. The real-world effect is practically none. Maybe a little lower power consumption due to more efficient operation at a lower temperature?
