Can a I7 6700 non K benefit from a H60 rather than being on stock fan?

[prowlingvermillion]

Have friend who uses his pc to animate, and 3d model. Will he get better performance if he replaces his stock intel fan?

 

his build

 

i7 6700

evga 960

2x8gbs coraisr vengance 2300mhz

No and anyway he doesn't need an aftermarket CPU cooler for that CPU. 

[RollinLower]

only if the stock intel fan makes the CPU thermal throttle, which shouldn;t be happening with a locked chip.

[Aytex]

If noise is a problem just grab a 212 or a cryoig h7

An AIO cooler isn't worth the money for a 65W TDP processor. A ~$30 USD CM Hyper 212 would certainly do a fantastic job, if you can fit in your case.

 

Otherwise the cooler I have, a low-profile 95W TDP cooler, does an amazing job of keeping the processor cool and at turbo speeds as well.

Isnt it slightly quieter xD?

Even if he renders a lot of water waves and high detail poly on maya?

 

he feels that his cpu can do better with a aftermaket fan

It's fine.

sorry but it wont. You can overclock the cpu a little bit depending on your motherboard, but not enough to make a real difference. If you have little to no airflow in your case it could maybe do a little bit.

If he expects a major improvement he'll probably be a little disappointed with a locked CPU

[NTDaws]

No. The CPU is locked and doesn't generate enough heat to gain a bottleneck.

Thx everyone ! I'll tell him that if wants he could get a hyper 212 then, he was worrying that the stock fan wasnt going to cool off his cpu wen rendering

hyper 212 is still overkill but cheap enough that it is worth the peace of mind if he is really concerned about it. It will be more of a placebo effect than actually doing something though

Honestly he should spend his money trying to get a better GPU than the 960, he has a CPU that can be considered high end with a not that good graphics card... not the best pairing, stock cooling aside from being noisy is fully sufficient for locked processors.

the rules for a gaming pc do not apply to all scenarios As said by op he does animation / 3d modelling. These are pretty CPU intensive, much more so than games.

A processor on full load is a processor on full load, the load itself doesn't matter if it's max out [; he did not say he has been throttling at all merely wanted to know if there would be a performance gain from getting a better cooler and the short answer' no.

[jimmy1516]

A cooler temp could possibly extend the life of the chip, and liquid cooling a stock clocked chip will be a VERY silent solution.

Overall probably not entirely worth it, but there are still benefits, albeit little ones,.
