Most likely you don't. The 220T has great airflow and if the cpu temperatures were already fine, it's going to be (most likely) slightly better than before. You can spend extra on a better cooler to lower the temperatures, but would it be worth a few degrees?

Unless its a i9 9900k. Those things are hard to keep cool. Didn't matter what I put on it, as soon as a game loaded up it shoot up to 95c and then dance around 99c until I stopped playing. Scary since the Tj was 100 on those.

Assuming he still has the cpu that he created a post about in march/april, it's an i5-6500, so nothing to worry about.

Oh really. You call a 95w cpu hard to cool?

My brother has a Core 2 quad Q6600 which is his daily-driver and  has 105w TDP and with a Antec A30 cooler and it never overheats.I think Intel has changed their standard for measuring TDP.
