Depends on which cooler

But really, it will likely mostly be the noise that can be reduced. Other than that, it depends on the chip, cooler you're thinking about, case you have, case fans, etc. etc.

Any decent cooler will make it so the CPU wont have to thermal throttle though

@Minibois any temperature change?

Let's suppose you have an i7 6700 on a stock: yes, you will get lower temps. On an i3 the difference will be less.

yes it will be cooler then with the Intel stock heatsink and in most cases also quieter. i dont see a real reason to put an aftermarket cooler on a locked chip if you dont think it has amazing BCLK OC potential or you want a quieter PC(i have found GPUs to cause more noice then CPU coolers though)

 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

It'll be cooler, depending entirely on your CPU. The more powerful, the bigger the difference. The real difference will be noise. An aftermarket cooler will usually have a bigger, quieter fan, and more efficient heatsink so the fan will spin much slower to keep things cool. Then you can set up a fan curve and make it quieter still.

Depends a lot. But most of the time people don't get aftermarket coolers for non-OC CPUs because of temps. Stock cooling is fine for just cooling performance. Biggest reasons to upgrade coolers are noise and looks.
