No noticable changes in temperatures, compared to the stock HSF that's included with my CPU. Just my observation. BTW, I don't use Cool & Quiet.

Silent Boost performance isn't as good as we might expect from copper cooler. I heard that most of its poor performance is related with bad fan. So I wonder how good it would perform with nice 80mm fans and if Arctic fan 3 would fit.
Use good paste - it sometimes gives better temp boost than cooler replacement.

Used stock Tt paste
I just slapped a Super-loud-high-speed-80mm-fan on there and I am noticing an average drop of about 3-5c on my idle temps, 2-3c loss under load. Now I wonder what I can do with the fan that came with it. Any ideas, lol? It's got those slot thingies on the side, could be usefull in a PSU.
