Hey everyone, I have a zalman cnps11x and I am wondering
if I replace the fan will I notice a huge difference in Temperatures
I am looking at some coolermaster fans but really dont want to
spend the money if it isnt going to make a worthy difference.
I am currently overclocked to 4ghz with an 1100t at 1.525Vcore
my temps are hitting around 53 under full load and around 32
when temps are idle.
If I could see perhaps a 4-5 degree difference I would consider
this worthwhile.
Thoughts?

A fan is very unlikely to provide a temp decrease of 4-5C.
1-2C drop max if you changed it and CM fans aren't the place to look.
Your temps look excellent btw.
Better off trying better paste that could give you a 2-3C drop.
Tuniq TX-3,AS5,and Prolimatech PK-1 are such paste.
