I'm checking my temperatures and CPU temps. The new cooler should help, but I want to make sure it works well. My temps shouldn't rise much compared to the current setup. I'm not sure if I need to take the CPU out for cleaning or just remove it from the socket. Since it's been a while since I last worked on my PC, I'll follow the recommended steps for AIO units. I'll start with the water block first, then clean the radiator. For the GPU, I'll remove it to get better access. My case and motherboard are set up as specified.

Consider crafting a tailored loop. At least 360 radians is recommended for optimal performance and noticeable overclocking potential.

What cooler are you using right now? Or does it come with the case? The NH-D15 is one of the top choices, usually you'll notice a boost (better temps/speeds/loudness or more). Are you using the CM H100? That supports coolers up to 83mm, whereas the NH-D15 is around 160mm or more. You don’t need to take the CPU out of the socket. Unplug all cables, remove the pump/block combo from the CPU, and take off the radiator—it seems like the most sensible steps.
