I'm changing the parts and using more generic stock info. No need to overclock, and they match in power consumption. Thinking about swapping the whole cooling solution too.
The 6700 responds well to the stock cooler, particularly when undervolting is applied.
The environment will be calmer, yet the stock intel cooler enables a 6700 to operate at maximum power without any restrictions.
Absolutely, nearly anything is preferable to the stock cooler. It should function perfectly.
