So it's really hot in the UK right now and my temps are rising, and my 3570k is suffering from overclock degradation in general I think as my once stable overclock isn't stable any more, it constantly wants more juice. I was just wondering how good the stock fan on the Antec Kuhler is, and would buying a better one make a noticeable difference in temp? It's currently 50c idle at 4.3GHz @ 1.25 which seems high, and it can get up to about 77c while playing CS GO. I recently cleaned the fans and replaced the thermal paste.
How much difference would replacing the Antech Kuhler 620 default fan make?

Sounds more like badly seated cooler or some issue with the cooler rather than cooler limitation. Temps shouldn't be nearly 80 celsius in a game that isn't that CPU intensive, I would have thought you should be much nearer 60 celsius at load during gaming, 30 odd at idle.
