I currently have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooling my i5-6600k at 4.5Ghz. Is it worth it to uprgade to a Corsair H80i GT? What are the temperature differences? My case is a Corsair 200r. Thanks.

Not everyone has the same thought process when deciding what the correct move is. The H80i GT can run quieter, be semi easier to install and subjectively have a better aesthetic all in addition to cooling better.

Regardless, for the money on the budget cooler market the Cryorig H7 is hands down better than the 212 Evo for a small sum more.
Honestly doubt you will see a huge performance difference, not worth the $$.. I run a 212 evo and sit at 26-30c idle & 50-60c prime95.. Thats on a 6600k @ 4.6ghz 1.325v.. You might see a 5c difference if your lucky.. Honestly better off saving up a little more and going with a swiftech which is much better than h80 or h100 etc..
