I7 7700 cooling upgrade

[bonnell208]

HP Eliteone 800 G3 AIO with I7 7700 CPU the CPU runs at the max temperature or just under most of the time I would like to have a cooler that cools better than the OE cooler but the fan is pretty specific I don't feel like I could do a major overhaul to instal an aftermarket fan but I can't find an upgrade that will fit like an OE fan. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there even such a thing?

Having looked up the PC and watching a disassembly video you are more or less out of luck on upgrading the fan, It uses a very proprietary system. You could try and open up the PC, and then clean out the fan with some canned air (always hold the fans to keep them from spinning otherwise you risk shorting out the board), and if you feel comfortable you could try to apply some higher quality thermal paste to the CPU. If you are really adventurous you could Delid the 7700 CPU itself and either apply better thermal compound of liquid metal which will def lower the temps.

All of these suggestions will void the warranty most likely, so proceed at your own risk.
