[SOLVED] replacing Gelid phantom fans would i see a temp improvement?

Solution
Fans that come on coolers are usually designed for that usage, or the heatsinks are designed around a specific fan. So there's no telling exactly what's going to happen. The Gelid has a considerably higher TDP, but since the current aio is well over the cpu limits, temps are going to reflect the coolers efficiency, not its capacity. And changing fans can affect efficiency.

You forgot to mention something. Please include/list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
GPU:
PSU:
OS:

include the cooler you're on right now and what sort of temps you're getting inclusive of your ambient room temperature(s). We can then move forward with suggestions. Also state the airflow and the number of fans in the chassis.
