[SOLVED] Should i replace the stock Hyper 212 evo fan ?

[knowledge2121]

1. Would it make a difference if i replace the stock fan with a higher CFM pressure-optimized fan ?

2. Would it make a difference if i add a second fan ?

3. Are there any mods to improve the 212's cooling ?

1. No
2. No
3. No

What is your objective?

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, it would be noisier
2. Yes, it would be noisier.
3. No, the cooling capability is largely baked in by the volume of the fins.

So it doesnt help cooling..

How about delidding the CPU and using arctic mx5 on and under the ihs ?

MX5's cooling performance is very close to liquid metal ?

Why?
What are you trying to achieve?

Overclocking the 6500 to 4.5ghz

Overclocking the 6500 to 4.5ghz

The non K processors are not capable of overclocking in any significant way(>2%)

Non-k Skylake cpus with the right bios can be bclk overclocked

True enough, but Intel is not supporting that and has asked motherboard vendors with such a capability to withdraw such bios capabilities.
They may still be out there and available for the motherboards that initially had that capability.
The OP could certainly try to search out such bootleg bios options for their motherboard.

You need a better cooler.

The 212 series is/was so popular, only because they were slightly better than stock, and inexpensive.
They are not particularly good CPU coolers.

And a delid should be the absolute LAST thing you consider doing, after all other options are explored, and you are actually running into thermal throttling.

Whats the best air cooler under 70 cdn ?

I searched and the best cooler in this price range is the ARCTIC Freezer 34 Esports Duo.

i can get it for 70 bucks shipping included...
