The same CPU will throttle to 68ยฐC vs 71ยฐC under sustained load depending on cooler quality. That 3ยฐC difference translates to 4-8% sustained performance gap. The chip you buy matters. The cooler you pair it with matters equally. A $300 cooler on a $400 processor outperforms a $400 cooler on a $600 processor in real workloads.
