That's pretty damn good for a stock heat sink! On my units, I've noticed a considerable temperature drop when I upgrade the heatsink. The fan upgrade is more of a noise thing, IMO. All that's to say is you could be even more impressed with performance if you did upgrade that heatsink, but I sense you don't want to. :)

Maybe in the future for fun. Does it make more noise?

Currently the stock one is keeping it at ~55° C at ~60% which is pretty nice.

Nope, a new heatsink will not make more noise. Not sure if you changed the fan, but that'll likely make your unit be whisper quiet.

Ah ok. I automatically assumed you meant changing heatsink+fan. Then sounds like a good idea for when I renew the thermal paste. Thanks!
