Did you measure the temperature both before and after? While running some compute-intensive process?
Reminds me of when I was working at Intel when the first Pentium (586) processors were developed. The early prototypes cranked out 50+ watts, so we used to joke "It's a CPU, no it's a coffee warmer". They built one-off, horrifically expensive water jackets for the beasts.
I didn't do a full stress test beforehand since I upgraded to the i7 8700k right before I put this all together, but I can tell you that the idle temp dropped from around 50 C to between 30-35 C for the CPU and GPU. Under load my computer barely cracks 50-60 C now so I'd say it's a great improvement!
