Yes, it can and often does help, but please look into the option mentioned first - you’re not going to put the system in as much risk that way.
In most systems like this it isn’t an issue if you trash a CPU as they’re often cheap enough to replace (or it was done sensibly, as in the CPU socket is on the bottom and the CPU comes off with the heatsink, so it’s low risk), but Xeons are NOT CHEAP - you do not want to ruin one, or the socket! They’re amazing CPUs when you can score cheap Xeon hardware (I would say yes to the Xeon version of the same machine, without a question), but you do not want to damage the CPU or socket since the damage is far more expensive to correct then a standard Core i CPU. The issue is Apple removed the metal bracket Intel installs to gain a little space back due to the needs of the trashcan cooling system.

Normally it’s something I recommend as a quick TSing step to rule TIM out, but on these trashcans it’s not for the faint of heart and you need to know how to do it right, or you’ll create expen$ive damage :-(. Launch iStatistica Sensors application from the Launchpad and turn 'Enable I/O Plug-in' switch on. Open downloaded iStatisticaSensors.dmg image and copy iStatistica Sensors to your Applications folder. Download iStatistica Sensors Monitoring Plug-in. Check that you have iStatistica Pro installed.

Chances are that if the fan is spinning at full speed most of the time, something is blocking its airflow or the heatsink’s heat transfer ability. iStatistica Sensors Plug-in Installation. I would recommend trying this first before going and replacing the fan or heatsink. Set the maximum temperature to about 80-90 degrees Celsius respectively. I would recommend setting the temperature to start ramping up the fan to about 50-60 degrees Celsius depending on if you want your Mac Pro to idle cooler or quieter. Change the temperature sensor to either the CPU die or the CPU core average.
Set the control option to sensor-based value. To do this, click on the custom control button for your Mac Pro’s exhaust fan. I would recommend changing the fan curve for the exhaust fan in your Mac Pro. What I can tell you is that the CPU core or die temperatures should never go over 80 degrees Celsius under load, especially in a desktop. You will need to do a little bit of experimentation with this, as I have never owned a “trashcan” style Mac in my life. I would say 50 degrees is too hot for a desktop Mac to idle at, so you can change the fan settings to make it idle cooler.
It is considered normal for a Mac to idle at 40-50 degrees Celsius depending on what type you have.
