Is there be any benifit to piggy back cpu fans? would it cool the air a little more as it goes thru the fans due to more turbulance? just a thought.

If you have 2 fans that turn in opposite directions, it would lessen the turbulance resulting in less noise. If they're turning in the same direction, probably not.

Turning in opposite directions? As in one blowing and one sucking? lol I doubt that would be very effective.
As a general rule, stacking fans is usually not very efficient.

i believe bobby meant ...opposite directions, as in: one fan spinning clockwise, and the other spinning counter-clockwise....but both fans assumably blowing on the heatsink....

Ah ok, well I'm still no believer in the efficiency of stacked setups.
