SOLVED Hyper 212 Evo Dual Fan Benifitial

[TagTeam]

I have a Hyper 212 Evo cooler and I was wondering if anyone has installed a second fan on the cooler and if it made any difference in performence?

 

[pwnmachine]

I have 2 fans installed on mine and yes, it did make a difference.

I noticed about a 3-4'c drop in temps when running at full speed. However for me the real benefit was the noise reduction without sacrificing cooling.

 

[TagTeam]

How did that help you reduce noise?

 

[pwnmachine]

Because you can run both fans at a lower speed but still attain the same cooling.

 

[TagTeam]

That makes sense, did you use the OEM model coller master fan as the second fan or go with a different 120mm

 

[pwnmachine]

I used the stock fan and a scythe slip stream. So different fan combinations will yeild different results, tbh I would go with whatever matches your needs.

For example would you like something quiet or something that has more air flow etc.

Do the fans blow in a push/pull configuration or do they both blow in opposite directions?

 

[Mandrake4565]

Bustos Push/pull works better then push/push or pull/pull, I tried each on my 212+

 

[Bustos]

Yes, I figured that. Wanted to know which set up is default.

 

[Mandrake4565]

The Hyper 212 only comes with one fan so default is usually push. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question.

After adding the second fan to the cooler...

Do the fans blow in a push/pull configuration or do they both blow in opposite directions?

...as default?

Sorry, I thought the 2nd fan was implied, considering the topic of the thread. I guess it's really moot anyways considering you can change fan directions. I'll have to learn how, to make sure they push/pull in the direction I want to control the airflow.

You Change the direction of the fan by changing the mounting bracket to the other side, But I noticed no difference when I ran a 2 fan push pull on my 212 EVO. I'd just add another fan to the case for more airflow.

Quick question:
I can't find OEM 212 EVO fans in Europe. I did find a V6GT fan on the CoolerMaster website. With that in mind, would 2 V6GT fans fit on a 212 EVO heatsink? Because they are around 500-600 RPM faster, same size, same design - therefore it should fit, right?

any 120mm fan will work with the 212 EVO.

any 120mm fan will work with the 212 EVO.

LOL. Top notch fan expert input there.
